摘要

Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-based oxide ion conductors exhibit significant potential for applications in intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells. The electrical performance of the material was enhanced by doping with Cu2+ ions. Na0.51Bi0.49Ti1-xCuxO3-δ (x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02) samples were synthesized via the conventional solid-state reaction method to investigate their electrical properties and oxygen relaxation behavior. With increasing Cu2+ ion doping content, the bulk conductivity of Na0.51Bi0.49Ti1-xCuxO3-δ samples initially rises, reaching a peak at 1 mol% doping level, before gradually declining. At 753 K, the bulk conductivity of the Na0.51Bi0.49Ti0.99Cu0.01O3-δ (x = 0.01) sample can achieve at 4.87 × 10–5 S/cm, around 11.6 times higher than that of the undoped Na0.51Bi0.49TiO3-δ (x = 0) sample. By the analysis of the dielectric relaxation spectroscopy, the enhanced oxide ion conductivity in the Na0.51Bi0.49Ti0.99Cu0.01O3-δ (x = 0.01) sample can be attributed to a higher concentration of mobile oxygen vacancies and enhanced oxygen vacancy mobility, as evidenced by the reduced relaxation activation energy. By the equimolar Mg2+ and Cu2+ doping in the B-site, the bulk conductivity of Na0.51Bi0.49Ti0.99Mg0.01O3-δ sample reaches 1.09 × 10–4 S/cm at 583 K, 3.9 times higher than that of the Na0.51Bi0.49Ti0.99Cu0.01O3-δ sample. By the calculations using the CI-NEB method, the oxygen migration barrier of the Bi-Bi-Mg migration gate in the Na0.51Bi0.49Ti0.99Mg0.01O3-δ sample is lower than that of the Bi-Bi-Cu migration gate in the Na0.51Bi0.49Ti0.99Cu0.01O3-δ sample, indicating that there is a higher mobility of the oxygen vacancies in the Na0.51Bi0.49Ti0.99Mg0.01O3-δ sample. These results hold substantial importance for enhancing the electrical performance of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-based oxygen ion conductors, offering valuable insights for future improvements in material design and application.
