摘要
The effect of alumina additions on the ionic conductivity and mechanical properties of 3 and 8 mol% Y2O3- ZrO2 compositions has been investigated. Such materials are of interest for use in fuel cells and other similar applications. Sintered specimens were characterised by XRD, SEM, impedance spectroscopy, four - probe DC conductivity and mechanical strength measurements. Alumina additions had no affect on the conductivity degradation behaviour at 1000 degrees C and the activation energy but resulted in an increase in the strength of 8 mol% Y2O3 - ZrO2 composition by about 25%. However, a significant drop in the ionic conductivity well above what could be accounted for by the decrease in the volume fraction of the conducting phase, was observed.
