Ultrasonic agitation is a very efficient method for deagglomeration and dispersion of ceramic slurries (alumina and barium titanate). The influence of parameters such as acoustic power, temperature, and treatment duration on the dispersion efficiency has been studied. For

We show manufacturing of 25 cm 2 BZCY half-cells by tape-casting assemblies with electrolyte thickness 10–20 μm. BaY NiO 5 transient liquid phase formation is analysed and proton conductivity values σ = 0.003 S −1 at 600 °C shown.

In current paper we demonstrate the applicability of high viscous oligomeric alkoxide concentrates in fabrication of technologically interesting structures like nanometer diameter fibers (down to 200 nm), nanoneedles (tip radii 15-25 nm) and some micrometers wide linear surface structures. The approach is cost-effective and simple as it utilizes low-cost precursor materials (metal alkoxides) co...
