内容简介：
Progress in the development of oxygen ion and mixed conductors is responsible for innovations in gas sensors, fuel cells, oxygen permeation membranes, oxygen pumps and electrolyzers. Commercialization has been impeded by material stability and compatibility issues, high fabrication costs and an inadequate understanding of the inter facial phenomena controlling the operation of the devices. Here, a group of experts cover all the key topical areas, ranging from fundamentals relating to defects, electrochemical and inter facial processes, catalysis, electro catalysis and gas reforming, to design and fabrication, including advanced electro ceramic processing methods, materials selection and optimization, and applications including scale-up, commercialization and competitive technologies. This book is suitable for materials scientists, chemists, physicists and chemical and electrical engineers, either first entering the field or active within it.
