Composition-Dependent Electrical Conductivity of Ionic-Electronic Composite
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTComposition. dependence of electrical conductivity of ionic-electronic composite was camined using yttria(8mol%) stabilized zirconia-NiO composites. The contributions of ectronic and ionic charge carriers to the electrical conductivity were determined by Hebb-Vagner polarization technique and electromotive force measurement of galvanic cell. Up to 6 sol% NiO addition, the conductivity decreased since the electronic NiO acted as an insulator in onic matrix. However the ionic transport was dominant until NiO content reaches 26 vol%. Mixed conduction was observed between 26 and 68 vol% of NiO. The effects of composition on he electrical properties were explained by the microstructure and thus by the distribution of two hases.
