Abstract

See full text

A plasma spray method for the manufacture of an ion conductive membrane is provided which ion conductive membrane has an ion conductivity, in which method the membrane is deposited as a layer (11) onto a substrate (10) in a process chamber, wherein a starting material (P) is sprayed onto a surface of the substrate (10) in the form of a process beam (2) by means of a process gas (G), wherein the starting material is injected into a plasma at a low process pressure, which is at most 10,000 Pa, and is partially or completely molten there. Oxygen (O2; 22) is supplied to the process chamber (12) during the spraying at a flow rate which amounts to at least 1%, preferably at least 2%, of the overall flow rate of the process gas.
