Structural and conductivity studies in LiFeP 2 O 7 , LiScP 2 O 7 , and NaScP 2 O 7
2000
Structural studies of LiScP2O7 by Rietveld refinement confirm that this material is isostructural with LiFeP2O7 studied previously. However, NaScP2O7 shows a structure different from the structural types of the basic group of NaIMIIIP2O7 known thus far. Systematic ranges for the six structural types of AIMIIIP2O7 are presented in terms of ion radii sums and ratios. The framework of LiMP2O7 (M=Sc, Fe) has rather wide tunnels running along the crystallographic c-axis. This feature has determined our interest to check the ion conductivity in AIMIIIP2O7 (A=Li, Na; M=Sc, Fe). The bulk conductivity, however, is low in these compounds, 10−6–10−7 S/cm at 300 °C, as determined by impedance spectrosc…
Conductivities and silver electrode polarization resistance of solid electrolyte ceramics from ZrO 2 -Y 2 O 3 powder synthesized in air plasma
1998
Ceramic specimens have been obtained from the powder of ZrO2-7.5 mol% Y2O3 having a specific surface area of 30 m2/g synthesized in air plasma. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that the plasma process makes it possible to prepare so-called nanopowders with a particle size less than 100 nm, possessing specific physical, chemical and technological properties. The sintered density of the specimens was 94–96% of the theoretical value, 6.001 g/cm3. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the specimens corresponded to a face-centered cubic lattice. Impedance in the frequency range of 100 Hz–15 MHz and d.c. polarization curves in a potential range of −10 to 10 mV were measured in the tempera…
