Abstract

Porous GdSmZr2O7 (GSZ) with different porosities has been prepared by the solid state reaction, and GSZ-carbonates composites have been prepared by infiltrating (Li0·52Na0.48)2CO3 (LNC) molten carbonates. Phase structure, microstructure and electrical property have been analyzed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). SEM results show that the voids in porous GSZ are uniformly distributed. The relative density of GSZ-LNC composites obtained by molten salt infiltration is above 93%. The electrical conductivity of the GSZ-LNC composites obtained by molten salt infiltration reaches the highest value of 0.50 S cm−1 at 600 °C, which is much higher than that of GSZ-LNC composites prepared by traditional mechanical mixing method. This excellent electrical property strongly indicates that the GSZ-LNC composite obtained by molten salt infiltration is a promising ionic conductor.
