Preparation and Properties of Electrically Conducting Ceramics Based on Indium Oxide-Rare Earth Oxides-Hafnium Oxides

摘要

Electrically conducting refractory oxides based on adding indium oxide to rare earth-stabilized hafnium oxide are being studied for use in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generators, fuel cells, and thermoelectric generators. The use of indium oxide generally increases the electrical conductivity. The results of measurements of the electrical conductivity and data on corrosion resistance in molten salts are presented.
