Study on properties of BaZr_0.7Ce_0.2Y_0.1O_3−δ ceramics prepared by high-pressure sintering

Abstract

High-pressure sintering method was used to prepare the proton conductor based on BaZr_0.7Ce_0.2Y_0.1O_3−δ for the first time, and a comparative research of traditional pressureless sintering and high-pressure sintering methods was carried out. High-pressure sintering accelerated the sintering densification and greatly lowered the sintering temperature, resulting in high performance BaZr_0.7Ce_0.2Y_0.1O_3−δ product which was expected to be used as solid electrolyte to fabricate a sensor for measuring hydrogen in high-pressure hydrothermal systems.
