Effect of co-doping Yb, Gd and Ce in scandia stabilized zirconia (SSZ) on the phase stability, high temperature aging behavior and ionic conductivity was studied. Both binary (10 mol% SSZ) and the ternary (co-doped) compositions were found to be in single cubic phase in the as-processed condition. However, the binary composition exhibited the rhombohedral 'beta' phase after sintering whereas the ternary compositions remained in the single cubic phase. The sintered pellets were aged at 900 degrees C for 500 h in air to study the phase stability at high temperature. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the aged samples of Yb and Gd co-doped compositions contain small amount of the tetragonal phase which resulted in considerable degradation in conductivity (more than 20%). The Ce co-doped sample, on the other hand, was in single cubic phase after aging and this ensured that conductivity reduction was minimal in this composition. The co-doped samples however, showed higher conductivity before and after aging compared to the binary composition. The rhombohedral 'beta' phase was absent in all the co-doped ternary compositions even after high temperature aging. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
