Abstract in another language
Ceria-zirconia mixed oxides (CZO) are oxygen storage materials. They are an elementary part of three-way catalysts (TWC) in modern gasoline vehicles. Previous studies showed that the oxygen storage level of a TWC can be operando determined using microwave technology. To investigate the dielectric behavior of CZO under microwave conditions in more detail, Ce1-xZrxO2-δ powders were studied in a microwave resonator specifically designed for high temperatures in a wide oxygen partial pressure (pO2) range. Dielectric properties of the CZO powders were analyzed between pO2≈ 10-25 bar and pO2≈ 0.2 bar at 600 °C. Under oxidizing conditions, a lower pO2 led to an increase in conductivity, which is likely related to an activated small-polaron hopping mechanism due to oxygen vacancy formation. Under reducing conditions, only small changes in conductivity were observed, which is probably attributed to a suppression of the hopping mechanism by higher non-stoichiometries δ ([Ce3+] ≈ [Ce4+]). Additionally, comparison with data of pure ceria suggests that the formation of oxygen vacancies in CZO is hardly dependent on the microstructure. The results of the study provide further insight into CZO and may contribute to better understand the defect chemistry of CZO and to improve the control of three-way catalysts using microwave technology.
