Abstract: | The investigation of the influence of copper and iron oxides on the electrical conductivity, the lattice defects and the structure of calcia-stabilized zirconia has shown that (i) the influence of copper is negligible due to the evaporation of this element at the sintering temperature as a consequence of its high volatility; (ii) the presence of iron in the sample prevents sintering of the calcia-stabilized zirconia; (iii) the addition of iron causes decomposition of the cubic solid solution CaxZr1?xO2?x into monoclinic ZrO2, the vacant phase Ca0.1Zr0.9O1.9, calcium ferrite and iron oxides; the solubility limit of iron oxide was found to be ≈1 mol%; (iv) the calcia-stabilized zirconia doped with iron is a mixed conductor at low temperatures; at high temperatures (>1073 K) it is a dominant ionic conductor. |
