AbstractPowder compositions in the series Lat-xAxCo1-yFeyO3-δ (A=Sr, Ca) have been prepared by a combustion synthesis method. Sintering of pressed powders produced high-density test specimens with the perovskite structure. The specimens exhibited high electrical conductivities with appreciable oxygen-ion conductivity that increased with Co content for the compositions studied. Oxygen permeation studies showed a significant flux of oxygen that increased with temperature for specimens in a P(O2) gradient with no applied field. Thermogravimetric studies of the Lat-xCo0.2Fe0.8O3-δ system indicated a reversible mass loss with increasing temperature that increased with Sr content.

In this work, the mechanochemical synthesis method was used for the first time to produce powders of the nanocrystalline Nd1.1Fe10CoTi compound from Nd2O3, Fe2O3, Co and TiO2. High-energy-milled powders were heat treated at 1000 °C for 10 min to obtain the ThMn12-type structure. Volume fraction of the 1:12 phase was found to be as high as 95.7% with 4.3% of a bcc phase also present. The nitrogenation process of the sample was carried out at 350 °C during 3, 6, 9 and 12 h using a static pressure of 80 kPa of N2. The magnetic properties Mr, µ0Hc, and (BH)max were enhanced after nitrogenation, despite finding some residual nitrogen-free 1:12 phase. The magnetic values of a nitrogenated sample after 3 h were Mr = 75 Am2 kg–1, µ0Hc = 0.500 T and (BH)max = 58 kJ·m–3. Samples were aligned under an applied field of 2 T after washing and were measured in a direction parallel to the applied field. The best value of (BH)max~114 kJ·m–3 was obtained for 3 h and the highest µ0Hc = 0.518 T for 6 h nitrogenation. SEM characterization revealed that the particles have a mean particle size around 360 nm and a rounded shape.

Depletion of fossil fuel at an alarming rate is a major concern of humankind. Consequently, researchers all over the world are putting a concerted effort for finding alternative and renewable energy. Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is one such system. SOFCs are electrochemical devices that have several advantages over conventional power generation systems like high efficiency of power generation, low emission of green house gases and the fuel flexibility. The major research focus of recent times is to reduce the operating temperature of SOFC in the range of 500 to 700 °C so as to render it commercially viable. This reduction in temperature is largely dependent on finding an electrolyte material with adequate oxygen ion conductivity at the intended operating temperature. One much material is Gadolinia doped Ceria (CGO) that shows very good oxygen ion conductivity at the intended operation temperature. The aim of this overview is to highlight the contribution that materials chemistry has made to the development of CGO as an electrolyte.

AbstractThe transport properties of the pyrochlore solid solution Gd2(ZrxTil-x)2O7 are investigated to clarify the relationships between composition, structural disorder and ionic and electronic transport. The oxygen ion conductivity has been found to increase sharply with increasing Zr content, x, due to enhanced structural disorder, leading to intrinsic ionic conduction at large values ofx. In contrast, the n—type conductivity predominant at low x, decreases sharply above x=0.2. Defect chemical models are presented to account for the simultaneous contributions of both intrinsic and dopant induced disorder. These models are applied to the σ(T, PO2, dopant) data to extract key thermodynamic and transport parameters. The significance of these parameters and the potential application of these materials in electrochemical devices are discussed.

Lanthanum silicate oxyapatite (LSO) is a promising ion conductive ceramic material, which has higher oxygen ion conductivity at intermediate temperatures (600-800?C) compared to yttria-stabilized zirconia. Its mechanical properties, though important for any of its applications, have been scarcely reported. In this study, we compare apparent densification, open porosity and Vickers hardness of samples conformed by uniaxial pressing and slip casting and fired up to 1600?C. Colloidal processing was optimized for slip casting in order to get high green densities. At sintering temperatures higher than 1400?C, both processing routes yielded comparable densities, although uniaxially pressed samples show slightly better mechanical properties, evidencing that slip cast ones already underwent a grain growth process.
