    Influence of yttria-stabilized zirconia on microstructure and electrical properties of doped lanthanum gallate
    2019 - FUJIMOTO, TALITA G.; REIS, SHIRLEY L.; MUCCILLO, ELIANA N. dos S.
    Lanthanum gallate with partial substitutions for strontium and magnesium shows higher ionic conductivity than traditional ionic conductors such as yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ), and has been considered for application as solid electrolyte and electrode in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells operating at intermediate temperatures (500-700ºC). Parallel to the development of new solid electrolytes, improvement of the already known electrolytes has been one goal. In this work, the effects of adding 8YSZ to La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O3-δ (LSGM), on the microstructure and electrical performance were investigated. Compound electrolytes consisting of up to 20 wt.% 8YSZ were prepared by solid state reactions. Sintered pellets with up to 10 wt.% 8YSZ achieved near full density after sintering at 1450ºC and reduction in the fraction of impurity phases. Addition of 8YSZ promoted grain growth to LSGM. The higher ionic conductivity was obtained for 1 wt.% 8YSZ addition with slight decrease of the apparent activation energy.

    Effect of Pr on microstructure and dielectric properties of SrTiO3
    2018 - FUJIMOTO, TALITA G.; MUCCILLO, ELIANA N. dos S.
    Polycrystalline ceramics based on strontium titanate (SrTiO3) have attracted great attention in recent years due to their interesting dielectric properties, e.g. high electric permittivity and low dielectric loss. SrTiO3 has many applications in electronic devices, sensors, actuators, fuel cells, among others. Recently, the effects of dopants on the dielectric properties of SrTiO3 have been investigated. Lui et al. [1] were the first to report a giant electric permittivity in Sr0.09Pr0.01TiO3 (> 3,000) at room temperature. In this work, the effect of Pr (0.025, 0.05 and 0.075% mol Pr) on the microstructure and dielectric properties of SrTiO3 was studied in detail. Samples were characterized by density measurement, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and impedance spectroscopy. The results show that sintered samples at 1500 ºC/6 h exhibit high densities (> 96% of the theoretical value), independent on the additive content. The average grain size of SrTiO3 increases slightly with Pr addition. Specimens containing 0.075% mol Pr show high giant permittivity (about 30,000) at 540 ºC.

    Ionic conductivity of Sr- and Mg-doped lanthanum gallate with La1.55Sr0.55Ga3O7+delta addition
    2018 - FUJIMOTO, T.G.; MUCCILLO, E.N.S.; CARVALHO, L.A.
    Sr- and Mg-doped lanthanum gallates are solid electrolytes with ionic conductivity higher than that of the traditional yttria-stabilized zirconia. Moreover, doped lanthanum gallates exhibit wide electrolytic domain and good chemical stability. The combination of their properties turns this compound a promising candidate for application in solid oxide fuel cells operating at intermediate temperatures (550-750°C). In this work, small amounts of La1.55Sr0.55Ga3O7+δ was added to doped lanthanum gallate and the effects of the additive on electrical properties of the base material were investigated by the impedance spectroscopy technique. The X-ray diffraction patterns of sintered specimens show the characteristic reflections of the perovskite-type phase, along with low-intensity diffraction peaks of the commonly detected impurity phases. The impedance spectroscopy diagrams reveal the high-frequency arc due to the bulk resistivity besides a strong overlap of the grain boundary arc with that of the electrode. The grain resistivity decreases for increasing amounts of La1.55Sr0.55Ga3O7+δ.
