Structure Analysis of Beta-alumina Synthesized by Solid State Reaction

The crystal structure of a solid electrolyte, beta-Al2O3, was investigated by XRD analysis and demonstrated by Diamond software. Its chemical formula was verified by the Ag ion molten salt exchange method and X-ray fluorescence analysis(XRF). The chemical formula of β-Al2O3 is Na2O·8.52Al2O3, and its crystal is of hexagonal, space group P63/mmc, with a = 5.5941  and c = 22.5300 . The chemical formula of β'-Al2 O is Na2O·6.03Al2O3, and its crystal is of trigonal, space group R 3 m, with a = 5.6017 and c = 33.6219 . The maximum span in the sodion migration of β'-phase(2.4283 ) is only about a third of that for the β'-phase(6.9037 ), so the β'-phase has higher ionic conductivity than the β-phase.     

低温燃烧法制备掺杂NiO的Beta-Al_2O_3固体电解质

以Li_2O为稳定剂,柠檬酸(CA)为络合剂,采用溶胶-凝胶低温燃烧法制备掺杂Ni O的Beta-Al_2O_3固体电解质.通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、热重/差热(TG/DSC)分析及抗弯强度、体积密度和交流阻抗测试研究了固体电解质的结构与性能.结果表明,当NiO的含量(质量分数)达到0.10%时,Beta-Al_2O_3固体电解质的形貌致密,β″相含量达到88.33%,相对体积密度为99.75%,抗弯强度为248 MPa,350℃下的电导率为0.108 S/cm.
