Role of grain size on redox induced compositional stresses in Pr doped ceria thin films

In constrained geometries and in varying oxygen partial pressures and operating temperatures, exchange of oxygen ions between non-stoichiometric oxide thin films (for example, doped and undoped ceria systems) and the gas phase can lead to stresses. In this study, these compositional stresses were investigated in thin films of nanocrystalline 10% praseodymium doped ceria (PCO), as a function of average grain size. In situ wafer curvature measurements, along with High Temperature X-Ray Diffraction (HTXRD), were employed to measure stresses and strains, respectively on the PCO films during oxidation–reduction cycling, over the pO2 range of 10−1–10−5 atm at 750 °C. For relatively large grain sizes, the stress values agree well with the amount of expansion induced by oxygen non-stoichiometry (chemical expansion) predicted by a thin film defect equilibria model that was developed previously. The compositional stresses were found to increase with decreasing grain size. The origin of this effect, including the role of space charge effects near surfaces and interfaces are discussed in this paper. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such comparisons are reported by simultaneously employing high temperature in situ wafer curvature and HTXRD measurements on doped ceria systems.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
