Samarium-Doped Ceria/Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Composite Prepared by Solid State Reaction
A research on the preparation of composite samarium-doped ceria (SDC) with yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) has been conducted at the SDC:YSZ ratio of 0:1; 1:9; 1:1; 9:1 and 1:0. This research aims to investigate the crystal structure and the ionic conductivity of the prepared materials. XRD analysis equipped with Le Bail refinement was used to analyze the crystal structure, space group, cell parameters, and cell volume. Meanwhile, the ionic conductivity was determined by impedance measurement.
