摘要：
This work presents the synthesis and characterizations of a stable and well-sinterable proton conductor BaCe0.35Zr0.50Y0.15O3-δ in which a transition of conductivity occurred steeply from the order of 10-3 to 10-2 S cm-1 and activation energy changed from 0.35 to 0.22 eV in the temperature range from 350 to 400 °C, due to the dissociation of protons from the dopant-proton defect pairs. The anode composite Ni-BaCe0.35 Zr0.50Y0.15O3-δ (40:60 vol%) prepared by liquid condensation process showed comparatively very high electrical conductivity than the existing solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anodes, in the temperature range of 350-800 °C. Fabrication (by screen printing and co-firing processes), performance and post-mortem analysis of anode-supported protonic SOFC cell using these materials are discussed elaborately. © 2014 The Author(s).
