摘要
Molecular dynamics simulations were utilized to determine the oxygen anion diffusivity in pure ceria (CeO2) and doped ceria MxCe1-xO2-0.5x (M=Gd, Sm and Pr) with varying level of dopant concentration from 5-30% (x - 0.05-0.3). Doping with Gd showed an improvement in oxygen anion diffusivity value by two order of magnitude (D= 4.67x10(-8) cm(2)/s at 1173 K) as compared to the undoped ceria D= 1.33x10(-10)cm(2)/s at 1173 K). 10% of doping level was estimated as the optimum concentration of all the dopants at which all of the doped ceria materials showed maximum diffusivity of oxygen anion. Among the three dopants studied. Pr was observed to show maximum diffusivity of oxygen anion in the temperature range of 773-1173 K of simulations.
