Solid-state synthesis and characterization of Ca-substituted YAlO3 as electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cells

The effect of Pr co-doping on the densification and electrical properties of Sr-LaAlO3

“…Thus, new electrolyte materials for SOFCs operating at low temperatures have been investigated extensively and perovskite-type materials are considered promising materials for electrolytes. These materials offer several advantages, including a stable crystal structure, a variety of elements that can be accommodated in the crystal lattice, and the relatively simple creation of oxygen vacancies by partial substitution of A-and/or B-site cations by lower valence cations [3][4][5][6] . In perovskite-based materials, anion migration occurs through the vacancy mechanism.…”

First-Principles Study on Structure and Stability of YAP Crystal

“…For instance, orthorhombic YAP crystals doped with rare-earth ions are potential candidates of better laser materials than Y 3 Al 5 O 12 (YAG) crystal and sparklers for radiation detection, as well as other applications [9][10][11][12]; cubic YAP crystals with perovskite structure are used for preparing transparent ceramics thin film with better transparency in a wide spectral range, high heat conductivity and hardness [1,13], also used as electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cells [2]. Many groups reported their research works and presented significant information about electronic structures [8,10,14], electrical conductivity [2,15], absorption spectra [3,[16][17][18], color centers [5,16,17], energy transfer [18,19], luminescence [5,6,[19][20][21], electron paramagnetic resonance [22], thermal diffusivity [7]. etc.…”
