Rare earth zirconia-based electrolytes were investigated by molecular dynamics simulation in a spanning temperature of 1373 K to 1873 K in order to evaluate whether dopant size plays any role in ionic conductivity of oxygen ions. A new aspect...

Nd2–xHoxZr2O7 is an ionic conductor for solid oxide fuel cell electrolytes. Temperature and dopant composition are two main factors that affect ionic conductivity of these groups of materials. Accordingly, Nd2–xHoxZr2O7 was studied in a wide range...
