Enhancing grain boundary ionic conductivity in mixed ionic–electronic conductors

Mixed ionic-electronic conductors are widely used in devices for energy conversion and storage. Grain boundaries in these materials have nanoscale spatial dimensions, which can generate substantial resistance to ionic transport due to dopant segregation. Here, we report the concept of targeted phase formation in a Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-δ-CoFe2O4 composite that serves to enhance the grain boundary ionic ...

Test of universal scaling of ac conductivity in ionic conductors

Electrical relaxation data of crystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia are used to analyze the permittivity change observed in the spectra of the real part of the permittivity in ionic conducting materials. It is found that this permittivity change is independent of both temperature and mobile-ion concentration, and it is determined solely by the degree of interaction among ions in the relaxation...

Distributions of Charged Defects in Mixed Ionic - Electronic Conductors

General analytical solutions to transport equations are presented for a mixed ionic-electronic conductor (MIEC) subject to various electrical and chemical conditions at the surfaces. The derived general expressions can be used to predict the steady-state distributions of defects and electrical potential within the MIEC as a function of an external stimulus for transport: an electric field, a gr...

Non Linear Modeling of Mixed Ionic Electronic Conductors

Mixed ionic electronic conductors are currently of great interest for SOFC applications. For example, ceria-containing anodes can be operated directly on hydrocarbons without coking, and in addition can be used at lower temperatures than Ni/YSZ (see Trovarelli (1)). In order to design, optimize, and characterize MIEC electrodes, it is very useful to have models to aid in interpreting experiment...
