Abstract

The Eu3+ doped barium cerate had been made using the Glycine nitrate combustion technique. The prepared powder's characterization reveals that it is made entirely of orthorhombic nanopowder that has been crystallized. The generated nanopowder's emission spectra were used to calculate the Judd-Ofelt parameter intensities, which confirmed that the added Eu3+ replaced the Ce4+ in the perovskite structure and that it was positioned in the 4b, non-centrosymmetric Wyckoff position. By using complex impedance spectroscopy, the produced nanopowder's electric characteristics were investigated in the temperature range of 480–650 °C (CIS). The obtained doped barium cerate has an unusual activation energy (0.28 eV between 562 and 650 °C) and conductivity of 2673 10−5 Ω−1 cm−1 at 650 °C in the temperature range under consideration.
