摘要: Abstract In the present study, we have investigated effect of La3+, Pr3+, and Sm3+ triple-doping on structural, electrical, thermal properties ceria (Ce1–x(Lax/3Prx/3Smx/3)O2-δ). X-ray diffraction studies confirm formation samples with single-phase cubic-fluorite structure (JCPDS PDF File No: 34-0394). The lattice parameter values increases increasing dopant concentration (from 5.4190 A to 5.4503 A), shows that dopants get totally dissolved into Cerium site. All prepared were sintered at 1300 °C for 4 h. relative densities found be higher than 95% high value is observed composition LPS8 i.e. 97.8%. calculated crystalline size in range 46 53 nm. Scanning electron microscope energy dispersive spectroscopic techniques reveal surface-microstructure presence elemental confirmation compositions. average grain between 231 366 nm. Raman spectroscopy study reveals existence oxygen vacancies all compositions estimated composition. impedance revealed total ionic conductivity activation energies Ce0.76La0.08Pr0.08Sm0.08O2-δ (LPS8) displays highest 0.043 S/cm low 0.76 eV. Matched expansion coefficient sample already existing electrode materials, makes it as an effective electrolyte material intermediate temperature–solid oxide fuel cell applications.
