Synthesis and ionic conductivity of mechanically synthesized yttrium-doped ceria solid solutions

Doped ceria is considered the most promising high-conducting electrolyte, alternative to the commercially used yttria-stabilized zirconia. The ceria fluorite structure is very tolerant to dissolution of lower valent metal ions. The present employed mechanical method, introduces comparison of mechani...

description Doped ceria is considered the most promising high-conducting electrolyte, alternative to the commercially used yttria-stabilized zirconia. The ceria fluorite structure is very tolerant to dissolution of lower valent metal ions. The present employed mechanical method, introduces comparison of mechanical-synthesized yttrium-doped ceria system, denoted as Ce1-xYxO2-δ (0.05≤x≤0.4), which were successfully synthesized by both conventional solid-state and mechanochemical methods. In mechanochemical reaction, fine-grained powders with uniform grain size distribution were obtained. X-ray diffraction analysis showed all solid solutions were single phase with cubic fluorite structure. The electrical conductivity of sintered samples of calcium doped ceria compounds were investigated in air as a function of temperature using AC impedance spectroscopy. Impedance data showed that yttrium-doped ceria electrolyte is a good ionic conductor with conductivity as high as 10-3 ohm cm-1. Further characterization using Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were carried out.
