Abstract

BaCe0.25Zr0.60Co0.15O3-x (BCZC) was synthesized via oxalate co-precipitation route. Material was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Catalytic activity of BCZC with respect to hydrogen generation via methanol partial oxidation was determined. Conductivity of the material at different temperatures and under different environments was determined by AC impedance spectroscopy. XRD and TEM results indicated that BCZC was synthesized as a homogeneous cubic phase material. Catalyst tests indicated that BCZC was catalytically active towards hydrogen generation and AC impedance results were positive enough to warrant further electrochemical studies.
