Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a mixed ionic conductor and an electrochemical device, such as a fuel cell or a gas sensor, using the same.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- The applicant has long been actively developing mixed conductors of protons and oxide ions (see for example Publication of Unexamined Japanese Patent Application (Tokkai) No. H5-28820 or H6-236114). These mixed ionic conductors are basically perovskite oxides containing barium and cerium wherein a portion of the cerium has been substituted by the substitute element M, so as to achieve a high ionic conductivity (chemical formula: BaCe1-pMpO3-α). Especially, when the substitution amount p of the substitution element M is 0.16 to 0.23, the mixed ionic conductor has a high conductivity, higher even than zirconia-based oxides (YSZ: yttrium-stabilized zirconia), which conventionally have been used as oxide ionic conductors. As the substitution element M, rare earth elements are suitable, in particular heavy rare earth elements, because of their atomic radius and charge balance.
- New fuel cells, sensors and other electrochemical devices using such materials as a solid electrolyte have been developed. The sensor characteristics and the discharge characteristics of fuel cells using such materials have been shown to be superior to prior devices. Other patent applications related to these materials are Tokkai H5-234604, Tokkai H5-290860, Tokkai H6-223857, Tokkai H6-290802, Tokkai H7-65839, Tokkai H7-136455, Tokkai H8-29390, Tokkai H8-162121, and Tokkai H8-220060.
- However, these materials show some problems with regard to their chemical stability. For example, barium tends to precipitate in CO2 gas. To solve these problems, the applicant has proposed a counter-strategy in Tokkai H8-107918. However, even this counter-strategy is not perfect, and for example at low temperatures of 85° C. and 85% humidity, precipitation can be observed in shelf tests and boiling tests in water. Moreover, under high water vapor pressures as during discharge of the fuel cells, barium can be seen to precipitate near the platinum electrodes. Furthermore, with gas sensors, there is the problem of maintaining high ion conductivity at lower temperatures over a long time and the problem of raising the acid resistance of the oxide itself.
- To solve these problems, it is an object of the present invention to improve the chemical stability of the mixed ionic conductors.
- The main cause for decomposition of the oxides due to humidity is believed to be the fact that the segregated barium turning into barium hydroxide reacts with the carbon dioxide, and forms stable barium carbonate. To increase the moisture resistance, the present invention uses a mixed ionic conductor including the following perovskite structure oxide.
- A mixed ionic conductor of one embodiment of the present invention (a first ionic conductor) includes an ion conductive oxide having a perovskite structure of the formula Baa(Ce1-bM1 b)LcO3-α, wherein

0.16≦b≦0.26;
0.01≦c≦0.1;
and
(2+b−2a)/2≦α<1.5.
- In this mixed ionic conductor it is preferable that M1 is at least one element selected from the group consisting of La, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Y and Sc. More preferably, M1 is Gd and/or Y.

0.9≦e≦1; - M2 is at least one element selected from the group consisting of trivalent rare earth elements, Bi, Ga, Sn, Sb and In;
with
0.01≦z≦0.3;
and
(2+z−2e)/2≦β<1.5. - In this mixed ionic conductor it is preferable that 0.16≦z≦0.3. It is also preferable that M2 is at least one element selected from the group consisting of trivalent rare earth elements and In, especially elements selected from the group consisting of Pr, Eu, Gd, Yb, Sc and In.
- A mixed ionic conductor of yet another embodiment of the present invention (a third ionic conductor) includes an ion conductive oxide having a perovskite structure of the formula BadZr1-x-yCexM3 yO3-γ wherein
- M3 is at least one element selected from the group consisting of trivalent rare earth elements, Bi and In;
with
0.98≦d≦1;
0.01≦x≦0.5;
0.01≦y≦0.3;
and
(2+y−2d)/2≦γ≦1.5. - In this third mixed ionic conductor, it is preferable that M3 is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Yb, Y, Sc and In. More preferably, M3 is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Gd, In, Y and Yb.
- The mixed ionic conductors of the present invention have not only the necessary conductivity for electrochemical devices such as fuel cells, but also superior moisture resistance.
- Throughout this specification, “rare earth element” means Sc, Y, and the lanthanides (elements 57La through 71Lu). In the above formulas, α, β and γ are determined by the absent amount of disproportionate oxygen.

This layered structure is attached with aninorganic adhesive 18 to a (ceramic)substrate 17, providing aspace 20 between the substrate and the layered structure. Thisspace 20 is in communication with the outside via adiffusion limiting hole 13. - When a certain voltage (for example 1.2V) is applied steadily between the two
electrodes anode 15 is attained as output. During the measurement, the sensor is kept at a certain temperature with aheater 19 attached to the substrate. To provide thediffusion limiting hole 13 is advantageous to limit the inflow of the material to be measured (here, hydrocarbons) into thespace 20. - This embodiment has been explained for a HC sensor, but an oxygen sensor is also possible by exchanging anode and cathode in the structure shown in
FIG. 2 . Furthermore, the mixed ionic conductor of the present invention is not limited the above, but also can be applied to all kinds of other electrochemical devices. - The following is a more detailed description of specific examples of the present invention. It should be noted that the present invention is in no way limited to these examples.
- As examples of the present invention, oxides as shown in Tables 1 to 6 have been synthesized. These oxides were synthesized by solid state sintering. An oxide powder of barium, cerium, zirconium, and rare earth elements was weighed to the composition ratio listed in the tables, and crushed and mixed with ethanol in an agate mortar. After sufficient mixing, the solvent was removed, defatted with a burner, and crushing and mixing were repeated in the agate mortar. Then, the samples were pressed into-columnar shape and fired for 10 hours at 1300° C. After the firing, granules of about 3 μm were produced by coarse crushing, with further crushing in a benzene solution with a planetary ball mill. The resulting powder was vacuum-dried at 150° C., and columns were formed with a hydrostatic press at 2 tons/cm2, which were immediately fired for 10 hours at 1650° C. to synthesize a sintered product. For almost all samples, a very compact single-phase perovskite oxide was attained. The resulting samples were then evaluated as follows:
- Boiling Test
- As an accelerated test of moisture resistance, the samples were introduced into boiling water of 100° C., and the level of Ba precipitation was evaluated after 10 hours by measuring the pH value. This evaluation utilizes the fact that the pH value in the aqueous solution rises proportionally with the precipitation of barium. For a pH change of not more than 2, the moisture resistance was taken to be excellent (A), for more than 2 and not more than 3.5, it was taken to be good (B), for more than 3.5 and not more than 4, it was taken to be adequate (C), and for more than 4, it was taken to be poor (D).
- Conductivity
- After the above-mentioned boiling test, disks of 0.5 mm thickness and 13 mm diameter were made of the columnar sintered product samples, both sides of the disks were coated with a platinum paste on an area of 0.5 cm2 each, which was baked onto the samples, and the ion conductivity was measured. In this experiment, the conductivity was calculated from the resistance with the alternating current impedance method in air. The measurement temperature was 500° C. The resistance of the leads of the measurement device was subtracted. When the conductivity (in S/cm) was at least 0.007, it was taken as A, for at least 0.001 and less than 0.007 it was taken as B, and for less than 0.001 it was taken as C.
-
FIG. 3 is an arrhenius plot showing the conductivity of materials in accordance with the present invention. - Crystallinity
- When the sintered product was single-phase it was taken as A, when it was multi-phase, it was taken as B, and sintering failures were taken as C.
- The tables show the conductivity at 500° C. and the result of the pH evaluation in the boiling test.
