Abstrakt: The effects of doping a trace of Fe2O3 on the structural and electrical properties of 8 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) are investigated. The 8YSZ electrolytes doped with various Fe2O3 contents are applied to a solid oxide fuel cell to confirm whether it is positive or negative for SOFC performances. In this study, the 8YSZ electrolyte with a trace of Fe2O3 shows the increased oxygen vacancies and better ionic conductivity. The optimum Fe2O3 doping content is 500 ppm at a sintering temperature of 1400 °C. The 8YSZ electrolyte doped with 500 ppm Fe2O3 shows 0.122 S cm−1 and 0.598 W cm−2 at 800 °C in the ionic conductivity and maximum power density, respectively. The power density of the cell based on the 8YSZ electrolyte doped with 500 ppm Fe2O3 is about 1.5 times higher than the cell using the pristine 8YSZ electrolyte. Thus, the introduction of a trace of Fe2O3 to the 8YSZ can improve its structural and electrical properties and finally SOFC performances. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
