Fluorite type oxide-ion conductors : new approaches
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-30) - ThesisThe development of electrolyte materials for the high temperature (800-1000 ∘C) solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is mostly based on anion-deficient fluorite oxides, especially cubic stabilised zirconia and ceria. The 8 mol % ... -
Metal nanoparticle growth through in situ exsolution from barium cerate zirconate
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-30) - ThesisProtonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) have great potential in applications compared with oxygen-ion-conducting-electrolyte based cells due to their relatively high ionic conductivity under intermediate and low temperature ... -
Positive electrode materials for high energy rechargeable batteries
(University of St Andrews, 2020-07-29) - ThesisWith the growth of environmental concerns, rechargeable batteries – lithium ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium ion batteries (SIBs) - have been employed in a large number of different applications. To meet the market needs ... -
A Trojan horse route to emergent active and stable platinum nanoparticles from a perovskite system
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-30) - ThesisPlatinum (Pt), generally dispersed on a solid oxide support, has been widely used for catalytic chemical reactions in automobile, petroleum and energy industries. During the reactions, Pt is exposed to severe conditions, ...
