Özet
In this study, the ceramic powders of Ce1-xGdxO 2-x/2 and Ce1-xNdxO2-x/2 (x=0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.25) were synthesized by ultrasound assisted co-precipitation method. The ionic conductivity was studied as a function of dopant concentration over the temperature range of 300-800 °C in air, using the impedance spectroscopy. The maximum ionic conductivity, σ 800 °C=4.01×10-2 Scm-1 with the activation energy, Ea=0.828 kJmol-1 and σ 800 °C=3.80×10-2 Scm-1 with the activation energy, Ea=0.838 kJmol-1 were obtained for Ce0.90Gd0.10O1.95 and Ce0.85Nd 0.15O1.925 electrolytes, respectively. The average grain size was found to be in the range of 0.3-0.6 μm for gadolinium doped ceria and 0.2-0.4 μm for neodymium doped ceria. The uniformly fine crystallite sizes (average 12-13 nm) of the ultrasound assisted prepared powders enabled sintering of the samples into highly dense (over 95%) ceramic pellets at 1200 °C (5 °C min-1) for 6 h. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
