Thin films of La 1.61GeO 5−δ, a new oxide ionic conductor, were fabricated on dense polycrystalline Al 2O 3 substrates by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method and the effect of the film thickness on the oxide ionic conductivity was investigated on the nanoscale. The deposition parameters were optimized to obtain La 1.61GeO 5−δ thin films with stoichiometric composition. Annealing was found necessary to get crystalline La 1.61GeO 5−δ thin films. It was also found that the annealed La 1.61GeO 5−δ film exhibited extraordinarily high oxide ionic conductivity. Due to the nano-size effects, the oxide ion conductivity of La 1.61GeO 5−δ thin films increased with the decreasing thickness as compared to that in bulk La 1.61GeO 5−δ. In particular, the improvement in conductivity of the film at low temperature was significant .The electrical conductivity of the La 1.61GeO 5−δ film with a thickness of 373 nm is as high as 0.05 S cm − 1 (log( σ/S cm − 1) = − 1.3) at 573 K. 相似文献

The europium dopant concentration in strontium cerate was studied to achieve maximum hydrogen permeation. In order to determine high ambipolar conductivity, total conductivity and open circuit potential measurements were performed. Among the three different compositions of Eu-doped SrCe 1 ? xEu xO 3 ? δ ( x = 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2) studied, SrCe 0.9Eu 0.1O 3 ? δ showed highest total conductivity between 600 °C and 900 °C. However, transference number measurements showed increasing electronic conductivity with increasing dopant concentration and a stronger temperature dependence for electronic conduction. Therefore, the highest ambipolar conductivity was obtained over the compositional range from SrCe 0.85Eu 0.15O 3 ? δ to SrCe 0.8Eu 0.2O 3 ? δ depending on temperature. Finally, the hydrogen permeation flux was calculated based on the ambipolar conductivity and compared with experimental results. 相似文献

Thin films of BaCe 0.8Gd 0.2O 3 were prepared by solid state reaction of two screen-printed layers over porous substrates. The first layer consists of the oxygen ion conductor Ce 0.8Gd 0.2O 2 with a fluorite structure, whereas the top layer consists of BaCO 3. After decomposition of the carbonate, BaO reacts with Ce 0.8Gd 0.2O 2 forming the perovskite oxide BaCe 0.8Gd 0.2O 3−δ with protonic conductivity. The in-situ reaction and densification on the porous substrates results in gastight thin layers of 10 to 50 μm and allows overcoming the problems due to the poor sinterability of the proton conductor. Two different porous substrates prepared by warm-pressing were studied as membrane supports, i.e., (i) porous composite NiO–Zr 0.85Y 0.15O 2, commonly employed as solid oxide fuel cell anode and (ii) porous Ce 0.8Gd 0.2O 2 oxide. The structural properties of the layer, compositional gradients and occurring phases are described, as well as water uptake, gastightness (He leaking rate) and emf measurement. Protonic conducting membranes are particularly suited not only for hydrogen separation combined with reforming and water–gas-shift converters but also as a protonic fuel cell electrolyte. 相似文献

Using a structural field map for ABO 3 perovskites outlining the state of their d-electrons and their conduction behavior, strategies for semi-conducting and metallic conducting perovskites can be investigated. In this study the electrical properties of the Pr 1−xSr xMn 1−yIn yO 3−δ perovskites have been characterized. The Pr 1−xSr xMn 1−yIn yO 3−δ perovskites show semi-conducting behavior for all compositions. Indium decreases the conductivity and increases the activation energy. The conductivity was found to be independent of oxygen partial pressure in the range from approximately 20% to 20 ppm and at temperatures up to 800 °C. The highest conductivity value of 143 S/cm was recorded for Pr 0.5Sr 0.5MnO 3−δ at 800 °C. 相似文献

Oxygen nonstoichiometry, structure and transport properties of the two compositions (La 0.6Sr 0.4) 0.99CoO 3−δ (LSC40) and La 0.85Sr 0.15CoO 3−δ (LSC15) were measured. It was found that the oxygen nonstoichiometry as a function of the temperature and oxygen partial pressure could be described using the itinerant electron model. The electrical conductivity, σ, of the materials is high ( σ > 500 S cm − 1) in the measured temperature range (650–1000 °C) and oxygen partial pressure range (0.209–10 − 4 atm). At 900 °C the electrical conductivity is 1365 and 1491 S cm − 1 in air for LSC40 and LSC15, respectively. A linear correlation between the electrical conductivity and the oxygen vacancy concentration was found for both samples. The mobility of the electron-holes was inversely proportional with the absolute temperature indicating a metallic type conductivity for LSC40. Using electrical conductivity relaxation the chemical diffusion coefficient of oxygen was determined. It was found that accurate values of the chemical diffusion coefficient could only be obtained using a sample with a porous surface coating. The porous surface coating increased the surface exchange reaction thereby unmasking the chemical diffusion coefficient. The ionic conductivity deduced from electrical conductivity relaxation was determined to be 0.45 S cm − 1 and 0.01 S cm − 1 at 1000 and 650 °C, respectively. The activation energy for the ionic conductivity at a constant vacancy concentration ( δ = 0.125) was found to be 0.90 eV. 相似文献

Ceria-based thin films are potential materials for use as gas-sensing layers and electrolytes in micro-solid oxide fuel cells. Since the average grain sizes of these films are on the nanocrystalline scale (< 150 nm), it is of fundamental interest whether the electrical conductivity might differ from microcrystalline ceria-based ceramics. In this study, CeO 2 and Ce 0.8Gd 0.2O 1.9−x thin films have been fabrication by spray pyrolysis and pulsed laser deposition, and the influence of the ambient average grain size on the total DC conductivity is investigated. Dense and crack-free CeO 2 and Ce 0.8Gd 0.2O 1.9−x thin films were produced that withstand annealing up to temperatures of 1100 °C. The dopant concentration and annealing temperature affect highly the grain growth kinetics of ceria-based thin films. Large concentrations of dopant exert Zener drag on grain growth and result in retarded grain growth. An increased total DC conductivity and decreased activation energy was observed when the average grain size of a CeO 2 or Ce 0.8Gd 0.2O 1.9−x thin film was decreased. 相似文献

Y-doped barium cerate BaCe 0.9Y 0.1O 3???δ was synthesised by a solid-state reaction method. Materials with different average grain sizes and grain boundary surface areas were obtained. The effect of microstructure on the chemical stability in the CO 2 and H 2O-containing atmosphere and electrical properties was analysed and discussed. To evaluate the chemical stability of BaCe 0.9Y 0.1O 3???δ , the exposure test was performed. Samples were exposed to the carbon dioxide and water vapour-rich atmosphere at 25 °C for 700 h. Thermogravimetry supplied by mass spectrometry was applied to analyse the samples before and after this comprehensive test. The mass loss for samples before and after the test and the amount of BaCO 3 formed during the test were directly treated as the measure of chemical instability of BaCe 0.9Y 0.1O 3???δ in the atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide and water vapour. As it was observed, the BaCe 0.9Y 0.1O 3???δ chemical stability towards CO 2 and H 2O is not affected by the materials’ microstructure. Electrical properties of BaCe 0.9Y 0.1O 3???δ which differs with microstructure were determined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It was found that the grain interior resistivity and activation energy of grain interior conductivity is microstructure independent. However, the effect on microstructure was seen on the EIS spectra in the range of grain boundary contribution. Therefore, the lowest activation energy and the highest conductivity were observed for a material with the lowest grain boundary surface area. 相似文献

The effect of nickel oxide addition on the densification behaviour and electrical conductivity of BaCe 0.9Y 0.1O 3 ? α (BCY10) is investigated. Small addition (4 mol%) of this sintering aid reduces the sintering temperature by 200 °C and promotes the densification. 95% of the theoretical density was reached after sintering at 1250 °C for 10 h in air. Addition of NiO has no detrimental effect on the total conductivity of BCY10 in wet hydrogen. Nevertheless, the activation energy of the recorded blocking effect is higher than that of the bulk contribution, indicating different electrical properties between grains and internal interfaces in pure and NiO doped BCY10. 相似文献

The structural stability under reducing environment and oxygen permeation fluxes of perovskite-type BaCe xFe 1−xO 3−δ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) ceramic membranes were investigated. The XRD results showed that 5% of cerium doping into the perovskite B-site can make the BaFeO 3−δ transform from the hexagonal structure to the cubic structure, and make the structure stable under 10% H 2–Ar mixed gas at 900 °C for 1 h, but breaks down after 5 h. Lattice parameters and oxygen non-stoichiometry of the as-prepared and reduced samples were measured. Oxygen permeation fluxes of the membranes were measured between 700 and 950 °C. Oxygen permeation during the cooling and heating circles showed that 5% of cerium doping into the perovskite B-site can avoid the phase transformation. The optimum cerium-doped amount on the B-sites was found to be 10%. 相似文献

As potential cathode materials Pr 2−xSr xNiO 4±δ compositions with x = 0.3 and 0.6 were prepared at 1300 °C in air and their electrical conductivity and oxygen non-stoichiometry were investigated in the temperature range 20–1000 °C and oxygen partial pressure ( pO 2) 1–21,000 Pa. Sr-doping allows partially to stabilize the Pr 2NiO 4±δ structure, but some phase transitions were observed in spite of that. The electrical conductivity and the oxygen mobility of the Pr- and La-containing ceramic nickelates with K 2NiF 4- type structure are 10–15% higher for Pr 2−xSr xNiO 4−δ compounds at the same temperature and oxygen partial pressure. 相似文献

The high oxygen permeability combined with reasonable structural stability of perovskite-type ABO3−δ compounds is vital for their potential applications in gas separation, solid oxide fuel cells, sensors, etc. Hence, an attempt is made to develop SrCo0.8Fe0.2O3−δ-based dense membranes with sol-gel-derived oxalates and study their phase stability and oxygen permeation. While X-ray diffraction confirms the presence of a perovskite-type cubic phase above 800 °C, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals the presence of cobalt and iron in 3+ and 4+ oxidation states with O2

− and O− species. The electrical conductivity increases up to a characteristic temperature and decreases slowly thereafter via pronounced carrier scattering. A 1.5-mm-thick membrane displays reasonable oxygen permeability of 1.05 × 10−6 mol cm−2 s−1 at 900 °C but has inadequate stability. Partial substitution of iron with zirconium is shown to improve permeability and stability significantly. Thus, SrCo0.8Fe0.15Zr0.05O3−δ membrane shows promise for oxygen permeation purposes. 相似文献

A series of BaCe 0.8???x Zr x Y 0.2O 3???δ (BCZY x) ( x?=?0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) powders were prepared by EDTA–citrate complexing sol–gel process in this paper. The electrical conducting behavior, as well as chemical stability, was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results reveal that all samples are homogenous perovskite phases. Observed from XRD patterns and thermogravimetric curves, the samples with x?≥?0.4 survive in the pure CO 2, while samples with various Zr contents all present structurally stable against steam at 800 °C. The Zr-free sample of BaCe 0.8Y 0.2O 3???δ possesses the maximum bulk conductivity, 4.25?×?10 ?2 S/cm, but decomposes into Ba(OH) 2 and Ce 0.8Y 0.2O 3???δ in steam. A negative influence of increasing Zr content on the conductivity of BCZY x can be observed by impedance tests. Considering the effect of temperature on the bulk conductivity, BCZY0.4 is preferred to be applied in SOFC as a protonic conductor, ranging from 1.52?×?10 ?4 to 1.51?×?10 ?3 S/cm (500–850 °C) with E a?=?0.859 eV, which is proved to be a good protonic conductor with t H+?≥?0.9. 相似文献

The Ca 3−x−yGd xY yCo 4O 9+δ precursor powders were synthesized by the polyacrylamide gel method. The powders were sintered by the spark plasma sintering (SPS). The DTA analysis showed that the synthesis temperature of Ca 3Co 4O 9+δ was about 933 K, which is lower than that of the conventional citric acid method. The resistivities, the Seebeck coefficients and the thermal conductivities of the samples were measured from room temperature to 973 K. The Seebeck coefficients and the resistivities of the doped samples were remarkably enhanced due to the decrease of the carrier concentration, whereas the thermal conductivities of them were decreased due to the impurity scattering effect. The maximal ZT value of 0.26 was obtained at 973 K for Ca 2.7 Gd 0.15 Y 0.15Co 4O 9+δ. 相似文献

The paper discusses the Y and Nd doped barium cerate perovskites prepared by a modified Pechini method. The series prepared is described by the formula BaCe 0.80Y xNd 0.2−x O 3−δ. The BaCeO 3 based powders, about 10–20 nm sized and uniformly shaped, were obtained through the calcination of the gel at 500 °C for 2 h. Their structures and ionic conductivities were characterized by X-ray diffraction and AC impedance spectroscopy. All the electrolytes were found to be barium cerate based solid solutions of perovskite type structures. Impedance spectra indicate that the grain boundary resistance of the specimen synthesized by this method is smaller than that of the samples prepared by a conventional solid-state method. The ionic conductivities of co-doped barium cerate were a factor of several times than that of the single-doped one at 673–1073 K. Among the electrolytes examined, the one co-doped with 5 mol% Nd and 15 mol% Y shows the best improvement in performance. These co-doped barium cerate are more ideal intermediate temperature (IT) electrolyte materials. 相似文献

The electrical conductivity of sintered samples of Ce 1−xNd xO 2−x / 2 (0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) was investigated in air as a function of temperature between 150 and 600 °C using AC impedance spectroscopy. The individual contribution of the bulk and grain boundary conductivities has been discussed in detail. In the low temperature range (< 350 °C), the activation enthalpy for bulk conductivity exhibited a shallow minimum at 3 mol% Nd, with a value of 0.68 eV. The activation enthalpy also produced a shallow minimum at 5 mol% Nd in the high temperature range (> 350 °C), with a value of 0.56 eV. It was shown that Ce 1−xNd xO 2−x / 2 is an electrolyte that obeys the Meyer Neldel rule. The bulk conductivity data measured by others for the same system has also been recalculated and re-evaluated to facilitate easier comparison with our own data. 相似文献

A co-dopant strategy is used to investigate the effect that the elastic strain in the lattice has on the grain ionic conductivity of doped ceria electrolytes. Based on critical dopant ionic radius ( rc), different compositions in the Lu xNd yCe 1−x−yO 2−δ ( x + y = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20) system are studied. Dopants are added such that the weighted average dopant ionic radius matches rc for all the compositions. Dense ceramic discs are prepared using conventional solid oxide route and sintering methods. Precise lattice parameter measurements are used to calculate the lattice strain. The ionic conductivity of the samples is measured in the temperature range of 250 °C to 700 °C using two-probe electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique. The elastic strain present in Lu xNd yCe 1−x−yO 2−δ system is found to be negligible when compared to Lu xCe 1−xO 2−δ (negative) and Nd xCe 1−xO 2−δ (positive) systems. Grain ionic conductivity of Lu xNd yCe 1−x−yO 2−δ (where x + y = 0.05) at 500 °C is observed to be 1.9 × 10 − 3 S/cm which is twice as high as that of Lu 0.05Ce 0.95O 2−δ. These results extend the validity of the rc concept as a strategy for co-doping ceria electrolytes and open new designing avenues for solid oxide electrolytes with enhanced ionic conductivity. 相似文献

The ceramic sample of Y 0.85Ca 0.15Ba 2Cu 3O 7−δ was prepared by standard solid-state reaction method, and samples with different oxygen concentration were obtained by quenching from high temperature. The internal friction was measured using the vibrating reed method from liquid-nitrogen temperature to room temperature at kilohertz frequency. An internal friction peak was observed around 250 K in Y 0.85Ca 0.15Ba 2Cu 3O 7−δ quenched from 1023 K. The peak is related to the one observed around 220 K (labeled as P3 peak) in undoped YBa 2Cu 3O 7−δ (Y123). This result shows the dependence of P3 peak on carriers density and P3 peak has a strong correlation to the abnormal behavior of Y123 in the underdoped range. The variation of two low temperature thermal activated relaxation peaks (P1 and P2) on oxygen content were also investigated. And consistent explanations were given based on all recent researches. 相似文献

Nanocrystalline powders of strontium modified PbSn 0.15Ti 0.85O 3 (PST) having the formula Pb 0.94Sr 0.06Sn 0.15 have been synthesized by a precursor solution method. The electrical behavior of Pb 0.94Sr 0.06Sn 0.15Ti 0.85O 3 sintered pellets has been studied by complex impedance spectroscopy analysis. The plot of the real and imaginary parts of
the impedance shows that the semicircle exhibits a depression degree with a distribution of relaxation time. The modulus curve
indicates the possibility of non-exponential type conductivity. The values of the activation energy calculated from both plots
of Z” and M”, are 1.06 and 1.09 eV, which reveals that the species responsible for conduction are same. It also confirms that
oxygen vacancies play an important role in conduction. The non-overlapping of the peaks in the plot of M”/M” max and Z”/Z” max as a function of logarithmic frequency measured at 350 °C indicates short-range conduction. The compounds exhibit a negative
temperature coefficient of resistance with an α value of -5×10 -2 °C at 375 °C. The frequency (ω) dependence of conductivity satisfies the ω n power law. The variation of n with temperature suggests that ac conduction is due to small polaron tunneling.

The effect of nickel substitution on defect chemistry, electrical properties, and dimensional stability of calcium-doped yttrium chromite was studied for use as an interconnect material in high temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The compositions of Y 0.8Ca 0.2Cr 1 − xNi xO 3 ± δ (x = 0-0.15), prepared using the glycine nitrate process, showed single phase orthorhombic perovskite structures over a wide range of oxygen partial pressures (4.6 × 10 − 20 atm ≤ pO 2 ≤ 0.21 atm at 900 °C). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that most of the nickel ions replacing chromium ions are divalent and act as acceptor dopants, leading to a substantial increase in conductivity. In particular, the conductivity at 900 °C in air increased from 10 S/cm to 34 S/cm with 15% nickel substitution, and an increase in charge carrier density was confirmed by Seebeck measurements, which validated the predominant Ni 2+ oxidation state. A point defect model was derived, and the relationship between electrical conductivity and oxygen partial pressure was successfully fitted into the proposed model. The defect modeling results indicated that nickel substitution improves the stability of calcium-doped yttrium chromite toward reduction and suppresses the oxygen vacancy formation, which results in significantly increased electrical conductivity in reducing environment. The electrical conductivity of Y 0.8Ca 0.2Cr 0.85Ni 0.15O 3 ± δ at 900 °C in reducing atmosphere ( pO 2 = 10 − 17 atm) was 5.8 S/cm, which was more than an order of magnitude higher than that of Y 0.8Ca 0.2CrO 3 ± δ (0.2 S/cm). Improved stability in reducing atmosphere was further confirmed by dilatometry measurements showing reduced isothermal “chemical” expansion, and the isothermal expansion in reducing atmosphere ( pO2 = 10 − 17 atm) at 900 °C decreased from 0.07% for Y 0.8Ca 0.2CrO 3 ± δ to 0.03% for Y 0.8Ca 0.2Cr 0.85Ni 0.15O 3 ± δ. Based on these results, enhanced electrical performance and mechanical integrity is expected with nickel substitution on calcium-doped yttrium chromite in SOFC operating conditions. 相似文献

The perovskite BaCe (0.9 ? x)Zr xY 0.1O (3 ? δ) has been prepared by solid state reaction at 1400 °C and conventional sintering at 1700 °C. Water uptake experiments performed between 400 and 600 °C, at a water vapour pressure of 0.02 atm, provide data on the concentration of protons incorporated in the sample . The direct current conductivity has been measured as a function of oxygen partial pressure, at a water vapour partial pressure of 0.015 atm. The total conductivity has been resolved into a p-type and an ionic component using a fitting procedure appropriate to the assumed defect model. An estimation of the protonic component was made by assuming a conductivity isotope effect between 1.4 and 1.8. The total conductivity, obtained using impedance spectroscopy has been measured as a function of temperature in the water and heavy water exchanged states. The activation energy has been found to be 0.56 eV to 0.59 eV in the water exchanged state with values 0.03 to 0.04 eV higher in the heavy water exchanged state. Impedance spectra measured at 200 °C showed a reduction in grain boundary resistivity with increasing cerium content. The stability of the compounds to carbon dioxide has been studied by thermogravimetry. 相似文献
