Abstract:The entirely accidental observation of increased sintering performance of nickel-infiltrated yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) in a molybdenum and oxygen rich atmosphere was explored. Molybdenum and nickel were found to be synergistic sintering aids for 8YSZ. However, sintering had to take place in an atmosphere of flowing oxygen. Samples sintered in air consistently burst. The sintering performance, microstructure, and crystal structure of 8YSZ with additions of both Mo and Ni together are compared to the sin… Show more
“…An interesting contribution regarding the development of materials used as electrodes of electrochemical devices, such as fuel cells, is reported in [3]. The study was carried out on the assumption that the sintering of the stabilized Zr oxide with Y oxide occurs in certain conditions of T and the presence of air rich in O 2 and Ni (named 8YSZ).…”
