Özet

Face–centered cubic Bi2O3 (δ–phase) is known as a high ion conductivity solid electrolyte system with anion defect oxygen sublattice. This metastable phase (729 °C–825 °C), if stabilized, can be an ideal solid electrolyte candidate for low temperature SOFC units. In this study, different stoichiometric ratios of Dy–Er co–doped Bi2O3 solid electrolytes were synthesized by solid state reactions and the effects of heat treatment temperature on the phase structure and ion conductivity of the fabricated compositions were investigated. The XRD analyses performed at room temperature showed that the minor peaks indicating the mixed phase on the diffraction pattern disappeared with the gradual increase in heat treatment temperature. In addition, composition 4E4DSB maintained the mixed phase structure despite different heat treatment temperatures, while the other samples were stabilized with high ion conductivity cubic δ–phase. The temperature dependent DTA curves revealed an endothermic peak at approximately 600 °C belonging to composition 8E4DSB only. Considering the temperature at which this peak occurred, this endothermal peak can be attributed to the order–disorder transition occurring only in the oxygen sublattice. The temperature dependent conductivity curves clearly showed that higher calcination temperature (>750 °C) is more effective in achieving higher ionic conductivity. Also, the temperature dependent Arrhenius curves showed that the conductivity changed linearly indicating that it was ionic in character. The FE–SEM images of the fabricated compositions showed that the pore density increased at low temperature calcinations (<700 °C), while denser materials were synthesized at higher temperatures. The EDAX pattern of the compositions revealed that all elements were present in the mixture without any impurity atoms.
