Artigo IPEN-doc 28882 Phase transformation/stabilization and ionic conductivity in tantalum oxide co‑doped zirconia‑scandia solid electrolyte2022 - SOUZA, J.P.; FUJIMOTO, T.G.; BATISTA, R.M.; STEIL, M.C.; MUCCILLO, R.; MUCCILLO, E.N.S.The influence of small amounts of tantalum oxide as co-dopant on phase transformation and stabilization, microstructure and ionic conductivity of zirconia-10 mol% scandia is reported in this work. Cylindrical pellets were prepared by solid state synthesis with sintering at 1500 °C for 5 h. High relative density values (> 95%) were achieved. Reduction of the enthalpy for the cubic ⇌β-rhombohedral phase transformation was found for increasing amounts of the co-dopant. Full stabilization of the cubic structure at room temperature was obtained with only 0.45 mol% tantalum oxide addition. The ionic conductivity of sintered specimens was investigated as a function of the temperature and oxygen partial pressure by impedance spectroscopy. The fully stabilized co-doped system revealed a pure ionic conduction behavior up to 800 °C with wide electrolytic domain. In the 700–800 °C range, the ionic conductivity of co-doped specimens is similar to that of pure zirconia-scandia.Artigo IPEN-doc 24711 Analysis of the sintering process in gadolinia-doped ceria by thermodilatometry and correlation with microstructure evolution2018 - BATISTA, RAFAEL M.; MUCCILLO, E.N.S.The non-isothermal sintering process of cerium dioxide containing gadolinium sesquioxide powders within a wide range of specific surface area was investigated by dilatometry. Linear shrinkage data of powder compacts were recorded under several constant rates of heating. Dilatometry data were analyzed by two methodologies enabling to preview the relative density for any temperature/time profile, and determination of the apparent activation energy for sintering. Correlation of dilatometry results with microstructure evolution was also carried out. Remarkable differences in sintering powders with different specific surface areas were found. The apparent activation energy for sintering increases with decreasing specific surface area and, in most cases, it does not change significantly in the approximately 70-85% range of relative density.
