Thin Films: On Proton Conductivity in Porous and Dense Yttria Stabilized Zirconia at Low Temperature (Adv. Funct. Mater. 15/2013)

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (3Y-TZP) containing 0.25% Al2O3, which is resistant to low temperature degradation (LTD), was aged for 10 h at 130–220 °C in air. The aged specimens were subsequently indented at loads ranging from 9.8 to 490 N using a Vickers indenter. The influence of preaging temperature on the biaxial strength of the specimens was investigated to elucidate the relationship between the extent of LTD and the strength of zirconia restorations that underwent LTD. The indented strength of the specimens increased as the preaging temperature was increased higher than 160 °C, which was accompanied by extensive t-ZrO2 (t) to m-ZrO2 (m) and c-ZrO2 (c) to r-ZrO2 (r) phase transformations. The influence of preaging temperature on the indented strength was rationalized by the residual stresses raised by the t→m transformation and the reversal of tensile residual stress on the aged specimen surface due to the indentation. The results suggested that the longevity of restorations would not be deteriorated if the aged restorations retain compressive residual stress on the surface, which corresponds to the extent of t→m phase transformation less than 52% in ambient environment.

Hard Template Method

A mixed potential-type NO2 sensor was fabricated using yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) as the electrolyte and mesoporous WO3 as the sensing electrode for the detection of NO2 in vehicle exhausts. The mesoporous WO3 with a diameter of 7 nm was synthesized using the hard template method. The sensor showed excellent performance in the detection of 30–500[Formula: see text]ppm of NO2 at 300∘C and 500∘C. However, commercial WO3 only operate well at 500∘C. The response of the mesoporous WO3 was higher and the test temperature was lower compared to that of commercial WO3. XPS combined with NO2-TPD was used to explain the high activity of mesoporous WO3 at medium-low temperature, and the mechanism of mixed electromotive force was verified by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Furthermore, the sensor exhibited high NO2 selectivity in the presence of interfering gases, such as NO, CO, CO2 and NH3. Most importantly, the sensor had excellent repeatability and stability.
