The complexing process, which has successfully applied in the synthesis of nano Sm0.15Ce0.85I1.925 with crystallite size down to 5 nml, just resulted in a coarse BSCF with crystaUite size of 41.9 nm at 900℃. We applied a novel process by simply modifying the solid precursor from the complexing process with concentrated nitric acid treatment. The obtained BSCF powder had a crystaUite size of -25 nm even calcined at 1000℃. The small crystaUite size is extremely promising to enhance the electrochemical performance of cathode for solid oxide fuel cell dramatically.展开更多

The study was conducted over a wide range of operating conditions, in terms of fuel ratio and calcination temperature. The characteristics of magnesium aluminate powders were studied by differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry (DTA–TG), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The thermal stability of powders was evaluated by calcination at different temperatures. Differences of the specific surface areas were related to the composition and crystallite size. The importance of fuel ratio and calcination temperature to achieve the nano- and micro-sized oxide was discussed in detail. The fuel ratio of 0.56 and calcination at 800 ℃ provided the conditions to achieve the nano-scale magnesium aluminate powders, smaller than 20 nm. The application of presented algorithm can be an important tool for control of particle size in the nano- and micro-scale.展开更多
