アノード用材料として、実施例1(1)で得られた粉末プロトン伝導体Aを用いた。前記粉末プロトン伝導体Aと酸化ニッケル(NiO)とを、適量のイソプロパノールとともにボールミルで混合した。得られた混合物を乾燥させ、アノード用粉末を得た。このとき、粉末プロトン伝導体AとNiOとを粉末プロトン伝導体A/NiO(質量比)が30/70となるように混合した。
固体電解質として、実施例1(1)で得られた粉末プロトン伝導体Aを用いた。前記粉末プロトン伝導体Aと、エチルセルロース(バインダ、エトキシ化度約49%)と、αテルピネオール(溶媒)とを混合して、固体電解質用ペーストを調製した。粉末プロトン伝導体A、バインダおよび溶媒の混合比(質量比)は、粉末プロトン伝導体A/バインダ/溶媒=50/2/48とした。
実施例1(2)で得られたアノード用粉末を一軸成形して、円盤状のペレット(直径11mm)を形成した。得られたペレットを1000℃で焼成(仮焼成)した。仮焼成後のペレットの一方の主面に、実施例1(3)で得られた固体電解質用ペーストをスピンコートにより塗布して、塗膜を形成した。前記塗膜を有するペレットを600℃で10時間加熱することにより脱バインダ処理を行った。次いで、得られたペレットを1500℃(第3焼成温度)で10時間焼成(本焼成)し、固体電解質層-アノード接合体A(以下、単に、「接合体A」ともいう)を得た。接合体Aの厚みは約1.4mmであり、固体電解質層の厚みは10μmであった。
第1焼成温度を1500℃にしたことを除き、実施例1と同様の操作を行い、粉末プロトン伝導体Bを作製した。得られた粉末プロトン伝導体Bの二次粒子の90体積%以上が、100nm~300nmの粒子径を有していた。得られた粉末プロトン伝導体Bについて、前述の方法に従って標準偏差σを算出した。その結果、粉末プロトン伝導体Bの標準偏差σは、0.0114であった。また、得られた粉末プロトン伝導体Bを構成する金属酸化物の結晶中から水分を除去した。水分除去後の粉末プロトン伝導体BのX線回折を調べ、格子定数を求めた。図4に分析結果を示す。図4に示された結果から、粉末プロトン伝導体Bの格子定数は、4.220以上、4.225以下の範囲にあることがわかる。これらの結果から、粉末プロトン伝導体Bの格子定数は、炭酸バリウム、酸化ジルコニウムおよび酸化イットリウムの仕込み量から算出される仕込み組成と同じ組成を有するペロブスカイト化合物の理論的な格子定数とほぼ一致するため、粉末プロトン伝導体Bは、原子組成比のばらつきが少なく、所望のペロブスカイト構造を有することが推察される。
炭酸バリウムと、酸化ジルコニウムと、酸化イットリウムとを、式(3)におけるaが0.98、式(3)におけるbが0.8、式(3)におけるcが0.2になるモル比となるように混合したことを除き、実施例1と同様の操作を行い、粉末プロトン伝導体Cを作製した。粉末プロトン伝導体Cの標準偏差σは、0.0165であった。得られた粉末プロトン伝導体Cの二次粒子の90体積%以上が、100nm~300nmの粒子径を有していた。得られた粉末プロトン伝導体Cを構成する金属酸化物の結晶中から水分を除去した。水分除去後の粉末プロトン伝導体CのX線回折を調べ、格子定数を求めた。図4に分析結果を示す。図4に示された結果から、粉末プロトン伝導体Cの格子定数は、4.200以上、4.220未満の範囲にあることがわかる。これらの結果から、粉末プロトン伝導体Cの格子定数は、炭酸バリウム、酸化ジルコニウムおよび酸化イットリウムの仕込み量から算出される仕込み組成と同じ組成を有するペロブスカイト化合物の理論的な格子定数とほぼ一致するため、粉末プロトン伝導体Cは、原子組成比のばらつきが少なく、所望のペロブスカイト構造を有することが推察される。
炭酸バリウムと、酸化ジルコニウムと、酸化イットリウムとを、式(3)における全原子数に対するBaの数の割合aが0.95になるモル比となるように混合したことを除き、実施例1と同様の操作を行い、粉末プロトン伝導体Dを作製した。粉末プロトン伝導体Dの標準偏差σは、0.0366であった。得られた粉末プロトン伝導体Dの二次粒子の90体積%以上が、100nm~300nmの粒子径を有していた。得られた粉末プロトン伝導体Dを構成する金属酸化物の結晶中から水分を除去した。水分除去後の粉末プロトン伝導体DのX線回折を調べ、格子定数を求めた。図4に分析結果を示す。図4に示された結果から、粉末プロトン伝導体Dの格子定数は、4.200以上、4.220未満の範囲にあることがわかる。これらの結果から、粉末プロトン伝導体Dの格子定数は、炭酸バリウム、酸化ジルコニウムおよび酸化イットリウムの仕込み量から算出される仕込み組成と同じ組成を有するペロブスカイト化合物の理論的な格子定数とほぼ一致するため、粉末プロトン伝導体Dは、原子組成比のばらつきが少なく、所望のペロブスカイト構造を有することが推察される。
第1焼成温度を1300℃にしたことを除き、実施例1と同様の操作を行い、粉末プロトン伝導体aおよび固体電解質層-アノード接合体a(以下、単に、「接合体a」ともいう)を作製した。得られた粉末プロトン伝導体aについて、前述の方法に従って標準偏差σを算出した。粉末プロトン伝導体aの標準偏差σは、0.0631であった。また、粉末プロトン伝導体aを構成する金属酸化物の結晶中から水分を除去した。水分除去後の粉末プロトン伝導体aのX線回折を調べ、格子定数を求めた。図4に分析結果を示す。図4に示された結果から、プロトン伝導体aの格子定数は、4.195~4.2の範囲にあることがわかる。これらの結果から、粉末プロトン伝導体aの格子定数の範囲が実施例1~4で得られた粉末プロトン伝導体の格子定数の範囲から外れているため、粉末プロトン伝導体aは、原子組成比のばらつきが大きいことが推察される。
実施例1で得られた粉末プロトン伝導体AとNiOとを粉末プロトン伝導体A/NiO(質量比)が3/7になるように混合した。得られた混合物を乾燥させ、アノード用粉末を得た。得られたアノード用粉末を一軸成形して、円盤状のペレットA(直径11mm)を得た。次いで、得られたペレットAを表1に示される第3焼成温度(800~1600℃の範囲内の温度)でそれぞれ10時間焼成(本焼成)し、アノードA1~A9を作製した。すなわち、固体電解質層を形成せずに、表1に示される第3焼成温度でペレットAをそれぞれ焼成して、アノードA1~A9を得た。得られたペレットAおよびアノードA1~A9それぞれのX線回折を調べた。その後、X線回折(XRD)の結果をリートベルト法により解析し、BaZrO3相、NiOおよび副生成物(BaY2NiO5、Y2O3)を定量した。結果を表1に示す。
実施例3で得られた粉末プロトン伝導体CとNiOとを粉末プロトン伝導体C/NiO(質量比)が1/2となるように混合したことを除き、作製例1と同様の操作を行い、ペレットCおよびアノードC1~C9を得た。得られたペレットCおよびアノードC1~C9のX線回折を調べた。その後、X線回折(XRD)の結果をリートベルト法により解析し、BaZrO3相、NiOおよび副生成物(BaY2NiO5、Y2O3)を定量した。結果を表2に示す。
実施例4で得られた粉末プロトン伝導体DとNiOとを粉末プロトン伝導体D/NiO(質量比)が1/2となるように混合したことを除き、作製例1と同様の操作を行い、ペレットDおよびアノードD1~D9を得た。得られたペレットDおよびアノードD1~D9のX線回折を調べた。その後、X線回折(XRD)の結果をリートベルト法により解析し、BaZrO3相、NiOおよび副生成物(BaY2NiO5、Y2O3)を定量した。結果を表3に示す。
比較例1で得られた粉末プロトン伝導体aとNiOとを粉末プロトン伝導体a/NiO(質量比)が3/7となるように混合したことを除き、作製例1と同様の操作を行い、ペレットaおよびアノードa1~a9を得た。得られたペレットaおよびアノードa1~a9のX線回折を調べた。その後、X線回折(XRD)の結果をリートベルト法により解析し、BaZrO3相、NiOおよび副生成物(BaY2NiO5、Y2O3)を定量した。結果を表4に示す。
