Structure Evolution and Reactivity of the Sc(2–x)VxO3+δ (0 ≤ x ≤ 2.0) System
2018
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are solid-state electrochemical devices that directly convert chemical energy of fuels into electricity with high efficiency. Because of their fuel flexibility, low emissions, high conversion efficiency, no moving parts, and quiet operation, they are considered as a promising energy conversion technology for low carbon future needs. Solid-state oxide and proton conducting electrolytes play a crucial role in improving the performance and market acceptability of SOFCs. Defect fluorite phases are some of the most promising fast oxide ion conductors for use as electrolytes in SOFCs. We report the synthesis, structure, phase diagram, and high-temperature reactivity of the Sc(2–x)VxO3+δ (0 ≤ x ≤ 2.00) oxide defect model system. For all Sc(2–x)VxO3.0 phases with x ≤ 1.08 phase-pure bixbyite-type structures are found, whereas for x ≥ 1.68 phase-pure corundum structures are reported, with a miscibility gap found for 1.08 < x < 1.68. Structural details obtained from the simultaneous R...
