The conduction property of the sample was investigated by alternating current impedance spectroscopy and gas concentration cell methods under different gases atmospheres in the temperature range of 500-900 ℃. The performance of the hydrogen-air fuel cell using the sample as solid electrolyte was measured. In wet hydrogen, the sample is a pure protonic conductor with the protonic transport number of 1 in the range of 500-600 ℃, a mixed conductor of proton and electron with the protonic transport number of 0.945-0.933 above 600 ℃. In wet air, the sample is a mixed conductor of proton, oxide ion, and electronic hole. The protonic transport numbers are 0.010-0.021, and the oxide ionic transport numbers are 0.471-0.382. In hydrogen-air fuel cell, the sample is a mixed conductor of proton, oxide ion and electron, the ionic transport numbers are 0.942 0.885. The fuel cell using Ba0.98Ce0.8Tm0.2O3-α as solid electrolyte can work stably. At 900 ℃, the maximum power output density is 110,2 mW/cm2, which is higher than that of our previous cell using Ba0.98Ce0.8Tm0.2O3-α (x〈≤1, RE=Y, Eu, Ho) as solid electrolyte.展开更多

The ionic conduction of the sample was investigated using electrical methods at elevated temperatures, and the performance of the hydrogen-air fuel cell using the sample as solid electrolyte was measured, which were compared with those of BaCe0.8Ho0.2O3-α. In wet hydrogen, BaCe0.8Ho0.2O3-α almost exhibits pure protonic conduction at 600-1000℃, and its protonic transport number is 1 at 600-900 ℃ and 0.99 at 1000 ℃. Similarly, Ba0.97Ce9.8Ho0.2O3-α exhibits pure protonic conduction with the protonic transport number of 1 at 600- 700℃, but its protonic conduction is slightly lower than that of BaCe0.8Ho0.2O3-α, and the protonic transport number are 0.99-0.96 at 800-1000 ℃. In wet air, the two samples both show low protonic and oxide ionic conduction. For Ba0.97Ce0.8Ho0.2O3-α, the protonic and oxide ionic transport numbers are 0.01-0.11 and 0.30-0.31 respectively, and for BaCe0.8Ho0.2O3-α, 0.01-0.09 and 0.27-0.33 respectively. Ionic conductivities of Ba0.97Ce0.8Ho0.2O3-α are higher than those of BaCe0.8Ho0.2O3-α under wet hydrogen and wet air. The performance of the fuel cell using Ba0.97Ce0.8Ho0.2O3-α as solid electrolyte is better than that of BaCe0.8Ho0.2O3-α. At 1000 ℃, its maximum short-circuit current density and power output density are 465 mA/cm^2 and 112 mW/cm^2, respectively.展开更多

The structural characteristics and the phase purity of the crystal were determined using powder X-ray diffraction analysis. By using the methods of AC impedance spectroscopy, gas concentration cell and electrochemical pumping of hydrogen, the conductivity and ionic transport number of BaCe0.8Pr0.2O3-α were measured, and the electrical conduction behavior of the material was investigated in different gases in the temperature range of 500-900℃.

The XRD and XPS results reveal the successful partial replacement of Ti/Nb by Mn in the B site of niobate-titanate. The ionic conductivities of the Mndoped niobate-titanate are significantly improved by approximately 1 order of magnitude in reducing atmosphere and 0.5 order of magnitude in oxidizing atmosphere compared with bare niobate-titanate at 800 ℃. The current efficiency for Mn-doped niobate-titanate cathode is accordingly enhanced by ,-25% and 30% in contrast to the bare cathode with and without reducing gas flowing over the cathode under the applied voltage of 2.0 V at 800 ℃ in an oxide-ion-conducting solid oxide electrolyzer, respectively.展开更多

It is necessary to further developing environ- mentally friendly UCG system construction. One of the most important UCG's problems is underground control of combustion area for efficient gas production, estimation of subsidence and gas leakage to the surface. For this objective, laboratory experiments were conducted according to the UCG model to iden- ti[y the process of combustion cavity development by monitoring the electrical resistivity activity on the coal samples to setup fundamental data for the technology engineering to evaluate combustion area. While burning coal specimens, that had been sampled from various coal deposits, electrical resistivity was monitored. Symmetric four electrodes system (ABMN) of direct and low-frequency current electric resistance method was used for laboratory resistivity measurement of rock samples. Made research and the results suggest that front-end of electro conductivity activity during heating and combusting of coal specimen depended on heating temperature. Combusting coal electro conductivity has compli- cated multistage type of change. Electrical resistivity method is expected to be a useful geophysical tool to for evaluation of combustion volume and its migration in the coal seam.展开更多

Heating system is a vital part of MOCVD. Specific heating device and thermal control technology are needed for each new reactor design. By using resistance-wire heating MOCVD reaction chamber model, thermal analysis and structure optimization of the reactor were developed from the vertical position and the distance between coils of the resistance-wire heater. It is indicated that, within a certain range, the average temperature of the graphite susceptor varies linearly with the vertical distance of heater to susceptor, and with the changed distances between the coils; furthermore, single resistance-wire heater should be placed loosely in the internal and tightly in the external. The modulate accuracy of the temperature field approximately equals the change of the average temperature corresponding to the change of the coil position.展开更多

It is pointed out that these two topological structures respectively inhere in two-dimensional and three-dimensional topological currents, which can be derived from the same topological term n^→·(Эin^→×Эjn^→), and both these topological structures axe characterized by the φ-mapping topological numbers-Hopf indices and Brouwer degrees. Furthermore, the spatial bifurcation of vortex lines and the generation and annihilation of monopoles are also discussed. At last, we point out that the Hopf invaxiant is a proper topological invaxiant to describe the knotted solitons.展开更多

Herein, density functional theory has been used to explore a new transparent conducting material via adsorption of H on a 2D β-GaS sheet. This adsorption results in geometrical changes to the local structures around the H. The calculated electronic structures reveal metallic characteristics of the 2D α-GaS material upon H adsorption and a large optical band gap of 2.72 eV with a significant Burstein-Moss shift of 0.67 eVo The simulated electrical resistivity is as low as 10^-4 Ω.cm, comparable to the benchmark for ITO thin films.展开更多

In this paper, we demonstrate that the current-voltage characteristics can give a good unified description of the temperature, carrier density mad electric field dependence of mobility based on both the Arrhenius temperature dependence and the non-Arrhenius temperature dependence. Fu^hermore, we perform a systematic study of charge transport and electrical properties for MEH-PPV. It is shown that the boundary carrier density has an important effect on the current-voltage characteristics. Too large or too small values of boundary carrier density will lead to incorrect cur- rent-voltage characteristics. The numerically calculated carrier density is a decreasing function of the distance to the interface, and the numerically calculated electric field is an increasing function of the distance. Both the maximum of carrier density and the minimum of electric field appear near the interface.展开更多
