摘要
Titania ceramic materials modified with 5%antimony and 5%tungsten were prepared by the sol芒芒芒gel method. For the antimony-modified material, a treatment with H2O2 was also performed, in order to obtain antimonic acid. The electric conductivity of the xerogels was measured at 25 芒芒C in the relative humidity (RH) range 33芒芒芒81%. At 25 芒芒C, the electrical conductivity of the 芒芒芒as prepared芒芒芒 5%Sb ceramic varies from 2.02芒芒10芒芒芒5 S cm芒芒芒1 at 33%RH to 1.12芒芒10芒芒芒2 S cm芒芒芒1 at 81%R.H. For the material treated with H2O2, the conductivity varies from 1.56芒芒10芒芒芒5 to 2.37芒芒10芒芒芒2 S cm芒芒芒1 for 33%and 81%R.H., respectively. For the tungsten-modified material, the conductivity varies from 1.02芒芒10芒芒芒5 to 2.66芒芒10芒芒芒3 S cm芒芒芒1 for 33%and 81%R.H., respectively. The activation energies observed for proton conduction were 23.5 kJ mol芒芒芒1 for TiO2/W 5%, 22.9 kJ mol芒芒芒1 for TiO2/Sb 5%and 20.6 kJ mol芒芒芒1 for the material treated with H2O2. The highest activation energy was observed for untreated TiO2:24.8 kJ mol芒芒芒1.
