This paper reports that the transported entropy of oxygen ion S*{sub O{sup 2}}-, in yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) has been determined from measurements of Seebeck coefficients of the cell (T{sub 1},p)(Pt)O{sub 2}(g){vert bar}YSZ{vert bar}O{sub 2}(g)(Pt)(T{sub 2},p). The value obtained, 51 J K{sup {minus}1} F{sup {minus}1}, is substantially different from results for YSZ which can be calculated from other investigations. The value does not vary with oxygen pressure, in accordance with results obtained for calcia-stabilized zirconia. The results indicate that the sintering temperature for YSZ is important for obtaining uniform temperature conditions in fuel cells.
