Abstract:

In this paper, Cu-doped lanthanum silicate electrolyte (La9.33Si6-xCuxO26-x) precursor was synthesized by urea-nitrate combustion method using La2O3, CuO and TEOS as raw materials. The as-prepared precursor was lighted at 600 °C and sintered at 800 °C. The sintered powder samples were grinded and mixed absolutely by ball milled. Finally, we preformed and sintered powder samples to synthesis Cu-doped lanthanum silicate ceramics. Ac impedance method and analysis was used to test conductivity of as-prepared electrolyte, investigated the influence of balling time, sintering temperature and doping content on conductivity property of LSO sintered product. The final result shows that best balling time is 3 h, secondary sintering temperature is 1500 °C and the doping content is 0.3. Under this condition, the conductivity of Cu-doped lanthanum silicate electrolyte could reach 7.28×10-3 s/cm at 700 °C.
