| Abstract Scope |
Ion conductors can be classified into one species, single-phase and multi-phase mixed ion conductors. One species ion conductors have been significantly studied. The main difficulty in tuning a single-phase class of conductors is the inter-dependency of the ions' transport and influence of one on the other species. In single-phase, mixed ion conductor systems, the thermodynamic properties of the whole system, such as operating temperature, chemical potential, and atmosphere composition, will affect the total conductivity. Here we used a method to synthesize, characterize, and electrochemically study a two-phase composite sodium β’’-Al2O3/10Sc1CeZr, oxygen and sodium ion conductors to tackle the complicity of the optimization and modification of the designed electrochemical system for multi-ion conductors. Since two phases constitute a contiguous composite, the ion transport properties are independent of other species; while electrochemical neutrality is globally and thermodynamic equilibrium is locally achieved. |
