Preparation and crystalline qualities of SrTiO3 and CeO2 buffer layers fabricated on Ni substrates via a sol–gel method for YBCO coated conductors

Properties of Flame Sprayed Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9‐δ Electrolyte Thin Films

“…Similar findings have been reported by Wang et al34 who deposited CeO 2 films on silicon substrates by spray pyrolysis using a salt solution of ethanol–water mixture followed by pyrolysis in flowing air. Furthermore, Cheng et al35 found that a bi‐axially aligned cube‐textured CeO 2 buffer layer with (002) texture could be grown over a wide processing temperature range and especially found the in‐plane (002) texture for high temperature annealing. The influence of the precursor solvent on the texture of combustion synthesized ceria films was pointed out earlier 18.…”

Controlled homogeneity of the precursor gel in the synthesis of SrTiO3 nanoparticles by an epoxide assisted sol–gel route

“…The first is the preparation of individual sols of Ti and Sr that are then mixed to form the binary sol [19]. The other way is to coordinate Ti and Sr ions to organic molecules, minimizing the difference in the chemical reactivity, resulting in precursor gels with much higher homogeneity [20][21][22][23]. However, the large amount of organic matter in the precursor gel must be removed in order to obtain the mixed oxide, presenting a great disadvantage, and making these procedures only suitable for the preparation of film, and not for synthesis of nanoparticles.…”

Growth Mechanism, Microstructure, and Surface Modification of Nanostructured CeO2 Films by Chemical Solution Deposition

“…Recently, CSD growth of CeO 2 buffers on single-crystal substrates [14,15] and metal tapes has received considerable attention owing to its high potential for coated-conductor development. On metal tapes growth has been achieved on IBAD-grown yttria-stabilized ZrO 2 (YSZ; IBAD = ionbeam-assisted deposition) templates on stainless-steel tapes (YSZ IBAD /SS), [16] and biaxially textured Ni and Ni-W. [17][18][19][20] However, the details of the nucleation and growth mechanism of CeO 2 by CSD remain unexplored. A mandatory constraint imposed by metallic substrates comes from the need to avoid substrate oxidation.…”
