Determination of the ionic transport numbers of lanthanum gallate materials by impedance spectroscopy and modified EMF method

A combination of impedance spectroscopy and a modified electromotive force method (emf) were used to evaluate the ionic transport numbers and the overall conductivity of several doped lanthanum gallate materials, i.e. La0.9Sr0.1Ga1-xMgxO3-δ (x=0.05-0.30), La0.9A0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O3-δ (A=Sr, Ba and Ca) an...

Description
Summary:A combination of impedance spectroscopy and a modified electromotive force method (emf) were used to evaluate the ionic transport numbers and the overall conductivity of several doped lanthanum gallate materials, i.e. La0.9Sr0.1Ga1-xMgxO3-δ (x=0.05-0.30), La0.9A0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O3-δ (A=Sr, Ba and Ca) and La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2-yCoyO3-δ (y=0.015 and 0.045). La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O2.85 (LSGM) sample showed the maximum ionic transport number in the temperature range 900-1173 K, around 0.99 in both O2/air and H2/air gradients.<br><br>La conductividad total y los números de transporte iónico de las composiciones, basadas en el galato de lantano, La0,9Sr0,1Ga1-xMgxO3-δ (x=0,05-0,30), La0,9A0,1Ga0,8Mg0,2O3-δ (A=Sr, Ba, Ca) y La0,9Sr0,1Ga0,8Mg0,2-yCoyO3-δ (y=0.015; 0,045) fueron estudiadas mediante una combinación de técnicas de espectroscopia de impedancia compleja y fuerza electromotriz (fem). La composición La0,9Sr0,1Ga0,8Mg0,2O2,85 (LSGM) presenta el mayor número de transporte iónico, concretamente 0,99 en el rango de temperaturas 900-1173 K, tanto en gradiente de O2/aire como de H2/aire.
