Internal Nano Voids in Yttria-Stabilised Zirconia (YSZ) Powder
Porous yttria-stabilised zirconia ceramics have been gaining popularity throughout the years in various fields, such as energy, environment, medicine, etc. Although yttria-stabilised zirconia is a well-studied material, voided yttria-stabilised zirconia powder particles have not been demonstrated yet, and might play an important role in future technology developments. A sol-gel synthesis accomp...
متن کاملSurface oxygen exchange between yttria-stabilised zirconia and a low-temperature oxygen rf-plasma
Isotope Exchange/Depth Profiling (IEDP) using Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) has been used to determine the oxygen tracer diffusion and surface exchange coefficients of (100) oriented 9.5 mol% yttria stabilised zirconia single crystals. Exchange experiments performed with molecular oxygen are compared with the exchange using an oxygen plasma. The surface exchange coefficient for specime...
متن کاملMicrostructural Design of Sensor Materials Using the Core-shell Concept
An yttria stabilised zirconia which exhibits a coreshell microstructure was investigated as a method to produce a zirconia with high ionic conductivity and improved thermal shock resistance. Zirconia grains consist of an outer shell of tetragonal zirconia with an inner core of monoclinic phase zirconia. Impedance spectroscopy was used to identify the eect of processing conditions on the grain ...
متن کاملOn the conduction pathway for protons in nanocrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia.
In this communication we elucidate a microstructural picture of proton conduction in nano-crystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia at low temperatures (Kim et al. Adv. Mater., 2008, 20, 556). Based on careful analysis of electrical impedance spectra obtained from samples with grain sizes of approximately 13 and approximately 100 nm under both wet and dry atmospheres over a wide range of temperatu...
متن کاملTensile Lattice Distortion Does Not Significantly Affect Oxygen Transport in Yttria-stabilized Zirconia (YSZ)– CeO2 Hetero-Interfaces
Biaxially-textured epitaxial thin-film hetero-structures of ceria and 8 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) were grown using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) with the aim to unravel the effect of the interfacial conductivity on the charge transport properties. Five different samples were fabricated keeping the total thickness constant (300 nm) but with a different number of hetero-interfaces (b...
