The classical (over 100 years) oxygen ion conductor and theory for solid oxide fuel cells
(SOFCs) have met critical challenges, which are caused by the electrolyte material, the heart …

The development of highly conductive and thermally stable solid electrolytes is crucial for
the next generation of intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). This study …

Nanostructured materials have attracted growing interest for use in many different
applications because many of their properties are enhanced compared to those of bulk …

A variant of the sol–gel technique known as cation complexation is used to prepare a
nanocrystalline Gd0. 1Ce0. 9O1. 95 (GDC) solid solution. A range of techniques including …

Hybrid Monte Carlo–molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to study defect
distributions near Σ5 (310)/[001] pure tilt grain boundaries (GBs) in nanocrystalline yttria …

The novel core–shell nanostructured SDC/Na2CO3 composite has been demonstrated as a
promising electrolyte material for low-temperature SOFCs. However, as a nanostructured …

The study explored the effect of incorporating niobia (Nb 2 O 5) at 1, 3, and 5 wt percent into
8 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ), made through a mechanochemical process. Niobia …

To reduce the fabrication cost and avoid unfavorable reactions between components of solid
oxide fuel cells, it is necessary to improve the sinterability of the electrolyte materials …

In this paper, we report the synthesis, structure, and electrical conductivity of a novel series
of Mo and rare earth (RE= Y, Sm, Gd)-doped compounds of the nominal chemical formula of …

Abstract Dense samples of Ce 0.9 Gd 0.1 O 2− δ with grain sizes in the range 91–252 nm
were prepared and their electrical properties studied by impedance spectroscopy. It was …
