With increasing of the world energy crisis, research for new, renewable and
alternative energy sources are in growth. The focus is on research areas,
sometimes of minor importance and applications, where the different synthesis
methods and microstructure properties optimization, performed significant
improvement of output materials’ and components’ electro-physical properties,
which is important for higher energy efficiency and in the electricity
production (batteries and battery systems, fuel cells and hydrogen energy)
contribution. Also, the storage tanks capacity improvement, for the energy
produced on such way, which is one of the most important development issues
in the energy sphere, represents a very promising research and application
area. Having in mind, the results achieved in the electrochemical energy
sources field, especially electrolyte development, these energy sources,
materials fractal nature optimization analysis contribution, have been
investigated. Based on materials fractal structure research field,
particularly electronic materials, we have performed microstructure influence
parameters research in electrochemistry area. We have investigated the Ho2O3
concentration influence (from 0.01wt% to 1wt%) and sintering temperature
(from 1320°C to 1380°C), as consolidation parameters, and thus, also open the
electrochemical function fractalization door and in the basic thermodynamic
parameters the fractal correction introduced. The fractal dimension
dependence on additive concentration is also investigated.
