Vp. Gorelov et al., DEFECTIVE STRUCTURE, CONDUCTIVITY, AND HYDROGEN CONTENT OF YO1.5 ALLOYED WITH CAO IN A MOIST ATMOSPHERE, Russian journal of electrochemistry, 33(1), 1997, pp. 42-46
The proton sigma(H) and hole sigma(h) conductivity in solid solutions
YO1.5 + CaO (0.02-2.0 mol % CaO) is studied as a function of P-O2 and
P-H2O at 1016 degrees C. It is shown that the hydrogen concentration i
ncreases in proportion to the CaO content. It is suggested that two co
mpetitive mechanisms of the defect formation exist, which facilitate t
he hydrogen appearance and the protonic conduction in the solutions st
udied.
