On the synthesis of yttria-stabilized zirconia: a comparative study

Novel synthetic approach to the preparation of single-phase BixLa1−xMnO3+δ solid solutions

“…Different fuels and fuel to oxidant ratios can be used in order to obtain nano-sized powders with controllable morphological features [29,30]. Previously this method was successfully utilized for the synthesis of high-quality single [31,32] and mixed-metal oxide materials [33][34][35] with magnetic and electrical properties. Different bi-and tri-metallic manganites with magnetic properties were also prepared by sol-gel combustion using glycine-nitrate method [36][37][38].…”

Ionic–gelation synthesis of gadolinium doped ceria (Ce 0.8 Gd 0.2 O 1.90 ) nanocomposite powder using sodium-alginate

“…Depending on the operating temperature range, SOFC are classified into low, intermediate, and high temperature categories. The conventional SOFCs operating at 1000°C are mainly fabricated using yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) as the electrolyte material [3,4]. The operation of SOFCs at such high temperatures is susceptible to a number of drawbacks such as higher costs, lower flexibility in the fabrication of electrodes, more thermal degradation, and more crack formation due to the larger thermal stress of the cell components [1,[5][6][7][8].…”

Solid electrolytes based on {1 − (x + y)}ZrO 2 -(x)MgO-(y)CaO ternary system: Preparation, characterization, ionic conductivity, and dielectric properties

“…4. The SEM image (a) of pure zirconia clearly demonstrate that powder consist of irregular shape agglomerates covered by smaller particles [26]. After substitution of Mg to ZrO 2, smooth and uniform surface was obtained.…”
