In this paper, the impact of partial substitution of calcium for barium in (Ba1-xCax)(M0.9Y0.1)O3, M = Ce, Zr on physicochemical properties of the powders and sintered samples was investigated. The powders, with various contents of calcium (x = 0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1), were prepared by means of thermal decomposition of organometallic precursors containing EDTA. All of the BaCeO3-based powders synthesised at 1100 degrees C were monophasic with a rhombohedral structure, however, completely cubic BaZrO3-based solid solutions were obtained at 1200 degrees C. A study of the sinterability of BaZr0.9Y0.1O3 and BaCe0.9Y 0.1O3-based pellets was performed under non-isothermal conditions within a temperature range of 25 to 1200 degrees C. The partial substitution of barium for calcium in the (Ba1-xCax)(M0.9Y0.1)O-3, M = Ce, Zr solid solution improved the sinterability of the samples in comparison to the initial BaCe0.9Y 0.1O3 or BaZr0.9Y 0.1 O3. The relative density of calcium-modified BaCe0.9Y 0.1O3-based samples reached approximately 95 to 97 % after sintering at 1500 degrees C for 2 h in air. The same level of relative density was achieved after sintering calcium-modified BaZr0.9Y 0.1O3-at 1600 degrees C for 2 h. Analysis of the electrical conductivity from both series of investigated materials showed that the highest ionic conductivity, in air and wet 5 % H2 in Ar, was attained for the compositions of x = 0.02 to 0.05 (Ba1-xCax)(M0.9Y0.1)O3, M = Zr, Ce. The oxygen reduction reaction on the interface Pt vertical bar BaM0.9Y 0.1O3, M = Ce, Zr was investigated using Pt microelectrodes. Selected samples of (Ba1-xCax)(M0.9Y0.1)O3, M = Zr, Ce were tested as ceramic electrolytes in hydrogen-oxygen solid oxide fuel cells operating at temperatures of 700 to 850 degrees C.
