The particle size of doped tungsten and distribution of scandia and rhenium were studied by SEM, EDS, XRD and granularity analysis. Experimental results showed that scandia distributed evenly on the surface of tungsten particles. Addition of scandia and rhenium decreased the particle size of doped tungsten, and the more the content of scandia and rhenium, the smaller the doped tungsten particles. Tungsten powders doped with 3 % Sc2O3 and 3 % Re （mass fraction） had an average size of about 80 nm in diameter. The mechanism of the decrease in the tungsten particle size was discussed.展开更多

The crystalline and aggregated particle sizes were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Raman, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. Weakly agglomerated and well crystallized ScSZ powder was prepared by microwave-heating to 150 ℃ and 2.5 h. The structure of the ScSZ powder changed from a tetragonal to a cubic phase, and accordingly, the powder conductivity was increased from 90.55 to 120.56 ms/cm by the introduction of the mineralizer solutions （KOH＋K2CO3） during the microwave-hydrothermal processing.展开更多

In this paper, the optimum process parameters were investigated. The pH of the reaction solution directly impacted the precursor structure, which further affected the obtained crystal forming. Many experiment methods of thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy (Raman), and nitrogen adsorption were employed to characterize the ScSZ powder. The structure transition mechanism from cubic to rhombohedral was discussed. In addition, the electrical conductivity of the powders was also studied after dry-pressing and calcining. The results showed that the structure of ScSZ with complete crystal surface belonged to the cubic phase. The crystallite sizes of the powders prepared are about 60–80 nm, meet the conditions of (D90–D10)/2D50≤1, and ex-hibited the good flow properties. The electrical conductivity was more than 190 mS/cm in air measured at 850 oC.展开更多
Homogeneous (ZrO_2)_(0.92)(Sc_2O_3)_(0.08) solid solution in fluorite cubic structure was prepared from the gels with altered molar ratios of citric acid (CA) to metal ions (M) and ethylene glycol (EG) via a polymeriz...Homogeneous (ZrO_2)_(0.92)(Sc_2O_3)_(0.08) solid solution in fluorite cubic structure was prepared from the gels with altered molar ratios of citric acid (CA) to metal ions (M) and ethylene glycol (EG) via a polymerization route (Pechini method). Due to the enhanced chemical homogeneity (high level of mixing of metal ions and ligands) in the polymeric gels, Sc-doped zirconia can be crystallized at temperatures as low as 400 ℃. During the evolution from amorphous gel to the crystallized (ZrO_2)_(0.92)(Sc_2O_3)_(0.08) fine powder, the bonding nature between carboxylate groups and Zr/Sc cations changed: unidentate→bridging→ionic upon calcination. The molar ratios of CA/M (1～4) and CA/EG (0.2～4) were demonstrated to affect the thermal behavior of the gels and thus the particle properties of the derived nanoparticulate oxide powders (including particle size and surface area). The as-sintered sample compacted from the nanosized powders prepared by calcining the gel with the highest content of organics (CA/M=4 and CA/EG=0.2) exhibited the best sinterability and the highest oxide ion conductivity.展开更多

Flame-sprayed Al2O3-Ni cermet coating plays dual roles of a support tube and an anode current collector. 4.5mol.% yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and 10mol.% scandia-stabilized zirconia (ScSZ) coatings were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) as the electrolyte in present study. The electrical conductivity of electrolyte was measured using DC method. The post treatment was employed using nitrate solution infiltration to densify APS electrolyte layer for improvement of gas permeability. The electrical conductivity of electrolyte and the performance of single cell were investigated to optimize SOFC performance. The electrical conductivity of the as-sprayed YSZ and ScSZ coating is about 0.03 and 0.07 S·cm-1 at 1000 ℃, respectively. The ohmic polarization significantly influences the performance of SOFC. The maximum output power density at 1000 ℃ increases from 0.47 to 0.76 W·cm-2 as the YSZ electrolyte thickness reduces from 100 μm to 40 μm. Using APS ScSZ coating of about 40 μm as the electrolyte, the test cell presents a maximum power output density of over 0.89 W·cm-2 at 1000 ℃.展开更多
