Abstract
An ionic conductor, Ba beta-alumina, was synthesized in a BaO-MgO-Al2O 3, ternary system by solid state sintering at 2023 to 2073 K. The Ba b eta-alumina with a composition of BaO :MgO :Al2O3=1 : 1 : 5 was in a s ingle phase. Its relative density was 96% of the theoretical density. The electrical conductivity of Ba beta-alumina was 4.6 x 10(-3) S.m(-1 ) at 1673 K and the activation energy was 126.82 kJ.mol(-1). The mobil e ion could be Ba2+ and its ionic transport number was about 0.8 to 0. 9 at 1073 to 1673 K.
