Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a solid electrolyte used for a solid electrolyte layer such as a fuel cell, an electrolyte layer using the same, and a battery.[Background Art]

[0002] Among fuel cells that have been studied in recent years, a solid oxide fuel cell (hereinafter, referred to as "SOFC") has particularly high power generation efficiency, does not require a fuel-reforming device, and has excellent long-term stability, and therefore, the SOFC has a possibility of being widely applied to home use and business use, and is attracting attention.

[0003] The SOFC is configured to include a solid electrolyte-electrode laminate provided with fuel and air electrodes on both sides of the solid electrolyte layer. Yttria-stabilized zirconia (ZrO 2 -Y 2 O 3) (hereinafter, referred to as "YSZ") is known as an oxide ion (O 2-< ) conductive ceramic for the solid electrolyte layer used in SOFC.

[0004] Other examples of solid electrolytes used in SOFC include compounds with high electrical conductivity, for example, compounds with high ion conductivity that conduct ions such as oxide ions (O 2-< ) and protons (H +< ). Patent Document 1 discloses a crystalline inorganic compound capable of conducting at least one carrier selected from the group consisting of anions, cations, protons, electrons, and holes. Non-Patent Document 1 discloses Ba 7 Nb 4 MoO 20 , which is a hexagonal perovskite-related compound having high ion conductivity (σ).

[0007] A conventional SOFC using YSZ as a solid electrolyte needs to be operated at a high temperature in order to obtain sufficient performance. The reason for this is that YSZ requires a high temperature of approximately 700°C or more in order to ensure the oxide ion conductivity necessary for the battery. Operating a battery at a high temperature of 700°C or more requires an environment and space in which the battery can be operated, other devices for keeping the battery at a high temperature and shutting off or cooling the battery so that other environments do not have a high temperature, and the like.

[0008] It is expected that if SOFC can be operated at low temperatures, the restriction for operating at a high temperature described above will be reduced, and the usefulness of SOFC will be significantly increased. It is also expected that the range of application of solid electrolytes other than SOFC will be greatly expanded because they can be operated at a low temperature. Therefore, a solid electrolyte having high electrical conductivity at a low temperature is strongly desired.

[0009] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a solid electrolyte having high electrical conductivity even in a low-temperature region, and an electrolyte layer and a battery using the solid electrolyte.[Solution to Problem]

[0013] Hereinafter, a solid electrolyte, an electrolyte layer, and a battery will be described.(Solid electrolyte)

[0014] A solid electrolyte of the present embodiment contains a hexagonal perovskite-related compound that includes a compound represented by a specific general formula described later. Here, the solid electrolyte is a material through which ions are conducted, and also includes a material through which both ions and (protons, electrons or holes thereof) are conducted. The hexagonal perovskite-related compound in the present embodiment is a compound having a layered structure containing a hexagonal perovskite unit or a compound having a similar structure.

[0015] The embodiments are defined by aspects [1] to

[11] described above.

[0016] In the present embodiment, it is assumed that a compound having each of the above-described conditions provides effective electrical conductivity (oxide ion conductivity) when used as an oxide ion (O 2-< ) conductor or a solid electrolyte. Oxide ion (O 2-< ) conductors are compounds in which electricity is conducted by conduction (movement) of oxide ions. Further, the solid electrolyte using the compound of the present embodiment is preferably used under a temperature condition of 300 to 1200°C, more preferably used under a temperature condition of 300 to 1000°C, still more preferably used at 300°C or more and less than 700°C, and particularly preferably used at 300 to 600°C. By using the solid electrolyte under these temperature conditions, it is possible to operate at a lower temperature than the conventional SOFC, so that there are few restrictions on the equipment and arrangement required for the operation, and a wide range of applications can be obtained.

[0017] The solid electrolyte using the compound of the present embodiment can be operated at a temperature exceeding 600°C as in a conventional SOFC.

[0018] When the electrical conductivity of the solid electrolyte of the present embodiment is measured at about 300°C, the electrical conductivity represented by log [σ(Scm -1< )] is preferably -7 or more, more preferably higher than -5.0, and particularly preferably -3.5 or more. Since the electrical conductivity at 300°C is sufficiently high, the electrical conductivity is high at a low temperature, and it can be particularly preferably used for a battery or other device operating at a low temperature.(Solid electrolyte layer)

[0019] Further, the solid electrolyte of the present embodiment can be used as a solid electrolyte layer by being formed in a layer shape or being formed so as to be included in a layered structure. The solid electrolyte layer may conductor another ion conductor or the like in addition to the solid electrolyte of the present embodiment. In order for a battery or the like using the solid electrolyte of the present embodiment to exhibit effective electrical conductivity and to effectively operate as a low-temperature operating battery described later in particular, it is preferable for the solid electrolyte layer to contain, for example, 50% by mass or more, preferably 70% by mass or more, of the solid electrolyte containing the hexagonal perovskite-related compound of the present embodiment.(Battery containing solid electrolyte or solid electrolyte layer)

[0020] The solid electrolyte of the present embodiment, or the electrolyte layer containing the solid electrolyte, can be used for a battery containing the solid electrolyte. Of these, the solid electrolyte of the present embodiment can be particularly preferably used for a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) as described above.

[0021] The SOFC in the present embodiment means a battery in which all the electrodes and electrolytes constituting the battery are made of solid. In particular, the ionic conduction between the electrodes may be oxide ions.

[0022] The battery using the solid electrolyte in the present embodiment or the electrolyte layer containing the solid electrolyte can be particularly preferably used for a low-temperature operating battery. In the present embodiment, the low-temperature operating battery is a battery that operates at 300 to 1200°C, preferably 300 to 1000°C, more preferably 300 or more and less than 700°C, and particularly preferably 300 to 600°C, as described above.

[0023] The battery in the present embodiment includes, for example, an anode, a cathode, and the above-described solid electrolyte layer interposed therebetween. The cathode and the solid electrolyte may form an integrated cathode-solid electrolyte layer assembly.(Other applications of solid electrolyte)

[0024] Conventionally, perovskite-related compounds and solid electrolytes containing the perovskite-related compounds exhibit high ion conductivity, and thus are widely applied to batteries, sensors, ion concentrators, membranes used for ion separation, permeation, and the like, catalysts, and the like, and the solid electrolyte of the present embodiment can be applied in the same manner as these. For example, the solid electrolyte of the present embodiment can be used for other batteries, sensors, electrodes, electrolytes, oxygen concentrators, oxygen separation membranes, oxygen permeation membranes, oxygen pumps, catalysts, photocatalysts, electric / electronic / communication devices, energy / environment-related devices, and optical devices, in addition to the above-described solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC).

[0025] The solid electrolyte layer of the present embodiment described above can be used for a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), a sensor, an oxygen concentrator, an oxygen separation membrane, an oxygen permeation membrane, an oxygen pump, or the like.

[0026] The solid electrolyte of the present embodiment can be used as an electrolyte of a gas sensor, for example, as a sensor. A gas sensor, gas detector, or the like can be constituted by attaching a sensitive electrode corresponding to the gas to be detected on the electrolyte. For example, a carbon dioxide sensor can be obtained when a sensitive electrode containing carbonate is used, a NOx sensor can be obtained when a sensitive electrode containing a nitrate is used, and an SOx sensor can be obtained when a sensitive electrode containing sulfate is used. Further, by assembling the electrolytic cell, a collecting device or a decomposing device for NOx and / or SOx contained in exhaust gas can be constituted.

[0027] The solid electrolyte of the present embodiment can be used as an adsorbent or an adsorption-separation agent for ions or the like, various catalysts, or the like.

[0028] In the solid electrolyte of the present embodiment, various rare earths in the ion conductor may act as an activator forming a light emission center (color center). In this case, it can be used as a wavelength-changing material or the like.

[0029] The solid electrolyte of the present embodiment may also become a superconductor by doping with electron carriers or hole carriers.

[0030] Regarding the solid electrolyte of the present embodiment, it is also possible to fabricate an all-solid-state electrochromic element by, using the solid electrolyte as an ion conductor, attaching an inorganic compound or the like which is colored or discolored by insertion / desorption of conduction ions to the surface thereof, and forming a translucent electrode such as ITO thereon. By using this all-solid-state electrochromic element, it is possible to provide an electrochromic display having memory characteristics with reduced power consumption.[Examples](Sample synthesis)(Test Examples 1 to 21)

[0031] The compounds shown in "Composition" of Test Examples 1 to 21 in Table 1 were prepared by the solid-phase reaction method. In the composition shown in Table 1, the oxygen amount calculated from the electrically neutral condition is shown assuming that the oxidation number of Ba is +2, the oxidation number of Nb is +5, the oxidation number of Mo is +6, the oxidation number of oxygen O is -2, the oxidation number of W is +6, the oxidation number of V is +5, the oxidation number of Cr is +6, the oxidation number of Ge is +4, the oxidation number of Si is +4, and the oxidation number of Zr is +4, but the oxygen amount (20+z) is not limited to the values shown because the oxygen non-stoichiometry z depends on the cation molar ratio, temperature, oxygen partial pressure, synthesis method, and thermal history. BaCO 3 , Nb 2 O 5 , MoO 3 , WO 3 , V 2 O 5 , Cr 2 O 3 , GeO 2 , SiO 2 , and ZrO 2 were used as starting materials. The starting materials were dried in advance in an electric furnace at 250 to 300°C for 12 hours, and then weighed with an electronic balance so that the molar ratio of cations was at the desired chemical composition. Using an agate mortar, dry mixing and grinding and wet mixing and grinding using ethanol were repeatedly performed for 30 minutes to 2 hours. The obtained mixture was calcined in the air at 900°C for 10 to 12 hours using an electric furnace. The calcined mixture was repeatedly subjected to wet mixing and grinding using ethanol and dry mixing and grinding in an agate mortar for 30 minutes to 2 hours. The mixture was molded into cylindrical pellets having a diameter of 10 to 20 mm by pressurizing at 62 to 150 MPa using a uniaxial press. The obtained pellets were placed in an electric furnace and sintered in the air at 1100°C for 24 hours. As a result, pellets as a sintered body were obtained. In order to evaluate the product phase of the obtained compound by X-ray diffraction (XRD), a part of the sintered body was ground for 20 minutes by a grinder made of tungsten carbide (WC) and then ground for 30 minutes to 1 hour by an agate mortar.

[0032] For the compounds having the compositions of Test Examples 1 and 6, high-density samples were prepared by means of applying hydrostatic pressure once before sintering. On the other hand, a sample sintered without being subjected to hydrostatic pressure treatment before sintering is called a low-density sample. Assuming a theoretical density for each sample of 5.85 g / cm 3< , the following relative densities were calculated: 100 × (density) / (theoretical density)%.

[0033] The high-density sample of Test Example 1 had a density of 5.2725 g / cm 3< and a relative density of 90.1%.

[0034] The low-density sample of Test Example 1 had a density of 3.9659 g / cm 3< and a relative density of 67.8%.

[0035] The high-density sample of Test Example 6 had a density of 5.5951 g / cm 3< and a relative density of 95.6%.

[0036] The low-density sample of Test Example 6 had a density of 3.9165 g / cm 3< and a relative density of 66.9%.

[0037] For each test example, XRD measurement was performed by a diffractometer Bruker D8. The obtained XRD pattern was indexed using DICVOL06 to obtain the lattice constant. The XRD pattern of Test Example 1 is shown in Fig. 1.

[0038] The results of XRD measurement of Test Examples 2 to 21 are also shown in Figs. 2 to 21, respectively. The lattice constants were determined from the obtained XRD patterns. The lattice constants (a, b, c, α, β, γ) and the lattice volume V of Test Examples 1 to 21 are shown in Table 1.

[0039] The electrical conductivity of each test example in Table 1 excluding Test Example 21 was measured by the DC four-terminal method. After reducing the particle size of the sample prepared in the above (Sample Synthesis) using a ball-mill, the sample was molded into pellets having a 5 mm φ by uniaxial pressing and sintered to prepare a sample for conductivity measurement. Four platinum wires were wound around a sintered body for measuring total electrical conductivity by the DC four-terminal method, and platinum paste was applied on the platinum wires in order to bring the sample and the platinum wires into close contact with each other. In order to remove organic components contained in the platinum or gold paste, the paste was heated at 900°C for 1 hour. The electrical conductivity measured for each test example is shown in Tables 2 to 9. In the composition shown in Tables 2 to 9, the oxygen amount calculated from the electrically neutral condition is shown assuming that the oxidation number of Ba is +2, the oxidation number of Nb is +5, the oxidation number of Mo is +6, the oxidation number of oxygen O is -2, the oxidation number of W is +6, the oxidation number of V is +5, the oxidation number of Cr is +6, the oxidation number of Ge is +4, the oxidation number of Si is +4, and the oxidation number of Zr is +4, but the oxygen amount (20+z) is not limited to the values shown because the oxygen non-stoichiometry z depends on the cation molar ratio, temperature, oxygen partial pressure, synthesis method, and thermal history.

[0040] From Tables 2 to 9, for all of Test Examples 2 to 20, the electrical conductivity represented by log [σ(Scm -1< )] in the temperature range of 280 to 909°C was within the range of -7.0 to -1.0. In Test Examples 2 to 20, the electrical conductivity represented by log [σ(Scm -1< )] obtained by extrapolation from the electrical conductivity at 300°C or the above data and Figs. 22 to is -6.2 or more. Therefore, for all of Test Examples 2 to 20, high electrical conductivity can be obtained at a low temperature. Further, the electrical conductivity at 300°C is higher than -5.0 in Test Examples 2, 3, 5, 6 (high density), 8 to 11, 16, and 20. Of all the test examples, the test example having the highest electrical conductivity at around 300°C described above is Test Example 6, and the value of the electrical conductivity log [σ(Scm -1< )] at 280°C is -3.7. Although the electrical conductivity for Test Example 21 was not measured, it is considered that it exhibits electrical (ionic) conduction in the same manner as in Ba 7 Nb 4.05 Mo 0.95 O 19.975 of Test Example 20.

[0041] Fig. 22 shows a graph (Arrhenius plot) in which log [σ(Scm -1< )] is plotted on the vertical axis and 1000T -1< / K -1< is plotted on the horizontal axis for the absolute temperature T obtained from the temperature of the table for each electrical conductivity σ of conventionally used YSZ (Comparative Example 1), Test Example 1 (Ba 7 Nb 4 MoO 20 ) (high density), and Test Example 6 (Ba 7 Nb 3.9 Mo 1.1 O 20.05 ) (high density).

[0042] From Fig. 22, the electrical conductivity increases as the temperature rises. At 600°C, the electrical conductivity σ of Test Example 6, in which the excess amount x of Mo was 0.10, was 5.5 times higher than the electrical conductivity of Ba 7 Nb 4 MoO 20 of Test Example 1, indicating that the electrical conductivity was improved by increasing the Mo amount.

[0043] In the conventional Test Example 1, the log [σ(Scm -1< )] = -2.7 at 600°C. In Test Example 6, in which the excess amount x of Mo was set to 0.10, the log [σ(Scm -1< )] was higher than those of YSZ and Test Example 1 at a temperature of 590°C or less, indicating that the electrical conductivity was higher than that of a conventionally used electrolyte.

[0044] Further, Fig. 23 shows an Arrhenius plot of the electrical conductivity of Ba 7 Nb 4 MoO 20 in which the excess amount x of Mo is 0.02 to 0.10 in the general formula (7), and Fig. 24 shows an Arrhenius plot of the electrical conductivity of Ba 7 Nb 4 MoO 20 in which the excess amount x of Mo is 0.10 to 0.18. For comparison, Figs. 23 and 24 also show the electrical conductivity of Ba 7 Nb 4 MoO 20 in which the excess amount x of Mo of Test Examples of the present example is 0.0. Test Examples 1 (high density, low density), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (high density, low density), 7, 8, 9, and 10 correspond to samples in which the excess amount x of Mo (x in Ba 7 Nb (4-x) Mo (1+x) O (20+z) of the general formula (7)) is 0 (high density, low density), 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10 (high density, low density), 0.12, 0.14, 0.16, and 0.18, respectively.

[0045] The electrical conductivity of Test Example 1 (x = 0) and Test Example 6 (x = 0.10) of the high-density sample is higher than that of the low-density sample at any temperature.

[0046] All of the samples in which the excess amount x of Mo is in the range of 0.02 to 0.18 (Test Examples 2 to 10) show higher electrical conductivity than the low-density sample of Ba 7 Nb 4 MoO 20 (Test Example 1) in which the excess amount x of Mo is 0. The high-density sample in which the excess amount x of Mo is 0.10 has the highest electrical conductivity, and high electrical conductivity is maintained even at a low temperature of about 300°C.

[0047] Fig. 25 shows an Arrhenius plot of the electrical conductivity of Ba 7 Nb 4 MoO 20 (y = 0.10 in the general formulas (4) to (7)) in which the doping amount y of W, V (substituting part of Mo), V (substituting part of Nb), Cr, Si, Ge, and Zr is 0.1. Test Examples 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, and 19 described above correspond to results of compounds doped with W (substituting part of Nb), V (substituting part of Mo), V, Cr, Ge, Si, and Zr (substituting part of Nb), respectively. Among these compounds, the compound doped with W has the highest electrical conductivity in all of the plotted temperature regions. In other Test Examples, the electrical conductivity of the compound doped with Cr and V (substituting part of Mo) is high at a high temperature, but the electrical conductivity of the compound doped with Si increases when 1000T -1< / K -1< becomes 1.4 or more, that is, at a low temperature of approximately 441°C or less.

[0048] Further, Fig. 26 shows an Arrhenius plot of the electrical conductivity of Ba 7 Nb 4 MoO 20 in which the doping amount y of Cr is 0.10 to 0.30 (Ba 7 Nb (4-y) MoCr y O (20+z) in which y = 0.10 to 0.30 in the general formula (10)). Test Examples 14, 15, and 16 described above correspond to samples having a doping amount y of 0.10, 0.20, and 0.30, respectively. The electrical conductivity of Ba 7 Nb 4 MoO 20 (y = 0.10 to 0.30) in which the doping amount y of Cr is 0.10 to 0.30 is higher than that of Ba 7 Nb 4 MoO 20 at 800°C or lower.(Oxygen partial pressure dependence of total electrical conductivity)

[0049] For Test Example 1, the oxygen partial pressure dependence of total electrical conductivity was measured. Samples were prepared in the same manner as described above (measurement of total electrical conductivity). The oxygen partial pressure was controlled by using an oxygen O 2 gas, a nitrogen N 2 gas, and an N 2 / H 2 mixed gas.

[0050] The oxygen partial pressure dependence of total electrical conductivity was measured at an oxygen partial pressure range of 3.5 × 10 -25< to 0.2 atm and 900°C. The oxygen partial pressure was monitored using an oxygen sensor installed downstream of the device. The oxygen partial pressure was controlled by mixing a small amount of the N 2 / H 2 mixed gas with the nitrogen gas.

[0051] Fig. 27 shows a graph in which the measured electrical conductivity log [σ(Scm -1< )] is plotted on the vertical axis with respect to the oxygen partial pressure log [P(O 2 ) / atm] on the horizontal axis. It was strongly suggested that oxide ions were the dominant carriers in the electrical conduction of the compound of Test Example 1 because the total electrical conductivity was almost constant regardless of the oxygen partial pressure. Test Examples 2 to 21 having similar crystal structures are also considered to be compounds having oxide ions as dominant carriers.(Evaluation of oxide ion transference number)

[0052] For Test Example 6, in order to determine the oxide ion transference number, the electromotive force was measured by an oxygen concentration cell using air gas and an N 2 / O 2 mixed gas. After reducing the particle diameter of the sample prepared in the above-mentioned (Sample Synthesis) using a ball-mill, the sample was molded into pellets having a 25 mm φ by uniaxial pressing, and hydrostatic pressure was applied. The sample was sintered at 1200°C for 12 hours to prepare a high-density sample of Test Example 6 for measuring electromotive force. The surface of the sample was scraped with a diamond slurry to make it smooth. The relative density of the pellets of Test Example 6 was 96.0%. A Pt paste having a diameter of about 10 mm was applied to the center of the pellet and heated at 1000°C for 1 hour in order to remove the organic component contained in the platinum paste. The platinum paste and the platinum electrode were bonded with instant adhesives, and the alumina tube, glass seal, and sample were also bonded with instant adhesives and the platinum electrode was attached. A clamp made of alumina was used as a presser for the measurement. After heating at 1000°C for 1 hour for adhesion of the glass seal, the oxide ion transference number of Test Example 6 was determined at 800°C and 900°C by measuring the electromotive force with an oxygen concentration cell.

[0053] Fig. 28 and Fig. 29 respectively show the electromotive force / mV plotted on the vertical axis and the oxygen partial pressure log [P(O 2 ) / atm] plotted on the horizontal axis for the result of electromotive force measurement of the oxygen concentration cell of Test Example 6 at temperatures of 800°C and 900°C. The measured values showed that the electromotive force obtained was close to the theoretical value, in particular, the transference number of oxide ions at 900°C was 94%, indicating that the oxide ions were the dominant carriers in the electrical conduction of the compound of Test Example 6, and that the compound of Test Example 6 was an oxide ion conductor. It is considered that the same transference numbers are shown for Test Examples 1 to 5 and 7 to 21 having similar crystal structures.(Structural optimization by density functional theory calculation)

[0054] Structural optimization calculations based on density functional theory were performed on Ba 7 Nb 3 MoMO 20 . Here, M is a cation of at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ag, Al, At, Au, Be, Bi, Br, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Dy, Er, Eu, Fe, Ga, Gd, Ge, Hf, Hg, Ho, I, In, Ir, La, Li, Lu, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Nd, Ni, Np, Os, P, Pb, Pd, Po, Pr, Pt, Pu, Re, Rh, Ru, S, Sb, Sc, Se, Si, Sm, Sn, Sr, Ta, Tb, Tc, Te, Ti, Tl, Tm, U, V, W, Xe, Y, Yb, Zn, and Zr. Structural optimization calculation was further performed on Ba 7 Nb 3 Mo 2 O 20 . Density functional theory calculation using generalized gradient approximation and PBE functional was performed using the program VASP. Tables 10 to 12 and 33 to 36 show the results of the lattice constants obtained by the structural optimization. The optimized structures of all compositions retain the crystal structure of the original hexagonal perovskite-related compounds, indicating the possibility that these compositions can be synthesized. These compositions are also considered to exhibit oxide ion conduction.

This compound also has a crystal structure similar to that of the compounds of Test Examples 1 to 21, and thus is considered to have oxide ion conductance.(Test Examples 74 to 80)

[0062] The compounds shown in the "composition" of Test Examples 74 to 80 in Table 15 were prepared by the solid-phase reaction method. BaCO 3 , Al 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , Gd 2 O 3 , Dy 2 O 3 , Ho 2 O 3 , Er 2 O 3 , Tm 2 O 3 , Yb 2 O 3 , and Lu 2 O 3 were used as starting materials. The starting materials were dried in advance in an electric furnace at 300°C for 12 hours, and then weighed with an electronic balance so that the molar ratio of cations was at the desired chemical composition. Using an agate mortar, dry mixing and grinding and wet mixing and grinding using ethanol were repeatedly performed for 30 minutes. The obtained mixture was calcined in the air at 900°C for 10 hours using an electric furnace. The calcined mixture was subjected to mixing and grinding in an agate mortar for 30 minutes in a dry manner. The mixture was molded into cylindrical pellets having a diameter of 20 mm by pressurizing at about 50 MPa using a uniaxial press. The obtained pellets were placed in an electric furnace and sintered in the air at 1600°C for 12 hours to obtain a sintered body. The electrical conductivity was measured using the obtained sintered body. In order to evaluate the product phase of the obtained compound by X-ray diffraction (XRD), a part of the sintered body was ground for 20 minutes by a grinder made of tungsten carbide (WC) and then ground for about 30 minutes by an agate mortar.

[0063] Each table also shows the lattice constant and the lattice volume V of Test Examples 22 to 83. Further, for some Test Examples, the activation energy Ea (eV) of conductivity estimated from the temperature dependence of the total electrical conductivity is also shown. The transference number of Test Example 27 at 900°C was 100%.

[0064] Fig. 30 shows a crystal structure of Ba 7 Nb 4 MoO 20 used in Test Example 22. In this figure, the space group is P-3m1 (No. 164), and the lattice constants are a = b = 5.8602 Å and c = 16.5311 Å. Test Examples 23 to 58 and 81 to 83, which are Ba 7 Nb 4 MoO 20 -based materials, also have similar crystal structures. Figs. 31 and 32 are a graph showing the XRD patterns of Ba 7 Nb (4-x) Mo (1+x) O (20+z) . Fig. 31 shows the measurement charts for x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1, and Fig. 32 shows the measurement charts for x = 0.12, 0.14, 0.16, 0.18, 0.2, 0.22, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5. The conductivity of Ba 7 Nb (4-x) Mo (1+x) O (20+z) is plotted in a temperature-dependent manner for each value of x in Fig. 33 and in a composition-dependent manner for each temperature value in Fig. 34.

[0065] Fig. 35 is a graph showing the XRD pattern of Ba 7 Nb (4-y) MoCr y O (20+z) used in Test Examples 40 to 44 and 46. The measurement charts for x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 are shown. The conductivity of Ba7Nb(4-x)Mo(1+x)O(20+z) is plotted in a temperature-dependent manner in Fig. 36.

[0066] The conductivity of Ba 7 Nb (4-y) MoCr y O (20+z) used in Test Examples 22, 40 to 44, and 46 is plotted in a composition-dependent manner in Fig. 37.

[0067] Fig. 38 is a graph showing the XRD patterns of Ba 7 Nb (4-y) MoW y O (20+z) used in Test Examples 52 to 58 and 81 and 83. Fig. 39 shows the total electrical conductivity of Ba 7 Nb (4-y) MoW y O (20+z) in a temperature-dependent manner. Fig. 40 shows the total electrical conductivity of Ba 7 Nb (4-y) MoW y O (20+z) in a composition-dependent manner.

[0068] Fig. 41 is a graph showing XRD patterns of Ba 7 Nb 3.9 MoM 0.1 O (20+z) (M is V, Mn, Ge, Si, or Zr), Ba 7 Nb 4 Mo 0.9 M 0.10 O (20+z) (M is V or Mn), and Ba 7 Nb 4.05 Mo 0.95 O (20+z) as other solid solutions used in Test Examples 38, 39, 45, and 47 to 51. Fig. 42 shows the electrical conductivity of the solid solutions used in Test Examples 38, 39, and 47 to 50 in a temperature-dependent manner.

[0069] Fig. 43 shows the crystal structure of a Ba 3 WVO 8.5 -based material used in Test Examples 59 to 67. At present, the Ba 3 WVO 8.5 system is said to have the crystal structure of Fig. 43(a), but the crystal structures of Figs. 43(b) and (c) are proposed from the analysis results. In these figures, the space group is R-3m (No. 166), and the lattice constants are a = b = 5.808130 (19) Å and c = 21.094919 (21) Å. Fig. 44 is a graph showing the XRD patterns of Ba 3 W (1-x) V (1-x) O (8.5+z) . Fig. 45 shows the electrical conductivity in a temperature-dependent manner. Fig. 46 shows the electrical conductivity in a composition-dependent manner. The electrical conductivity increases as the temperature rises. At 600°C, the electrical conductivity σ of Ba 3 W 1.6 V 0.4 O 8.8 of Test Example 66 was 85 times higher than the electrical conductivity of Ba 3 WVO 8.5 of Test Example 59, indicating that the electrical conductivity was improved by increasing the W amount. The same applies to Test Examples 59 to 65 and 67, which are also Ba 3 WVO 8.5 -based materials.

[0070] Fig. 47 shows the P (O 2 ) dependence of conductivity for Ba 3 W 1.6 V 0.4 O 8.8 of Test Example 66. It is suggested that oxide ions are the dominant carriers in the region in the electrical conduction of the compound of Test Example 66 because there is a region where the total electrical conductivity is almost constant regardless of the oxygen partial pressure. Fig. 48 shows the conductivity of Ba 3 W 1.6 V 0.4 O 8.8 in dry air and in moist air. No change in total electrical conductivity was observed in measurements in moist air and dry air with respect to Test Example 66, strongly suggesting that no proton conduction occurred in Test Example 66. The same applies to Test Examples 59 to 65 and 67, which are also Ba 3 WVO 8.5 -based materials.

[0071] Fig. 49 shows the crystal structure of a Ba 3 MoTiO 8 -based material used in Test Examples 68 to 70. In this figure, the space group is R-3m (No. 166), and the lattice constants are a = b = 5.9548Å and c = 21.2924Å. Fig. 50 is a graph showing the XRD pattern of Ba 3 Mo (1-x) Ti (1+x) O (8+z) .

[0072] Fig. 51 shows the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of Ba 3 Mo 1.1 Ti 09 O 8.1 and Ba 3 Mo 1.2 Ti 0.8 O 8.2 in which the excess amount x of Ti is -0.1 and - 0.2. The temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of Ba 3 MoTiO 8 in which the excess amount x of Mo of Test Example of the present example is 0.0 is also shown. All of the samples in which the excess amount x of Mo is in the range of -0.1 and -0.2 show higher electrical conductivity than the sample of Ba 3 MoTIO 8 (Test Example 68) in which the excess amount x of Mo is 0.0. At 620°C or less, the sample in which the excess amount x of Mo is -0.1 has the highest electrical conductivity, and high electrical conductivity is maintained even at a low temperature of about 300°C.(Oxygen partial pressure dependence of total electrical conductivity)

[0073] For Test Example 69, the oxygen partial pressure dependence of total electrical conductivity was measured. Fig. 52 shows a graph in which the measured electrical conductivity log [σ(Scm -1< )] is plotted on the vertical axis with respect to the oxygen partial pressure log [P(O 2 ) / atm] on the horizontal axis. It was strongly suggested that oxide ions were the dominant carriers in the electrical conduction of the compound of Test Example 69 because the total electrical conductivity was almost constant regardless of the oxygen partial pressure. The same applies to Test Examples 68 and 70, which are also Ba 3 MoTiO 8 -based materials.

[0074] Fig. 53 shows the crystal structure of a Ba 7 Ca 2 Mn 5 O 20 -based material used in Test Example 71. In this figure, the space group R-3m (No. 166), the lattice constants a = b = 5.8195Å, and c = 51.3701Å. Fig. 54 is a graph showing the XRD pattern of Ba 7 Ca 2 Mn 5 O 20 . Fig. 55 shows the total electrical conductivity of Ba 7 Ca 2 Mn 5 O 20 in a temperature-dependent manner.

[0075] Fig. 56 shows the crystal structure of a Ba 2.6 Ca 1.4 La 4 Mn 4 O 19 -based material used in Test Example 72. The space group of Ba 2.6 Ca 1.4 La 4 Mn 4 O 19 is C2 / m (No. 12), and the lattice constants are a = 9.8394 Å, b = 5.6823 Å, c = 15.6435 Å, and β = 102.09 °. Fig. 57 is a graph showing the XRD pattern of Ba 2.6 Ca 1.4 La 4 Mn 4 O 19 . Fig. 58 shows the total electrical conductivity of Ba 2.6 Ca 1.4 La 4 Mn 4 O 19 in a temperature-dependent manner.

[0076] Fig. 59 shows the crystal structure of a La 2 Ca 2 MnO 7 -based material used in Test Example 73. In this figure, the space group is R-3m (No. 166), and the lattice constants are a = b = 5.6200 Å and c = 17.2954 Å. Fig. 60 is a graph showing the XRD pattern of La 2 Ca 2 MnO 7 .

[0077] Fig. 61 shows the crystal structure of the Ba 5 M 2 Al 2 ZrO 13 -based material used in Test Examples 74 to 80. In this figure, the space group is P63 / mmc (No. 194), and the lattice constants are a = b = 5.9629 Å and c = 24.7340 Å. Fig. 62 is a graph showing the XRD patterns of Ba 5 M 2 Al 2 ZrO 13 (M is Gd, Dy, Er, Ho, Tm, Yb, Lu). Fig. 63 shows the total electrical conductivity of Ba 5 M 2 Al 2 ZrO 13 measured in the air in a temperature-dependent manner. For Test Example 76, the total electrical conductivity in dry air was also shown in a temperature-dependent manner. The reduced conductivity in dry air suggests that Test Example 76 exhibits proton conduction. The same applies to Test Examples 74, 75, and 77 to 80, which are also Ba 5 M 2 Al 2 ZrO 13 -based materials.
