Zn substitution at Cu site in Cu<sub>3</sub>SbSe<sub>4</sub> reduces the thermal conductivity giving beneficial effect to thermoelectric figure of merit.
CoFe2O4 ceramic was fabricated using a sol-gel auto-combustion process. The cubic spinel structure with F d −3 m space group symmetry confirmed through the Rietveld refinement of XRD pattern sintered at 800 °C for 4 h. cobalt vacancies tetrahedral site were verified by electron density distribution calculated maximum entropy method. impedance spectroscopy study revealed that grain boundary dominant compared to in electrical properties CoFe2O4. total dc resistivity fitted variable range...
Abstract In this study, the Ho-substituted BaZrO 3 electrolyte ceramics (BaZr 1- x Ho O 3-δ , 0.05 ≤ 0.20) were synthesized through a low-cost flash pyrolysis process followed by conventional sintering. The effects of Ho-substitution in studied terms structural phase relationship, microstructure and electrical conductivity to substantiate augmented total for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). Rietveld refined X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed that pure with...
The MgAl2O4 nanocrystalline powder was synthesized using naturally available egg white and inexpensive metal nitrate salts. During this process, the freshly extracted mixed with salt subsequently heated at 350 °C in a pit furnace. entire dehydration of aqueous solution thus facilitates low-density fluffy mass. From TGDTG results, it observed that maximum decomposition precursors occurred below 600 °C. Therefore, calcination temperature as-synthesized set bulk ceramic foam fabricated by...
