Oxide films by combustion pyrolysis of solution precursors

Thin films for micro solid oxide fuel cells

“…On burning in the combustion flame, collision and sintering of the particles in the flame occurs and a coating is formed on the substrate placed in or near the tip of the flame. CGO and samarium strontium cobaltite (SSC) [77], YSZ [78,79], pure cerium oxide [80] and LSM [81] have been produced by this technique.…”

Synthesis and characterization of Y3Al5O12 and ZrO2–Y2O3 thermal barrier coatings by combustion spray pyrolysis

“…A detailed description on sample preparation and the experimental set up of the flame pyrolysis are given elsewhere [13]. In brief, the experimental arrangement consists of an atomizer, a separation chamber, a flame torch and a substrate holder connected with a K-type thermocouple for measuring the substrate temperature.…”

“…The former is favoured for land based turbines while the latter is preferred for aero-engines. Among the various alternative coating processes that are industrially available, flame assisted spray pyrolysis has many advantages for producing oxide [13] and other films. Flame pyrolysis is an inexpensive open-air technique, which does not require any vacuum chamber.…”

Advanced Flame Spray Pyrolysis (FSP) Technologies for Engineering Multifunctional Nanostructures and Nanodevices

“…The porosity of such films can either remain intact or transform into denser formations through a sintering process, contingent on the substrate's temperature. The nanofilm deposition procedure can be clarified in the research work of Kavitha et al where they produced TiO 2 , ZnO [96], and Al 2 O 3 , ZnO, ZnO-20 mol% MgO, and ZrO 2 -Y 2 O 3 [97] films. Films of the aforementioned oxides were applied onto amorphous silica bases measuring 10 mm × 10 mm.…”
