Studies on electrophoretic deposition of nanocrystalline SDC electrolyte films

Preparation and characterization of nanostructured ZnO thin film by electrophoretic deposition from ZnO colloidal suspensions

“…minute. This behavior is typical of a deposition process at constant voltage, as discussed in the literature [18,19]. The rate of deposition over time, according to weight, correlates inversely with the deposition current density over time.…”

Acetone mediated electrophoretic deposition of nanocrystalline SDC on NiO-SDC ceramics

“…In the present work, synthesis of SDC thin film on NiO-SDC substrates in acetone medium by EPD and their characterization has been reported. The work is in continuation with our earlier report of SDC film formation on stainless steel substrate [23]. Acetone medium is chosen for the formation of SDC colloidal suspension due to low viscosity and [24].…”

“…The starting materials were Sm2O3 (purity ∼99.99%), Ce (NO3)2·6H2O (purity 99.95%), Ni (NO3)2 (purity ∼99.99%), PVA (-C2H4O)n from Loba chemicals, India. The detailed synthesis of SDC nanopowder is reported elsewhere [23]. Acetone (electronic grade, 99.99% pure) as solvent and solid iodine as an additive were used for the preparation of SDC suspension.…”

“…The optimized concentration of SDC in acetone was 30 mg/30 ml, confirmed by optical method. The detailed experiment is reported in our earlier work [23].…”

Relaxation studies of bulk samarium doped ceria electrolyte

“…Nanocrystalline SDC powder of phase Ce 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 1.9 prepared from solution combustion method [22] was resulted by calcinations at about 1,023 K for 2 h. The powder was homogenized by grinding it up to 15 min in agate mortar. The disk-shaped pellets, free from binder, was prepared by pressing the powder under a load of 10 tones for 5 min.…”
