High Temperature Fabrication of Nanostructured Yttria-Stabilized-Zirconia (YSZ) Scaffolds by <em>In Situ</em> Carbon Templating Xerogels

Abstract: We demonstrate a method for the high temperature fabrication of porous, nanostructured yttria-stabilized-zirconia (YSZ, 8 mol% yttria - 92 mol% zirconia) scaffolds with tunable specific surface areas up to 80 m·g. An aqueous solution of a zirconium salt, yttrium salt, and glucose is mixed with propylene oxide (PO) to form a gel. The gel is dried under ambient conditions to form a xerogel. The xerogel is pressed into pellets and then sintered in an argon atmosphere. During sintering, a YSZ ceramic phase forms a… Show more

“…Material preparation.-NanoYSZ was generated via an in situ carbon templating processing method, which has also been shown to generate ultra-high surface area particles for other SOFC relevant mixed-metal-oxides including GDC, LSCF, and strontium titanate. [17][18][19][20] The in situ carbon templating method involves two steps. First, a hybrid inorganic-organic material containing stoichiometric amounts of metal components of the desired mixed-metaloxide is heat treated at 850 °C-1350 °C in an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon.…”

“…This method produces high surface area mixedmetal-oxides by heating hybrid inorganic-organic materials to 850 °C-1350 °C in nitrogen or argon followed by oxidation at 700 °C in air. [17][18][19] As stated previously, nanoYSZ is a pure oxygen ion conductor and has virtually no electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction. Similar to reports on infiltrated MIECs, the addition of nanoYSZ lowered the cathode reaction impedance by 40%.…”

“…YSZ-Propylene Oxide-Glucose (YSZ-POG) hybrid materials were prepared following the same procedure that was used in our previously reported works. [1][2][3][4] Briefly, stoichiometric amounts of ZrCl 4 (99.5+%, Alfa Aesar), Y(NO 3 ) 3 •6H 2 O (99.9%, Alfa Aesar), and glucose (≥ 99.9%, Alfa Aesar) were sequentially dissolved in deionized water and magnetically stirred until complete dissolution. Propylene Oxide (PO, ≥ 99.5%, Sigma-Aldrich) was then added to the solution and stirred for about five minutes, after which a translucent yellow gel formed.…”

“…We recently developed a processing method that produces high surface area mixed-metal-oxides (up to 99 m 2 • g −1 ) in the 850 • C-1350 • C temperature range. [1][2][3][4] The processing method is referred to as the in situ carbon templating method and has been shown to work for numerous ceramics used in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrodes, including yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC), lanthanum-strontium-cobalt-iron-oxide (LSCF), and strontium titanate (STO). The in situ carbon templating method involves two steps.…”
