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 results indicate that the material was of a single perovskite-type orthorhombic phase. From 500℃ to 900 ℃, electronic-hole conduction was dominant in dry and wet oxygen, air or nitrogen, and the total conductivity of the material increased slightly with increasing oxygen partial pressure in the oxygen partial pressure range studied. Ionic conduction was dominant in wet hydrogen, and the total conductivity was about one or two orders of magnitude higher than that in hydrogen-free atmosphere （oxygen, air or nitrogen）展开更多

The results illustrated that isobutane conversion and isobutene yield can be enhanced through the reaction coupling in the presence of carbon dioxide. Moreover, carbon dioxide can partially eliminate carbonaceous deposition on the catalyst and keep the active phase （Cr2O3）, which are then helpful to alleviate the catalyst deactivation.展开更多

X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that the materials were perovskite-type orthorhombic single phase. By using gas concentration cell and AC impedance spectroscopy methods, the electrical conduction behavior of the materials was investigated in different gases at 500-900 °C. The influence of non-stoichiometry in the materials with x≠1 on conduction properties was studied and compared with that in the material with x=1. The results indicated that Ba1.03Ce0.8Pr0.2O3-α was a pure protonic conductor, and Ba0.98Ce0.8Pr0.2O3-α was a mixed conductor of protons and electrons in wet hydrogen at 500-900 °C. BaCe0.8Pr0.2O3-α was a pure protonic conductor in 500-600 °C, and a mixed conductor of protons and electrons above 600 °C in wet hydrogen. In 500-900 °C, they were all mixed conductors of oxide ions and electronic holes in dry air, and mixed conductors of protons, oxide ions and electronic holes in wet air. Both the protonic and oxide ionic conductivities increased with increasing barium content in the materials in wet hydrogen, dry air and wet air, respectively.展开更多

The results of characterization indicate that the grain size of this mate-rial is very small; the specific surface area is very high (192 m2/g); the distributions of pore diameter are desirable and effective; furthermore, the agglomeration problem among small particles was solved to a certain extent. The electro-chemical tests show that the electrode prepared with the Co3O4 exhibits distinct characteristic of capacitance and very high specific capacitance of 365—401 F/g. Additionally, the main attribute of capacitance, namely supercapacitance, was also testified.展开更多

Using the ceramics as solid electrolyte and porous platinum as electrodes, the hydrogen-air fuel cell was constructed, and the cell performance at temperature from 600-1000 ℃ was examined. The results indicate that the specimen was a pure protonic conductor with the protonic transport number of 1 at temperature from 600-900 ℃ in wet hydrogen, a mixed conductor of proton and electron with the protonic transport number of 0.99 at 1000 ℃. The electronic conduction could be neglected in this case, thus the total conductivity in wet hydrogen was approximately regarded as protonic conductivity. In wet air, the specimen was a mixed conductor of proton, oxide ion and electron hole. The protonic transport numbers were 0.01-0.09, and the oxide-ionic transport numbers were 0.27-0.32. The oxide ionic conductivity was increased with the increase of temperature, but the protonic conductivity displayed a maximum at 900 ℃, due to the combined increase in mobility and depletion of the carriers. The fuel cell could work stably. At 1000 ℃, the maximum short-circuit current density and power output density were 346 mA/cm^2 and 80 mW/cm^2, respectively.展开更多
