52]. ) the solid electrolyte possesses, the higher the threshold temperature is required for zirconia to be a pure ionic conductor. 43 lg CFe. 98. 001% allows decreasing the lower level of threshold temperature Tt from 740 to 560°C. From a structural perspective, the degree of interface modification is responsible for regulating the kinetics of the emf measurement as a function of its influence on the structural gas permeability of electrodes, which controls the initial rate of physicchemical reactions of adsorption–desorption and diffusion on electrodes.

In the electrochemical form, the chemical potential of electrons represents the Fermi level EF , detaching, by the definition [49], the free conditions from the engaged ones at the absolute zero temperature. The electrical fields at the solid electrolyte-electrode interfaces depend on the chemical potential differences of both mobile species: ions and electrons. The mobility of ions results in variations of the chemical composition of compounds and even in the formation of new interfacial materials, which generate changes in the performance and cause short lifetimes [50].
