Ionic conductivity in the Lu2O3-TiO2 system

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Nanocrystalline Lu2O3-TiO2 (33.3–44 mol % Lu2O3) materials with a partially disordered pyrochlore structure, prepared via heat treatment in the range 1400–1750°C, are found to possess high oxygen ionic conductivity. Their 740°C conductivity is 10-3 to 10-2 S/cm, depending on the heat-treatment temperature and composition, which is comparable to that of the well-known fluorite solid electrolyte ZrO2-9 mol % Y2O3.
