In this article, the structure and electrical properties of BaSn 0.15 Ce 0.35 Hf 0.25 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 Ho 0.05 O 3-δ (referred as BSCHYYbHo in forthcoming discuss) high-entropy ceramic have been investigated. The BCHYYb (short for BaCe 0.5 Hf 0.3 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3-δ ) and BSCHYYbHo pellets were synthesized successfully by the solid-state reaction method. The XRD detection results indicate that there is no secondary phase appeared in BSCHYYbHo and the lattice constant decrease compared to BCHYYb. The surface SEM and EDS images illustrates that BSCHYYbHo is denser than BCHYYb and the elements distribution is more uniform. The DFT calculation proves that BSCHYYbHo has a tend to maintain single phase structure. The electrical properties of BSCHYYbHo is obtained by the DRT analysis and equivalent circuit method based on defect equilibria model. The total conductivity of BSCHYYbHo is about 2.02 × 10 -4 ∼1.01 × 10 -2 S·cm -1 and standard molar hydration enthalpy of BSCHYYbHo is recorded as − 81.8 kJ/mol. Further, the proton, oxygen vacancies and electron holes conductivity activation energies in BSCHYYbHo is estimated to be 0.45 eV, 1.41 eV and 1.60 eV, respectively. Compared to BCHYYb, BSCHYYbHo electrolyte has higher proton concentration and proton transference number. Overall, BSCHYYbHo ceramic with dense structure and high proton transference number is a potential material for application.
The effects of bromine (Br) addition on electrical properties and chemical stability of Gd-doped barium cerate proton-conducting electrolyte were investigated. BaCe 0.8 Gd 0.2 O 2.8±δ Br 0.2 (BCGBr) and BaCe 0.8 Gd 0.2 O 3-α (BCG) powders with CuO as sintering aid were obtained via a solid-state reaction. The results of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) confirm that only trace amounts of Br are present in BCGBr after high temperature sintering at 1600 °C, indicating that Br addition influences stoichiometry but not directly the physicochemical properties. Nevertheless, the XRD results from the treated BCGBr and BCG electrolyte pellets show that the chemical stability of BCGBr in water and/or CO 2 -containing atmospheres is conspicuously improved. The conductivities of electrolyte sintered at 1600 °C for 10 h were investigated in various atmospheres by AC impedance technique. The total conductivity ( σ t o t ) of BCGBr under wet Ar is lower than that of BCG. Partial-conductivities components ((proton ( σ OH O · ), oxygen ion ( σ V O · · ), and hole ( σ h · )) are presented for BCGBr according to the defect structure model. The results show that the proton conductivity of BCGBr remains nearly constant over the 550–750 °C temperature range. Although σ t o t of Br-synthesized sample slightly decreases, the BCGBr exhibits a high σ OH O · (0.058 S cm −1 at 750 °C) under pH 2 O = 0.038 atm and pO 2 = 1 atm. P-type and oxygen ion conduction are dominant in an oxidative atmosphere (pO 2 = 1 atm) at 650 °C. Under low oxygen conditions (pO 2 = 10 −4 atm), BCGBr shows the behavior of mixed conduction (oxygen ions ( V O · · ) and protons ( OH O · )). Besides, the main carriers in BCGBr oxide change from OH O · to V O · · as temperature increased.
