In order to better understand the role of nitrogen anions in solid electrolytes, we measured the transference number of nitrogen in yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) by a concentration cell technique as a function of oxygen activity at different temperatures in the range of 1023 <= T/K <= 1123. YSZ doped with 1.9 wt% of N (YSZ: N) turned out to have an appreciable nitrogen transference number, which increased from 0 to 0.1 with decreasing oxygen activity in the range of -20 < loga(O2) < -14. The stability of N in YSZ: N, however, has yet to be elucidated under oxidizing conditions.enIn Copyrightnitrogenmobilityelectrochemical activitytransference numberyttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ)ddc:540
