BaCe0.45Zr0.45M0.1O3-delta (M=Y, In) and BaCe0.9Y0.1O3-delta were prepared through the conventional solid state reaction route. The chemical stability was investigated in hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and boiling water. Crystalline phase and microstructure of the proton conductor before and after stability test were measured with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The results showed that all materials were quite stable in H-2 atmosphere. In CO2 atmosphere, BaCe0.45Zr0.45M0.1O3-delta(M=Y, In) were relatively stable, while BaCe0.9Y0.1O3-delta decomposed. In boiling water, BaCe0.9Y0.1O3-delta was quickly decomposed into Ba(OH)(2) and corresponding oxide. BaCe0.45Zr0.45M0.1O3-delta slightly reacted with boiling water and some amorphous phases were formed. However, BaCe0.45Zr0.45In0.1O3-delta was observed to exhibit better stability than BaCe0.45Zr0.45Y0.1O3-delta in water. The experimental results were interpreted in terms of thermodynamic data and tolerance factor.
