In3+, Gd3+ were selected as substitution elements for Ce4+ in order to increase electrical conductivity and chemical stability of BaCeO3. A modified sol-gel method was used to fabricate BaCe0.7In0.3-xGdxO3-δ (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) nanopowders. XRD results indicated that the diffraction angle moved to lower with increase of the Gd3 + doping concentration, so that the interplanar spacing gradually increased. The impedance spectra analysis showed that conductivity first increased (x = 0~0.2) and then decreased with the Gd3 + doping increase. The total conductivities at 800oC were 3.8 × 10-3 S·cm-1 (x = 0), 8.0 × 10-3 S· cm-1 (x = 0.1), 2.5 × 10-2 S· cm-1 (x = 0.2), 1.36 × 10-2 S ·cm-1 (x = 0.3). Chemical stability test in CO2 show that all samples except for x=0.3 sample calcination at 800oC for 2h under 100% CO2 and x=0, 0.1 samples heating in boiling water for 12h kept main perovskite structure. Therefore, x=0.1 sample show better electrical conductivity and chemical stability.

Electrochemical Characteristics of Particulate Matter The current work is dedicated to electrochemical impedance spectra analysis of the fine and coarse airborne particulate matter sampled on the glass fibre filters in Riga city air. The cyclic voltammograms, impedance spectra and double layer capacitance spectra of particulate matter were obtained after the pre-treatment of samples. The equivalent circuit method and the statistical method were used for impedance spectra analysis. Analyzing the impedance spectra, it was concluded that the impedance of both - fine and coarse particles heated in N2 flow does not change by aerosol mass concentration variations. On the other hand, the impedance of particulate matter heated in O2 flow increases, by increasing PM10 mass concentration. Describing the spectra of double layer capacitance, it was observed that the double layer capacitance of aerosols heated in N2 flow did not change, by mass concentration and size variations. However, by increasing mass concentration of coarse aerosols heated in O2 flow, the double layer capacitance reduced.

The polymer electrolyte system of methylcellulose (MC) doped with various sodium bromide (NaBr) salt concentrations is prepared in this study using the solution cast technique. FTIR and XRD were used to identify the structural changes in solid films. Sharp crystalline peaks appeared at the XRD pattern at 40 and 50 wt.% of NaBr salt. The electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) study illustrates that the loading of NaBr increases the electrolyte conductivity at room temperature. The DC conductivity of 6.71 × 10−6 S/cm is obtained for the highest conducting electrolyte. The EIS data are fitted with the electrical equivalent circuit (EEC) to determine the impedance parameters of each film. The EEC modeling helps determine the circuit elements, which is decisive from the engineering perspective. The DC conductivity tendency is further established by dielectric analysis. The EIS spectra analysis shows a decrease in bulk resistance, demonstrating free ion carriers and conductivity boost. The dielectric property and relaxation time confirmed the non-Debye behavior of the electrolyte system. An incomplete semicircle further confirms this behavior model in the Argand plot. The distribution of relaxation times is related to the presence of conducting ions in an amorphous structure. Dielectric properties are improved with the addition of NaBr salt. A high value of a dielectric constant is seen at the low frequency region.
