| Abstract | The main objective of the present work was the systematic study of several groups of materials: Gd₃₋ₓMeₓGaO₆₋₅ (Me = Ca²+, Sr²+), Ba₂Nb₁₋ₓY₁₊ₓO₆₋₅, and BaZr₀.₈₅Y₀.₁₅O₃₋₅ (BZY15) as proton conductors. We developed a synthesis route for each group of materials such as sol-gel combustion method, freeze-drying synthesis and modified citrate-EDTA complexing method. Pure nanopowders and dense ceramics were obtained after these syntheses plus a classical sintering process. The structure and composition of the obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The temperature dependences of the conductivity were investigated by impedance spectroscopy as a function of pO₂ and pH₂O. For the family of Gd₃₋ₓMeₓGaO₆₋₅ (Me = Ca²+, Sr²+), we studied the influence of dopant nature and content on the structural and electrical properties. Results indicate that the substitution possible till 10 % of doping content. According to the SEM observations, the grain size is increased with increasing dopant content. Concerning electrical properties, we found an increase of conduction with increasing dopant content. All compounds present a good stability in humid, hydrogen and CO₂ containing atmosphere. In case of Ba₂Y₁₊ₓNb₁₋ₓO₆₋₅ materials, the physico-chemical properties of synthesized materials have been characterized by the XRD and SEM techniques. The average grain size increased significantly with increasing amount of Y³⁺. Conduction properties were slightly improved with the partial substitution of niobium by yttrium. The stability of Ba₂Y₁₊ₓNb₁₋ₓO₆₋₅ compounds was investigated under different atmospheres and conditions. The ionic conduction in this case is quite low, which has been explained by futher molecular dynamics simulations. Finally, we studied the influence of an ZnO and NiO additives on the sintering of BZY15, being these sintering aids used to lower the sintering temperature. Zinc oxide as a sintering aid lowers the sintering temperature by 300 °C and slightly increases the bulk and total conductivity of BZY15. |
