ABSTRACTOxygen permeation through a new perovskite La0.5Sr0.5Fe0.8Ga0.2O3−δ membrane has been measured both under small (air/He) and large (air/CO, CO2) oxygen partial pressure gradients. In both cases oxygen transport is close to surface limited. By modeling the pressure dependence of the oxygen flow rate under small pressure gradient an ambipolar diffusion coefficient 9.65 × 10−7cm2/s and a surface exchange coefficient 7.15 × 10−6 cm/s at 974 °C were determined. With air/CO, CO2 on the permeate side, the permeability increases linearly with the partial pressure of CO. The observed increase is greater than the maximum enhancement predicted by our model.

Polycrystalline Ce0.77Nd0.23O1.885having a relative density in excess of 98% was prepared. Oxygen diffusion experiments were performed for the temperature range from 750 to 1100 °C, in an oxygen partial pressure of 6.6 kPa. The concentration profile of18O in the specimens following diffusion annealing was measured by secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). The oxygen self-diffusion coefficient obtained using secondary ion mass spectrometry was expressed by D = 6.31 × 10−9exp(−53 kJ mol−1/RT) m2s−1and was in the extrinsic region. The oxygen diffusion coefficient of Ce0.77Nd0.23O1.885was larger than that of Ce0.8Y0.2O1.90; it was close to those of Ce0.6Y0.4O1.80and Ce0.69Gd0.31O2−δ. The oxygen diffusion coefficient obtained by the tracer method at 700 °C agreed with that calculated from the electrical conductivity in Ce0.77Nd0.23O1.885. The activation energy of the surface exchange coefficient was 94 kJ mol−1, and the values of the surface exchange coefficient were similar to those of stoichiometric CeO2and ThO2.

AbstractLa0.5Sr0.5CoO3−δ (LSCO) can be used as a cathode material for low temperature solid oxide fuel cell applications. LSCO epitaxial thin films have been deposited on LaAlO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The transient behavior of the thin film conductivity with the pressure changes was recorded as a function of temperature and partial oxygen pressure. The surface exchange coefficient k of the LSCO thin film was obtained from analysis of the electrical conductivity relaxation data. The measured surface exchange coefficient increases with temperature and with final pressure but is not sensitive to the initial pressure. After prolonged annealing at 900°C, the k value was found to have greatly increased. The mechanism of the dependence of the measured k on pressure is discussed.

A novel two-step Isotopic Exchange (IE) technique has been developed to investigate the influence of oxygen containing components of ambient air (such as H2O and CO2) on the effective surface exchange coefficient (k*) of a common mixed ionic electronic conductor material.
