Abstract: | By undertaking AC electrochemical impedance experiments on yttria stabilised zirconia electrolytes with polished Y1Ba2Cu3O7−x electrodes, the activation energy for oxygen ion transport within the bulk of Y1Ba2Cu3O7−x, in air, over the temperature range 823 K–1043 K, was determined to be 1.50 ± 0.05 eV. At 1000 K the oxygen ionic conductivity was calculated to be around one order of magnitude lower than that in yttria stabilised zirconia. Typical calculated values were σ=5×10−5 (ω cm)−1 and 6×10−3 (ω cm)−1 at the respective temperatures 823 K and 1043 K. By employing a similar cell but with Y1Ba2Cu3O7−x paste electrodes, oxygen transfer between the Y1Ba2Cu3O7−x and the electrolyte was found to occur via a surface diffusional processes. Over the temperature range 873 K–1098 K, in air, the activation energy for in-diffusion at the surface was found to be 1.4±0.1 eV and that for out-diffusion at the surface to be 1.76±0.05 eV. |
