Proton conducting Ba(Zr0.5Ce0.4)8/9Y0.2O2.9 is employed as a potential steam electrolysis electrolyte for hydrogen production at intermediate temperature.
The in uences of In-and Y-doping on the electrical conduction properties of barium zirconate were investigated. The electrical conductivity measured on of BaZr 1−x−y In x Y y O 3−δ (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2 and y = 0, 0.1, 0.2) could be understood that yttrium doping causes high bulk conductivity and indium doping leads to lowering activation energy of the grain boundary. Co-doping of yttrium and indium promotes the enhancement effect of improving the bulk conductivity and lowering of activation energy, and it is thus expected that the co-doping with yttrium and indium can work for controlling the bulk and grain boundary conduction speci cally in the materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
