Abstract
Dense ceramic samples of BaCe1−x
Ca
x
O3−α (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) have been synthesized by heat treating the precursor prepared from a microemulsion route under lower calcining and sintering temperatures than traditional high-temperature solid-state reaction. The samples exhibited single phase of orthorhombic perovskite. It was found that the samples were almost pure proton conductors in wet hydrogen at 300–600 °C. Ammonia was synthesized successfully from nitrogen and hydrogen gases at atmospheric pressure using BaCe0.9Ca0.1O3−α as an electrolyte of ammonia synthesis reactor.
