Abstract

Oxide ion electrolytes are used in sensors, oxygen pumps, and-potentially-high temperature electrolysis and fuel cells. However, their range of application is limited by too low an oxide ion conductivity below 800°C in the electrolytes now available commercially. The paper outlines a strategy for the identification of improved materials. Preliminary studies have identified inexpensive oxides readily prepared by conventional ceramic techniques that promise acceptable performance at temperatures as low as 400 °C. They are compared with the Bi4V1.8Cu0.2O10.7 oxide conductor developed at Lille. The mechanisms of oxide ion conduction for the different compounds are discussed.
