Unveiling conductive properties of La2Zr2O7 for solid oxide fuel cell applications
Pyrochlore-type rare-earth ceramics (A2B2O7) are promising candidates for energy storage and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) applications owing to their exceptional oxygen ion conductivity and low-loss energy storage capabilities. In this study, gadolinium (Gd)-doped lanthanum zirconates (La2−xGdxZr2O7) were synthesized via the WOWS (water–oil-water surfactant-assisted) sol–gel method to systematically investigate the effects of Gd3+ substitution on structural, electrical, and dielectric properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed a doping-induced phase transition from pyrochlore (Py, space group Fd3m) to fluorite (F, Fm3m) symmetry, accompanied by a reduction in crystallite size (49 nm → 23 nm) and lattice constant (10.85 Å → 10.44 Å), confirming significant structural distortion.
Dielectric properties were modeled using a non-linear modified Debye function, revealing frequency-dependent dispersion consistent with Maxwell-Wagner interfacial polarization. Enhanced phase stability and conductivity at elevated temperatures (≥400 °C) underscore the potential of Gd-doped La2Zr2O7 as an electrolyte material for intermediate-temperature SOFCs.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
