NKN doped samples, (100-x)NKN-xSBN (0 ≤ x ≤ 10) were produced using the conventional mixed oxide route with 0.45 wt% Fe2O3 sintering aid (xSBNF). After 20-24 hours mixing, samples were calcined at 850°C and sintered at 1100–1140°C (± 180°C/hour) for 4 hours. By XRD 4 mol% SBN wa…

Novel ceramic membrane cells of BaCe₀.₅Zr₀.₃Y₀.₁₆Zn₀.₀₄O[subscript(3-δ)] (BCZYZ), a proton-conducting oxide, have been developed for electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis. Unlike the industrial Haber-Bosch process, in this work an attempt to synthesise ammonia at atmospheric pressu…
