BCZY powder of composition BaCe0.8Zr0.1Y0.1O3-δ, was synthesized by nitrate-glycine method as described in previous work [1]. Stoichiometric amounts of metal nitrate salts precursors: Ba(NO3)2, Ce(NO3)3, ZrO(NO3)2, and Y(NO)3 were dissolved separately in deionized water under stirring on a hot-plate then mixed together. Glycine, used as the fuel of the autocombustion reaction, is added to the mixture with a subsequent use of an ammonia solution to neutralize the pH. The final solution is heated at 80℃ under magnetic stirring until evaporation of water and formation of a viscous gel, which was burned into powder by self-combustion. The powder undergoes a further calcination treatment at 1000℃ to remove organic compounds.
