  2. 1. Ionic Transport in Metal Oxides Studied in situ by Impedance Spectroscopy and Cyclic Voltammetry

    Author : Johan Öijerholm; Jinshan Pan; Jürgen Fleig; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ionic transport; alumina; zirconia; in situ impedance spectroscopy; molecular dynamics; high temperature cyclic voltammetry; spark plasma sintering; initial oxidation; FeCrAl alloy; grain size; space charge model.; Electrochemistry; Elektrokemi;

    Abstract : Ionic transport in metal oxides is crucial for the functioning of a broad range of different components, such as heat resistant alloys designed for high temperature applications and oxide electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells. This thesis presents results from in situ electrochemical studies of properties related to ionic transport in metal oxides that are important for their applications as protective oxides and ionic conductors.
