Microstructure, phase structure, and electrical properties of nitrided 3 mol% Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 (3YSZ)

Effect of Sintering Under CO+N ₂/H ₂ and CO ₂+Air Atmospheres on the Physicochemical Features of a Commercial Nano-YSZ

“…The volume decrease, if we compare our results with that by Yashima et al [22], is in accordance with the previous study by Akgenc and Cagin [23] that observed a linear decrease in the YSZ cell volume when oxygen vacancies increase due to the increasing dopant concentration (Y 2 O 3 in that case). In this study, the increase in oxygen vacancies can be due to the incorporation of C and/or N in the YSZ lattice as it was observed in previous works [24][25][26][27]. Xiang et al [24] observed the formation of a solid solution of carbon atoms in the tetragonal zirconia lattice exhibiting a significant oxygen deficiency.…”

Carbon-Coated Yttria Hollow Spheres as Both Sulfur Immobilizer and Catalyst of Polysulfides Conversion in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

“…Therefore, as possible candidates, rare earth oxides can play crucial roles in effectively restricting polysulfides and improving the electrochemical performance. Meanwhile, rare earth oxides usually have high catalytic activity and thus can be used as a highly efficient catalyst to accelerate the transformation of polysulfides to Li 2 S, which contribute to reduce the concentration of polysulfides in electrolyte and accelerate the transmission of Li + ion. , Rare earth elements possess unique properties due to the special electronic structures, and their application in the filed of energy storage is a huge opportunity to link the energy storage to rare earth chemistry . For example, Li and co-workers reported many rare earth oxides for the study of Li–S batteries, such as Y 2 O 3 , Nd 2 O 3 , and Sm 2 O 3 .…”

Interface Dynamic Investigation of Nitrogen Doped 3YSZ (3YSZ:N)

“…[8][9][10][11] Y-Zr-O-N, Mg-Zr-O-N and Ca-Zr-O-N systems have been extensively investigated. Mo 12 measured the electronic conductivity of YSZ:N by the barrier electrode method and found that the electron conductivity decreases first and then increases with increasing nitrogen content. Deghenghi 13 and Chung 14 investigated the reaction of polycrystalline tetragonal YSZ with nitrogen at elevated temperatures.…”
