LID - 10.3390/ma12050739 [doi] LID - 739 AB - BaCe(0.9)Yb(0.1)O(3-alpha) was prepared via the sol-gel method using zirconium nitrate, ytterbium trioxide, cerium nitrate and barium acetate as raw materials. Subsequently, it reacted with the binary NaCl~KCl salt to obtain BaCe(0.9)Yb(0.1)O(3-alpha)-NaCl~KCl composite electrolyte. The structure, morphology, conductivity and fuel cell performance of the obtained samples were investigated. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed that BaCe(0.9)Yb(0.1)O(3-alpha) and NaCl~KCl combined with each other to form a homogeneous 3-D reticulated structure. The highest power density and conductivity of BaCe(0.9)Yb(0.1)O(3-alpha)-NaCl~KCl was 393 mW.cm(-2) and 3.0 x 10(-1) S.cm(-1) at 700 degrees C, respectively.
