采用固相法合成了Sn0.9Mg0.1P2O7用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)测试方法对样品进行了表征.粉末XRD结果表明,该样品为单一立方相SnP2O7结构.采用多种电化学方法研究了样品在中温范围内(323—523K)质子和氧离子导电性.样品在湿润氢气气氛中423K下,电导率达到最大值(5.04×10-2S·cm-1).该样品在氢气气氛中的离子、质子、氧离子和电子迁移数(N1)分别为0.95—1.00、0.84—0.96、0.04-0.10和0.00-0.05,该样品在氢气气氛中几乎是一个纯离子导体,其中,质子导电为主,同时具有一定的氧离子导电和少量的电子导电.以该样品为燃料电池固体电解质,组装氢气,空气燃料电池,在398、423和448K时最大输出功率密度分别为18.7、27.7和33.9mW·cm-2.
Sn0.9Mg0.1P2O7was synthesized in a solid state reaction and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD pattern indicated that the sample exhibited a single cubic phase. The protonic and oxide-ionic conduction were investigated using various electrochemical methods including AC impedance spectroscopy and gas concentration cells at intermediate temperatures (323-523 K). The highest conductivity observed was 5.04x 10-2 S-cm-1 in a wet H2 atmosphere at 423 K. The ionic, protonic, oxide-ionic, and electronic transport numbers (N,) were 0.95-1.00, 0.84-0.96, 0.04-0.10, 0.00-0.05, respectively, in a wet hydrogen atmosphere. The results indicate thatSn0.9Mg0.1P2O7 is an almost pure ionic conductor, has dominant protonic conduction, some limited oxide-ionic conduction, but little electronic conduction. A H2/air fuel cell using Sn0.9Mg0.1P2O7as the electrolyte (thickness: 1.5 mm) generated maximum power densities of 18.7 mW.cm-2 at 398 K, 27.7 mW. cm-2 at 423 K. and 33.9 mW. cm-2 at 448 K.
