Abstract

In this work we have shown the influence of the microstructure and nanochemistry on the transport properties of Y2O3-(9mol%) stabilized zirconia and Gd2O3 (10 mol%)-doped ceria. Zirconia (YSZ) samples show transport properties (DO, σgb) which increase with the grain size, while they decrease in ceria (GSC). This difference was attributed to the presence of glassy grain boundary precipitates in YSZ. On the other hand, it was shown that kinetic demixing processes during cooling, at the end of sintering, play an important role on the grain boundary properties of these oxides.
