Abstract

Highly sinterable yttria-doped ceria powder (YO1.5)x (CeO2)1 − x (x = 0.1–0.33) was fabricated by an optimized coprecipitation route. Compacted bodies could be sintered to impermeability at 1200 °C and near full density at 1300 °C, among the lowest temperatures reported for doped ceria densification. Ceria diffusion is important above 1400 °C. Excellent conduction properties were observed: high ionic conductivity (6.5 S m−1 at 750 °C for Ce0.8Y0.2O1.9), low activation energy (0.7 eV) and vanishing grain-boundary resistance

Electrical resistivity and conductivity

Electrical resistivity (also called volume resistivity or specific electrical resistance) is a fundamental specific property of a material that measures its electrical resistance or how strongly it resists electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows electric current. Resistivity is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ (rho). The SI unit of electrical resistivity is the ohm-metre (Ω⋅m).

Solid oxide fuel cell

A solid oxide fuel cell (or SOFC) is an electrochemical conversion device that produces electricity directly from oxidizing a fuel. Fuel cells are characterized by their electrolyte material; the SOFC has a solid oxide or ceramic electrolyte. Advantages of this class of fuel cells include high combined heat and power efficiency, long-term stability, fuel flexibility, low emissions, and relatively low cost. The largest disadvantage is the high operating temperature which results in longer start-up times and mechanical and chemical compatibility issues.

Temperature

Temperature is a physical quantity that expresses quantitatively the perceptions of hotness and coldness. Temperature is measured with a thermometer. Thermometers are calibrated in various temperature scales that historically have relied on various reference points and thermometric substances for definition. The most common scales are the Celsius scale with the unit symbol °C (formerly called centigrade), the Fahrenheit scale (°F), and the Kelvin scale (K), the latter being used predominantly for scientific purposes.
