Highly dense and chemically stable proton conducting electrolyte sintered at 1200 °C

Rietveld analysis confirms that BaCe0.7Zr0.1Y0.2−xZnxO3−δ (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) crystallized in the orthorhombic symmetry after sintering at 1200 °C which are highly dense and good protonic conductors. Insert shows the schematic 3D diagram (left) and high density SEM profile (right).299
