Abstract Textured Nd 2 NiO 4+ δ bulk ceramic membranes are fabricated via slip casting in a 0.9 T magnetic field generated by neodymium magnets. This process aligns the oxide grains with their easy‐magnetization c ‐axis parallel to applied field. Depending on field's direction relative casting, orient either , b ‐plane or normal of disk‐shaped ceramic, thus aligning oxygen permeation direction. Without field, non‐textured membrane is formed. The microstructure and texture meticulously...
