Abstract

The stability of the SrZr_0.9Yb_0.1O_3−α protonic conductor in an atmosphere containing nitrogen oxides (NO_x) was investigated. When a fine powder of SrZr_0.9Yb_0.1O_3−α with a specific surface area of about 50 m^2/g was annealed at 440 °C in He gas containing 8% O_2 and 0.1% NO, the formation of Sr(NO_3)_2 was observed by IR measurement, ion-chromatography analysis and ICP analysis. The formation mechanism of Sr(NO_3)_2 was examined by considering the thermodynamic equilibrium. Based on the results of the thermodynamic calculation, H_2O dissolved into SrZr_0.9Yb_0.1O_3−α was estimated to play an important role in the reaction for the formation of Sr(NO_3)_2 between SrZr_0.9Yb_0.1O_3−α and NO_x.
