Abstract:

Doping perovskite structure ceramics constitute an important type of solid oxides fuel cell (SOFC) cathode materials. In this study, BaCe1-xTaxO3+δ powders were prepared by solid state reaction at 1500oC for 4h. BaCe1-xTaxO3+δ ceramics were pressureless sintered at 1600oC for 5h. The results indicated that the relative density of BaCe1-xTaxO3+δ ceramics reached the range of 84.15 - 90.88%. At the frequency of 1Hz, the conductivity of BaCe0.65Ta0.35O3+δ ceramic samples varied greatly, when the testing temperature rose from room temperature to 900oC in increments of 100oC. The highest conductivity was obtained at 600oC with the value of 6.74×10-5 S/cm.
