Abstract:
The effect of the content of CuO additive on the sinterability, phase composition, microstructure, and electrical properties of BaCe$_{0.5}$Zr$_{0.3}$Y$_{0.2}$O$_{3-\delta}$ proton-conducting material is studied. Ceramic samples were produced by the citrate–nitrate synthesis method with the addition of 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 1% CuO. It is shown that the relative density of the samples containing 0.5 and 1% CuO is higher than 94% at a sintering temperature of 1450°C, whereas the relative density of the material is no higher than 85% at a lower content of the sintering additive. From the data of X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy, it is established that the introduction of a small CuO content (0.25%) is inadequate for single-phase and high-dense ceramics to be formed. The conductivity and scanning electron microscopy data show that the sample with BaCe$_{0.5}$Zr$_{0.3}$Y$_{0.2}$O$_{3-\delta}$ + 0.5% CuO composition possesses high total and ionic conductivities as well as a high degree of microstructural stability after hydrogen reduction of the ceramics. The citrate–nitrate method modified by the introduction of a small CuO content can be recommended for the production of single-phase, gas-tight, and high-conductivity electrolytes based on both BaCeO$_{3}$ and BaZrO$_{3}$.
