Proton Conducting Electrolytes Synthesized with Diammonium Hydrogen Phosphate

Article Preview

Abstract:

Proton conducting ZrO2-yP2O5 (y = 1.0, 1.2, 1.4. 1.6, 1.8) electrolytes based on a shell-core structure were synthesized with diammonium hydrogen phosphate by a solid state reaction, and their conductivities were investigated by ac-impedance spectroscopy. Among the ZrO2-yP2O5 compositions, ZrO2-1.6P2O5 showed the highest proton conductivity of 0.13 Scm-1 at 250°C. The conductivity increased with increasing P2O5 molar ratio and were significantly influenced by heat-treatments in the preparation process. Polytetraflouroethylene (PTFE) was also mixed into these electrolytes in order to improve the mechanical strength and long term durability.
