Abstract The sinters of co-doped ceria solid solutions with the formula of Ce0.85Sm0.15-x RxO1.9, where R = Y, Gd, Pr, Tb, Ox-0.15, were obtained from powders synthesised by Pechini method. The linear variation of cell parameter a vs. chemical composition was observed for Ce0.85Sm0:15-xRxO1.9, where R = Y, Gd, Tb, 0 <x<0.15 samples. However, the introduction of Pr3+ into Ce0.85Sm0.15-x PrxO1.9 caused a small deviation from linearity due to possible changes in the valence from Pr3+ to Pr4+. The determined values of oxide transference number tion for Ce0.85Sm0.15-xRxO1.9, R = Y, Gd in the temperature range 400-750°C and partial oxygen pressure from 10-6 to 1 atm were close to 1, which indicated that materials investigated exhibited practically pure ionic oxide conductivity. On the other hand, the introduction of Tb3+ or Pr3+ higher than x>0.05 into solid solution Ce0.85Sm0.15-xRxO1.9, R = Tb, Pr caused a decrease in the ionic transference number tion below 1 due to an increase in partial electronic conduction. This fact limiting investigated co-doped terbia and samaria or samaria and praseodymia ceria-based solid solutions for the further application as oxide electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells. The analysis of bulk and grain boundary values indicated that partial substitution of Sm3+ by Y3+ or Gd3+ caused slight improvements in the ionic conductivity of Ce0.85Sm0.15-xRxO1.9. The highest ionic conductivity was found for solid solution with chemical composition Ce0.85Sm0.1Y0.05O1.9. The selected co-doped ceria samples were tested as solid electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells operating in the intermediate temperature range 500-750°C.

Abstract The steady state demixing of an initially homogeneous oxide solid solution (A, B)O in an oxygen potential field is studied theoretically and experimentally.In case that DA > DB ≫ D0, the crystal is shifted with respect to the oxide lattice system toward the higher oxygen potential and is enriched in A at the side of the higher oxygen potential, while the transport of oxygen in the crystal is negligible. A numerical solution of the transport problem is presented, and the predicted effect is verified experimentally

Solar H2 production by the two-step water splitting process with thermochemical reaction has been proposed to convert solar energy into chemical energy. We succeeded in repeating the cyclic two-step water splitting process composed of the O2-releasing and H2-generation reactions with metal (Fe, Ni) doped ceria. The metal doped ceria with low content of metal ion (Fe3+, Ni2+) formed a solid solution with fluorite-type structure between ceria (CeO2) and metal oxide (Fe2O3, NiO). The empirical formula of the solid solution was Ce1-αMαO2−δ (M = Fe, Ni), and it was assumed that the high reactivity on the two-step water splitting process was due to an oxygen deficiency in the solid solution. The metal doped ceria with different Ce:M mole ratio (Ce:M = 0.97:0.03–0.7:0.3) was prepared through the combustion method. The two-step water-splitting process with metal doped ceria proceeded at 1673K for the O2-releasing reaction and at 1273K for the H2-generation reaction by irradiation of an infrared imaging lamp for a solar simulator. The amounts of H2 gas evolved in the H2-generation reaction with Fe-doped ceria and Ni-doped ceria with different Ce:M (M = Fe, Ni) mole ratio were 0.97–1.8 and 1.7–2.5 cm3/g, respectively, and the evolved H2/O2 ratios were approximately equaled to 2 of the stoichiometric value. The amounts of H2 and O2 gases evolved in the two-step water splitting process varied with the Ce:M mole ratio in the metal doped ceria. It was suggested that the O2-releasing and H2-generation reactions with metal doped ceria was repeated with the reduction and oxidation of Ce4+-Ce3+ enhanced by the presence of Fe or Ni ions. Furthermore, the O2-releasing reaction with Ni-doped ceria proceeded under a high O2 partial pressure atmosphere (pO2 = 0.05 atm) and at the temperature of 1773K. The progress of the O2-releasing reaction under a high pO2 indicates that metal doped ceria can be applicable for the rotary-type solar reactor developed by Tokyo Tech group for solar H2 production.
