  B-site cation inter-diffusion in the ABO3 perovskite yttrium-substituted barium zirconate (BZY) was studied at temperatures from 1100 to 1460 °C under reducing and oxidising conditions. The experiments followed two different approaches using Ce as a chemical tracer for Zr. By fitting diffusion profiles of the cation obtained by either Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA) or Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), we determined bulk, grain-boundary and effective diffusion coefficients. The activation energies of bulk diffusion (4.5 ± 0.4 eV) are similar to the migration enthalpy obtained by a computational approach (∼4 eV). On this basis, we conclude that the activation energies correspond to the migration enthalpies, assuming that the concentration of Zr vacancies in the bulk was frozen-in. Grain-boundary diffusion coefficients were found to be more than four orders of magnitude higher than the corresponding bulk values, while the activation energies of grain-boundary diffusion are relatively similar to those for bulk. This was attributed to higher concentrations of cation vacancies in space-charge layers at the boundaries. Overall, the results show that BZY electrolytes are highly stable towards degradation related to B-site cation diffusion.

  We herein report inter-diffusion across the interface between p-type Ni0.98Li0.02O and n-type Zn0.98Al0.02O for various applications including p-n-heterojunction diodes and oxide thermoelectrics. Diffusion couples were made of polished surfaces of ceramic samples pre-sintered at 1250 and 1350 °C for Ni0.98Li0.02O and Zn0.98Al0.02O, respectively. The inter-diffusion couples were annealed at 900–1200 °C for 160 h in ambient air. Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA) was used to acquire diffusion profiles, followed by fitting to Fick's second law and Whipple–Le Claire's models for bulk and grain-boundary diffusion calculation, respectively. Zn2+ diffused into Ni0.98Li0.02O mainly by bulk diffusion with an activation energy of 250 ± 10 kJ/mol, whereas Ni2+ diffused into Zn0.98Al0.02O by both bulk and enhanced grain boundary diffusion with activation energies of 320 ± 120 kJ/mol and 245 ± 50 kJ/mol, respectively. The amount of Al3+ diffused from the Al-doped ZnO into the NiO phase was too small for a corresponding diffusion coefficient to be calculated. Li-ion distribution and diffusivity were not determined due to lack of analyzer sensitivity for Li. The bulk and effective diffusivities of Zn2+ and Ni2+ into NiO and ZnO enable prediction of inter-diffusion lengths as a function of time and temperature, allowing estimates of device performance, stability, and lifetimes at different operation temperatures.

  Thermoelectric materials are used to convert waste heat to consumable power. Among these materials, oxide thermoelectric materials are emerging as promising candidate materials as they are stable at high temperature and non-toxic as well as environment friendly. In the present work, we are investigating the stability and thermodynamic co-existence at the interface of a newly proposed thermoelectric generator. In this type of module configuration, the p and n legs will be put in direct contact without metallic interconnect. The barrier layer that could be formed at high temperature side could be surmounted by operating at high temperature to increase the generation rate of minority charge carriers. At low temperature side, there will be a recombination of majority charge carriers. This implies that the Ohmic behavior of the materials at p-n junction increases with increasing temperature. Powders such as “Ca3Co4O9” (CCO) and Sr0.9La0.1TiO3 (SLTO) as p-type and n-type, respectively, were used via standard solid state reaction methods of powder synthesis. Then the samples were subjected to characterization and measurements.

  Hydrogen will play a key role in a zero-emission society, and proton (H+) conducting oxides have gained interest as solid-state electrolytes for next-generation electrochemical devices for fuel cells and electrolyzers. Understanding the effect of structure on materials functional properties is important for enhancing the performance of such electrolytes. Oxides with fluorite related crystal structures are interesting for their high oxide ion and proton (H+) conductivities, and in this work the relationship between the atomic structure and the materials properties such as ionic conductivity and hydration properties have been studied for three different oxides. They are oxygen deficient with respect to the fluorite structure and the vacant oxide ion sites can thus be ordered or disordered. Through a combination of different experimental and computational methods the nature and degree of ordering and the atomic structure have been determined, and correlated to the properties of the cations present, such as size and electronegativity. The work further focuses on whether ordering the oxide ion vacancies affects the hydration and consequently the proton conductivity. The results have led us to propose a new model for hydration of heavily doped yet disordered fluorite oxides.

  Ruthenium based catalysts for ammonia synthesis have been studied extensively following the industrial adoption of a promoted carbon supported ruthenium catalyst in the Kellogg Advanced Ammonia Process (KAAP). Nevertheless, there are still fundamental aspects such as the dissociative adsorption of nitrogen—generally regarded as the rate determining step of NH3 synthesis—and the influence of the barium promoter, not fully explored. In the present work, the activation of nitrogen on barium promoted ruthenium is elucidated through a combined experimental and computational approach. Nitrogen dissociation and association on a clean and barium promoted Ru(0001) step were investigated through DFT based calculations using VASP. Unpromoted dissociation was found to proceed with an energy barrier of 51 kJmol−1, with a N-N distance of the transition state (TS) of 1.864 Å. The calculated activation barrier for association was 135 kJmol−1, which increased to 161 kJmol−1 when diffusion of atomic nitrogen along the terrace was considered. Upon promotion by a unit of atomic Ba, BaOH and BaO at the step, the dissociation barrier decreased rather similarly by 21, 18 and 18 kJmol−1, respectively. The chemical state of the promoting unit was determined to have a larger effect on the association barrier, which decreases by 19, 10 and 5 kJmol−1, respectively. A previously not reported local energy minimum state with one nitrogen atom adsorbed on the b5-hcp site and the other at a step-bridge site was identified. A significant stabilization of the local minimum state is observed upon promotion: the N-N distance of the initial and final state of dissociation increased (which can be associated with a weakening of the N-N bond), while it decreased for the TS and the local minimum state. The promoting effect decreases rapidly with increasing distance to the dissociating nitrogen, indicating that the interactions were of electronic nature. Powdered catalyst samples of Ru-Ba/AC were prepared by Ba(NO3)2 wet-impregnation of 5 wt% Ru on activated carbon. The nitrogen isotope exchange (IE) reaction 14,14N2 + 15,15N2 = 214,15N2 on Ru-Ba/AC was investigated in the temperature range 320– 750°C at N2 pressures of 20–230mbar, by means of gas-phase analysis with mass spectrometry (GPA-MS). Apparent isotope exchange activation energies in range 162– 178 kJmol−1 were obtained below 425°C. This is in good agreement with the literature and the present computational results. At higher temperatures the apparent activaiii Abstract tion energy abruptly decreases to 64–88 kJmol−1. It is suggested that the change in temperature dependence is due to limitations by pore diffusion at higher temperatures. In the presence of 1mbar water vapor in the temperature range 575–625°C, the isotope exchange rate was significantly reduced compared to under dry conditions, and the apparent activation energy increased from 88 ± 2 kJmol−1 to 126 ± 12 kJmol−1. When water vapor was introduced, evolution of H2 was observed, indicating that oxidation of partially reduced Ba occurred in the presence of H2O. Isotherms of the isotope exchange rate showed reaction orders with respect to nitrogen partial pressure of 0.83 ± 0.05 and 0.88 ± 0.03 at 625°C and 700°C, respectively, and 1.1 at 450°C. All of which are in good agreement with values reported in literature for NH3 synthesis. Deactivation of the catalyst was observed at temperatures above 500°C, resulting in a significantly decreasing IE rate with time. In accordance with reports from literature, and the computational and experimental results, it is proposed the isotope exchange rate and activation energy are highly dependent on the chemical state of the barium promoter, which is further dependent on the environmental conditions, such as temperature and the presence of water vapor. iv

  The main topics of this thesis are the surface kinetics and bulk diffusion of oxygen in Ba(1-x)Gd0.8La(0.2+x)Co2O(6-d) (BGLC). Previous work has identified BGLC as very promising electrode material for SOFC’s and electrolyzers. With conductivities in the range of ~1000 S/cm and polarization resistances in the order of 10^-2 Ocm2 around operating temperatures (i.e. 500-700 ºC). BGLC is in line to surpass current state of the art materials. Yet in order to introduce a new electrode, thorough characterization needs to be performed on its physicochemical properties. BGLC has been identified as double perovkite (double on the c-axis) by x-ray diffractometry (XRD), and synchotron measurements, in the form of AA'B2O(6-d). Cobalt occupies the B sites at the cell’s corners, with octahedral coordination of oxygen atoms, while barium and the lanthanides occupy the center of each square cell. Such a structure is highly defective; the heterovalency between barium and the lanthanides introduces oxygen vacancies in the material. The perfect structure is defined at BaGd0.8La0.2Co2O6 in order to establish a defect model. It is suggested that cobalt ions of differing valence (+2, +3 and +4) are evenly distributed through the material, and that the oxygen sites are ordered in layers surrounding the different cations. From this starting point, effects of temperature and atmosphere on the structure and properties of BGLC is studied. High temperature in-situ XRD in the temperature range from 25 to 800 ºC shows little change in the structure. As opposed to other perovskites (ex.: GdBaCo2O6-d), BGLC remains stable through operating temperatures. Lanthanum can be used to dope the barium sites without compromising stability, leading to more compositions. Synchotron data shows the majority of oxygen vacancies aggregated in the lanthanide layer (O1 site), a reduced amount in the cobalt layer (O2 site), and no vacancies present in the barium layer (O3 site). Such a flexible structure can be reduced or oxidized easily. Changes in temperature using a thermal balance revealed the oxygen non-stoichiometry as function of temperature down to [O] ~4.9. The same experiments were performed isothermally with changing pO2. The defect model proposed is able to model the data closely for BGLC and related double perovskites. These oxygen vacancies allow for ionic diffusion through the material. The transport regimes were divided in two: surface exchange of oxigen, and bulk diffusion (self-, chemical, and tracer). Thermogravimetry (TG), isotope exchange gas phase analysis (GPA) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS) were employed to measure the diffusion coefficients (D) and surface coefficient (k) of BGLC at various temperatures between 350 to 800 ºC. Dchem was measured to 10^-6 to 10^-7 cm2/s at relatively low temperatures of 600 – 500 ºC with an equally low activation energy of ~0.74 eV. This leads to an oxide ion conductivity of 10^-2 to 10^-3 S/cm at operating conditions. The values were found to be competitive with state-of-the-art materials in literature. The pre-exponential values and activation energies are in close agreement to related double perovskites such as GdBaCo2O6-d and PrBaCo2O6-d. The oxygen surface exchange was studied using GPA, where a mass spectrometer tracks the concentration of species in the gas phase of a reaction chamber. Various reaction sequences are proposed for the oxygen exchange process of adsorption-dissociation-association-desorption. The desorption/adsorption steps were found to be rate limiting for this material. The surface exchange coefficient, k, is characterized by 6.0*10^-2 Exp(-66570/RT), a high value for k0 and low Ea for perovskites, but on par with novel double-perovskites. An imporant of feature of BGLC is the relatively high proton content (~1 mol%) under wet atmosphere. The hydration properties are included and modeled in the defect structure.

  The carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere has increased dramatically over the last century, and much of this increase is a direct consequence of human activities. Being a greenhouse gas, CO2 significantly contributes to global warming, and there is an international agreement to reduce emission of CO2. One method to reduce CO2 release is carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). CCS entails to capture waste CO2 from large point sources, and transport it to a permanently deposit, usually in geological formations. The transported CO2 is likely to contain impurities like water, oxygen, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. These impurities are known to cause corrosion, dust and/or solid formations, and may lead to operational difficulties. The present study examined how water as an impurity, both as a free water phase and water dissolved in dense phase CO2, affects the corrosion of carbon steel. There are few experimental studies that have examined corrosion in CO2 transport pipelines, and these few studies have shown different corrosion rates in experiments where the reported amount of dissolved water in the CO2 was the same. These discrepancies may reflect short-comings in methodology in some of these studies, where formation of free water may have contributed to high corrosion rates. The present study was undertaken to resolve some of the controversy related to corrosion in pure CO2/water systems. For this study we designed experimental equipment that allowed complete control of the water concentration in CO2, without the risk of droplet formation. This provides realistic results that mimic the situation in the operating pipelines. Three corrosion experiments were conducted with water dissolved in CO2 at 25 °C and 95 bar of pressure. Even with water concentrations close to the solubility limit, the general corrosion rates were below 1.5 µm/y and no localized attacks were found. A fourth experiment was conducted at and above the solubility limit of water in CO2. Even though we could confirm at the end of the experiment that water had accumulated in the loop, the corrosion rate was still at 1.0 µm/y, with no localized attacks. A final experiment was performed at 35 °C and 95 bar of pressure, in which no corrosion was detected. Corrosion products were found on the surface in all experiments, but at low quantities, most likely less than of practical significance. However, with water levels above the solubility limits, i.e. in the present of free water phase, the corrosion rate increased by 3 to 4 orders of magnitude (2 mm/y to 16 mm/y, pressure depended). For a CO2 transport pipeline these results suggest that the corrosion will not be a problem as long as the water is kept below the solubility limit. However, it is extremely important to avoid liquid water ingress as this would dramatically reduce the lifetime of the pipeline.
