AbstractSSZ-based ceramics were obtained by sintering of nanopowders derived at room temperature by mechanochemical synthesis from refined technical grade ZrO2 nano-precursors. RT-treatment by 2.5 MeV electrons up to 1563 K was used for the modification of ceramics. Powders and ceramics were characterized by XRD, Raman, SEM and EDS, TEM, SIMS techniques. The phase composition of Zr0.89Sc0.1Ce0.01O1.95 ceramics was very close to cubic structure but better fitting of XRD patterns was obtained for rhombohedral lattice. Conductivity of solid electrolytes for IT SOFC was studied by complex impedance method. To stabilize cubic structure and increase conductivity at operation temperature of To ∼ 1000 K, the composition of SSZ solid electrolyte was optimized by addition of yttria and sintering aids. The interaction of admixtures with minor dopants leading to intergrain phase was revealed. During fast sintering, ceramics keep a memory about inhomogeneous disordered solid solutions in a form of nanostructuring. Conductivity data indicate nanostructuring of ceramics too: activation energies of bulk and grain boundary conductivities are close (Eb ∼ 0.9 eV, Egb ∼ 1.05 eV). Annealing of ceramics at high temperatures increases conductivity at To and promotes grain growth.

ABSTRACTMetastable CaSn2F6 has been prepared for the first time and characterized. It is a well crystalline material that leaches SnF2 in water to give the microcrystalline fluorite-type Ca1-xSnxF2 solid solution. In both materials, tin(II) is covalently bonded to fluorine, and thus carries a stereoactive non-bonding electronic pair. The electrical conductivity of CaSn2F6 was measured by the complex impedance method. The CaSn2F6 material was found to be a mixed conductor (τi = 0.50), with a F- conductivity a little below that of α-SnF2. On heating to 250°C, it decomposes irreversibly to give SnF2 and probably amorphous CaF2 (undetected).

Input Perturbation

Impedance spectroscopy is known as an important technique used for describing the electrical processes occurring in a system on applying an ac signal as input perturbation. In the present paper results of a study of BiNbO4 ceramics fabricated by mixed oxide method and sintered by free sintering are reported. Results on the ac response of the electroceramic samples by impedance spectroscopy at temperature T= 100 – 400 °C are given. The usual representation (i.e. Z” vs. Z’ where Z’ and Z” are the real and imaginary parts of the complex impedance, respectively) as well as the alternative representations of the impedance measurement (electrical modulus representation) was used to interpret the impedance spectra of BiNbO4 ceramics in order to obtain separate contributions of the bulk, grain boundary and electrode processes. The Kramers-Kronig data validation test was employed in the impedance data analysis. Experimental data of impedance spectroscopy were fitted to the corresponding equivalent circuit using the complex non-linear least squares method. Agreement between experimental and simulated data was established.

Complex Impedance Spectra

Mixed-potential-type NO2 sensor based on yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) with NiO sensing electrode was prepared by the screen-printing technique and its physical characteristics were studied by the X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The response of electromotive force (EMF) and complex impedance of the sensor were tested under different NO2 concentrations and temperatures. The results show that, at the range of 550–750 °C, the EMF values are negative and almost linear to the logarithm of NO2 concentration. But the sensitivity of the sensor and the amplitude of the EMF response to NO2 concentration both obviously decrease with the increase of the work temperature. In addition, the semicircular arcs of the complex impedance spectra shrink regularly with a raise of NO2 concentration at 600 °C.
