Description

Modified ZrO2Preparation method of base solid composite electrolyte ceramic material
Technical Field
The invention relates toThe technical field of solid electrolyte ceramic material preparation, in particular to modified ZrO2A preparation method of a base solid composite electrolyte ceramic material.
Background
The essence of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) is to convert chemical energy that is difficult to use or very inefficient to use in Fuel into electrical energy that can be conveniently used by people. The interior of the solid fuel cell is formed by connecting a large number of small cells. Each of the small cells is constructed by a cathode, an anode, a separator and an electrolyte, and a connector. In a solid oxide fuel cell, the most important is the electrolyte, which is mostly made of oxide ceramics, which generally have excellent electrical properties. In SOFCs, the electrolyte is very important because it serves as a channel connecting the electrodes to allow conduction of electrons between them, and therefore the requirements for the electrolyte ceramic materials of SOFCs are very strict.
The general working process of the solid fuel cell is that firstly, fuel enters from the anode, reacts at the anode, releases energy, is converted into current, and provides electric energy for external electronic components, and what is used for carrying electronic communication inside is electrolyte. Oxygen enters from the cathode to provide oxygen ions. Since electrons are exchanged through the electrolyte inside, the conductivity of the electrolyte is required to be high.
Monoclinic ZrO2Tetragonal ZrO without conductivity2The electrical conductivity is very low, so that doped cubic ZrO is generally used2As an electrolyte material. Numerous studies have shown that: through the direction of ZrO2Doped with some divalent or trivalent alkaline earth metal oxides (e.g. CaO, MgO, Y)2O3、Sc2O3、Yb2O3、CeO2) Etc. to form cubic phase solid solution, and substituting trivalent or divalent rare earth ions for Zr4+So that the alloy is cubic from room temperature to high temperature, and oxygen vacancy is increased to improve the oxygen ion conductivity of the alloy.
In general, zirconia-based electrolytes are expected to be the most commercially valuableA high temperature oxide fuel cell. ZrO in general2The base solid electrolyte material operates at a relatively high temperature (typically around 1000 c), and at 1000 c, its electrical conductivity is high, but it also has problems such as slow decomposition of the material, interphase diffusion, corrosion of the metal connection material, and the like. In addition, O at about 800 deg.C2-The conductivity is still low compared to other types of solid electrolyte materials. In order to increase the conductivity of the material, researchers have never been stopped, they have been working on ZrO2The doping modification aspect of (a) has been studied in large numbers and has achieved a number of results. Research results show that the addition of some dopants can greatly improve the conductivity of the zirconia base.
ZrO preparation by adopting traditional high-temperature solid phase method2-CeO2-CuO composite materials, which generally need to be sintered at a temperature above 1500 ℃, are liable to cause volatilization of CuO components in the raw materials, resulting in ZrO2Or precipitation of other foreign phases, it is difficult to obtain a pure phase and the composition becomes difficult to control. The invention adopts an ultrasonic-assisted sol-gel method to prepare ZrO2The sol-gel method based solid composite electrolyte ceramic material is widely used due to simple and convenient operation, uniform and smaller particle size of the obtained powder, good performance, easy operation in the experimental process and good repeatability.

1. X-ray diffraction analysis
The diffraction patterns generated by crystals with different atomic arrangements are generally different, and the diffraction geometry and intensity are two aspects of measuring a series of information such as crystal structures, and the information such as lattice structures, unit cell sizes and shapes related to the crystals can be calculated from the diffraction geometries and intensities.
According to the diffraction conditions, the bragg formula is utilized: the lattice constant of the sample can be calculated from the measured specific wavelength λ by using 2dsin θ ═ n λ.
FIG. 1 is (ZrO) obtained in example 12)0.89(CeO2)x(CuO)0.11-xXRD pattern of electrolyte powder material. From FIG. 1, it is apparent that the three strong peaks correspond to the crystal plane indexes (011), (020) and (121). The other weaker diffraction peaks correspond to the crystal face indexes (110), (111), (200), (002) and the like. And when CeO2When the doping amount of (A) is 0 mol%, 2 mol% or 4 mol%, the diffraction pattern of the component and ZrO2The monoclinic structure PDF #37-1484 is relatively good, the majority of the crystal phase of the material is monoclinic zirconia, and the minority of the crystal phase of the material is tetragonal zirconia, which indicates that CeO2The doping amount is 0 or less, and when the doping amount of CuO is large, a small amount of stabilized zirconia is generated. The ZrO2The composite material is mainly monoclinic phase ZrO2. When CeO is present2At doping levels of 6 mol% and 8 mol%, the crystal structure is mainly tetragonal phase and cubic phase, accompanied by CeO2The monoclinic phase gradually disappears when the doping amount is increased, and when the doping amount is 10 mol%, the diffraction pattern is corresponding to the square structure PDF #50-1089 card well, and ZrO is2-CeO2The phase structure of the-CuO composite is mainly tetragonal phase and secondly cubic phase, which indicates that Ce is in the form of a cubic phase4+And Cu2+Has been mostly incorporated into ZrO2In the crystal structure, a solid solution was formed, and the tetragonal system could be stably maintained at room temperature, which indicates that Cu2+Synergistic Ce4+Plays a role in stabilizing ZrO2The function of (1).
Pure cubic phase is ion-conductive, has very high conductivity, but has poor mechanical strength and is easy to crack in high-temperature sintering; whereas pure tetragonal phase has high mechanical strength but low electrical conductivity. Thus, if the electrolyte crystal structure can possess both cubic and tetragonal phases, good conductivity and mechanical properties can be combined.

in the formula, D: grain radius (nm); k: scherrer constant (0.89); λ: the wavelength of X-rays (λ 0.154056 nm); θ: diffraction angle; beta: corresponding to the full width at half maximum of the diffraction peak. The resulting grain radius data is shown in table 1:

2. Density measurement
The porosity was measured by the archimedes drainage method. The calculation formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0001782141000000051
in the formula: m is0Dry weight, m1The weight in hanging (mass of the sample suspended in water after saturation), m2Wet weight (mass of sample after saturation by water absorption), p is porosity. The calculation results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2 summary of porosity for each sample of doping ratio
Figure BDA0001782141000000052
From the porosity data, the relative density of the 1350 ℃ sintered sample is only partially greater than 95%, which may be caused by the following factors: firstly, errors exist in observation by using a pH test paper in the pH adjusting process, so that the sizes of particles prepared by a sol-gel method are inconsistent, further the sintering density is influenced, secondly, some components are insufficiently ground in the granulating process, and finally, the density is different due to uneven temperature caused by different positions in a hearth of a high-temperature furnace where a sample is located in the sintering process. For electrolytes, higher densification is more beneficial for improved electrical performance because asymmetric pores may alter the transport mechanism of oxygen ions and reduce conductivity.
3. Infrared testing
The intensity of infrared is a qualitative and temporal quantitative identification of the presence of a chemical substance or functional group, and its stress, strain, crystallinity and heterogeneity can also be known from the absorption peak width and transition point.
FIG. 2 is an infrared spectrum of xerogel powder with different doping ratios. 3436cm when x is 0.00, 0.02, 0.08, 0.10-1、1618cm-1、1396cm-1、1093cm-1、920cm-1、860cm-1、685cm-1There is a distinct characteristic absorption peak at the location. When x is 0.04, 0.06, the infrared test curve tends to be smooth. In addition, the wavelength is 1400-2400 cm-1The wider curve in between, which may be a problem due to improper use of the test machine.
In the absorption peak on the graph, at 3436cm-1The absorption peak at this point is broad, and it is known that this is contraction vibration of O-H associated with hydrogen bonds. The reason for this absorption peak may be the following: firstly, the sample also has a certain amount of crystal water; and secondly, water in the surrounding environment enters the sample when the sample is prepared for testing. Thirdly, hydroxyl groups should be present in the added ethylene glycol. 1618cm-1And COO-The antisymmetric stretching vibration peak of the vibration plate corresponds to the antisymmetric stretching vibration peak of the vibration plate. NO- 3The antisymmetric telescopic vibration peak of (1) corresponds to 1396cm-1Here, the presence of this characteristic peak demonstrates the presence of NO3 -In a gel, 1093cm-1Probably due to the stretching vibration peak of C-O. 920cm-1Is a characteristic absorption peak of C-O-C, and the existence of the characteristic peak indicates that the esterification reaction exists in the process of forming the gel. 860cm-1、 685cm-1、534cm-1The absorption peak present at a position can be attributed to O-M (where M may be Ce)4+、Cu2+、Zr4+) The characteristic peak of stretching vibration, free COOH, is also not shown in the figure, indicating that the doped ions and complexing agent are completely bound.
4. Thermal analysis
Thermogravimetry (TG) is a technique for detecting the change of the mass of a substance to be measured with time or temperature at a programmed temperature. The differential scanning calorimetry method is used for researching the relationship between the heat flow difference and the temperature between the object to be tested and the reference object, and can be embodied by the heat absorption rate or the heat release rate at any moment.
FIG. 3 is (ZrO)2)0.89(CeO2)0.10(CuO)0.01And (3) a TG-DSC thermal analysis curve of the xerogel, wherein the test condition is nitrogen atmosphere, and the heating rate is set to be 10 ℃/min. From FIG. 3, the reaction process is divided into three stages: from 25 ℃ to 180 ℃ is the first weight loss stage, with a weight loss of about 12%. According to experimental analysis, the dry gel precursor is mainly caused by moisture and partial evaporation of organic matters. The second weight loss stage is 180-500 deg.c, and it can be seen that the TG curve has descending trend from fast to slow and the weight loss of the sample is about 38%. The DSC curve of the second stage shows an exothermic peak at T-250 ℃ and T-375 ℃, which is probably caused by the oxidation-reduction reaction exothermicity of organic matters, nitrates or metal ions in the system under the heating environment of the precursor. The final third stage, i.e. after 480 ℃ the sample tended to be constant weight, about 50%, and the final phase was known to form and tended to stabilize.
5. Electrical Performance testing
The AC impedance spectrum is used to measure the impedance of the battery and the perturbation frequency.
The impedance analyzer used in the laboratory mainly measures the relation between impedance and frequency, total resistance of the sample is analyzed by Zsimpwin impedance analysis software, and the conductivity of the sample can be obtained through formula calculation. The calculation formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0001782141000000061
in the formula, σ: electrical conductivity; l: the thickness of the sample; s: cross-sectional area of the sample.
The conductivity and temperature conform to the arrhenius theory and satisfy the following formula:
Figure BDA0001782141000000062
wherein A is a characteristic constant; t is absolute temperature; ea is activation energy; r is gas constant.
5.1 spectrum of AC impedance
FIG. 4 shows (ZrO)2)0.89(CeO2)0.1(CuO)0.01The impedance spectrum of the electrolyte sample is obtained at different temperatures, and the test is carried out in an air atmosphere. The figure shows 4 impedance spectra at different temperatures, and it can be seen that the impedance spectra at 500 ℃ and 600 ℃ contain 3 arcs with different frequencies, which correspond to the grain resistance, the grain boundary resistance and the electrode interface resistance. The core of EIS is to distinguish the processes of different speeds during the electrochemical reaction by a change in frequency, the high frequency region being associated with the grain boundaries of the electrolyte, and the resistance at intermediate frequencies possibly being due to the dissociation resistance of oxygen ions and the charge transfer at the interface. At low frequencies, where the electrochemical reaction is the slowest, mainly due to diffusion processes. In addition, as the temperature increases to 700 ℃ to 800 ℃, the arc shrinks and the polarization resistance disappears, leaving only the grain boundary resistance in this range.
5.2 conductivity at different temperatures
The total resistance of the electrolyte (total resistance-grain resistance + grain boundary resistance) can be measured by an electrochemical impedance analyzer, the measured temperature range is 400-800 ℃, and the data can be analyzed by zsimwin software to obtain the following table 3:
TABLE 3 (ZrO)2)0.89(CeO2)0.1(CuO)0.01Analysis of electrical property data
Figure BDA0001782141000000071
From the above table, the number of increases in conductivity with temperature of the other components can be calculatedAccording to the summary, as shown in fig. 5, which is obtained by Origin mapping, the conductivity of the whole system shows an increasing trend with the temperature, and as can be seen from the impedance spectrum, as the temperature increases, the resistance of crystal grains and grain boundaries is continuously reduced, the oxygen ion moving rate is accelerated, and thus the conductivity is continuously increased. The conductivity of the 800 ℃ zirconia ceria composite sample was highest, about 0.0067S-cm when x was 0.10-1As a whole, with Ce4+The doping amount of the material is increased, and the conductivity of the material is slightly improved.
The relationship between the conductivity and the temperature satisfies an arrhenius curve, and the expression thereof is as follows:
Figure BDA0001782141000000072
in the formula, σ0: pre-finger factor, K: boltzmann constant, Ea: activation energy.
FIG. 6 is an Arrhenius plot of temperature and conductivity for samples of different compositions. As shown in fig. 6, the slope of the graph indicates that as the temperature increases, the curve increases almost linearly and has no sharp turning point, and the conductivity increases due to Cu2+Or Ce4+Substituted for Zr4+Charge compensation is generated to form oxygen vacancies in the unit cell, increasing the pathway for oxygen ion diffusion. In addition, the curves in all doping ratios are relatively close, which indicates that the influence of the doping ratio on the conduction mechanism is not significant, wherein the sample with the doping ratio x equal to 0.10 has the highest conductivity of 0.0067S-cm at 800 DEG C-1The lowest activation energy is 1.24eV, and the specific data are shown in table 4:

FIGS. 7a and b show the (ZrO) grains sintered at 1350 degrees under different magnifications2)0.89(CeO2)0.1(CuO)0.01The microscopic surface appearance of the samples is shown as a group of samples with better density and conductivity. The figure shows that the clear gaps among the grains are clear, a large number of gaps exist due to complete connection among the grains, the grain boundary is wide, the grains of the sample are small, most of the sintered body is polygonal isometric crystal composition, and the grain size is uniform. And agglomeration phenomenon occurs in part. Fig. 7c and d are SEM pictures of fracture of sintered green body under different magnifications, from which it can be seen that the trace left by the powder particles merging and growing into grains during the high-temperature sintering process. Because the grains and grain boundaries play an important role in controlling the conduction behavior in the electrolyte material system; further, the pores have an important influence on the transport of oxygen ions, and it is known from the operation principle of the electrolyte material that the transport ability of oxygen ions affects the conductivity of the material. However, as can be seen from the above analysis, the sintering temperature should be further increased to make the sample denser to increase the electrical conductivity of the composite.
