Synthesis of BaSnO3/SnO2 Nanocomposites as Heterogeneous Additive for Composite Solid Electrolytes

详细

Method of differential thermal analysis was used to study the thermolysis of a mixture of barium oxalate hydrate and α-SnO₂·H₂O, produced by precipitation from hydrochloric solutions. The methods of X-ray diffraction analysis, electron microscopy, and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption were used to examine the reaction products formed at various heating temperatures and determine their phase composition. The nanocomposite BaSnO₃/SnO₂ is the final product of thermolysis and subsequent heating to 950°C. The nanocomposite was used as a heterogeneous oxide additive for obtaining a CsNO₂–BaSnO₃/SnO₂ composite solid electrolyte. The conductivity of the composite exceeds that of the starting salt by more than order of magnitude.
