Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) is one of the ceramic materials with high potential in many areas of modern technologies. ZrO2 doped with 8 wt.% (~4.5 mol%) Y2O3 is a commercial powder used for obtaining stabilized zirconia materials (8 wt.% YSZ) with high temperature resistance and good ionic conductivity. During recent years it was reported the co-doping with multiple rare earth elements has a significant influence on the thermal, mechanical and ionic conductivity of zirconia, due complex grain size segregation and enhanced oxygen vacancies mobility. Different methods have been proposed to synthesize these materials. Here, we present the hydrothermal synthesis of 8 wt.% (~4.5 mol%) YSZ co-doped with 4, 6 and 8 wt.% La2O3, Nd2O3, Sm2O3 and Gd2O3 respectively. The crystalline phases formed during their thermal treatment in a large temperature range were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The evolution of phase composition vs. thermal treatment temperatures shows as a major trend the formation at temperatures >1000 °C of a cubic solid solutions enriched in the rare earth oxide used for co-doping as major phase. The first results on the thermal conductivities and impedance measurements on sintered pellets obtained from powders co-doped with 8 wt.% Y and 6% Ln (Ln = La, Nd, Sm and Gd) and the corresponding activation energies are presented and discussed. The lowest thermal conductivity was obtained for La co-doped 8 wt.% YSZ while the lowest activation energy for ionic conduction for Gd co-doped 8 wt.% YSZ materials.

Herein, we synthesized a new polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based solid polymer electrolyte containing a rare earth oxide, CeO2, using mechanical metallurgy to prepare an encapsulation bonding material for MEMS. The effects of CeO2 content (0–15 wt.%) on the anodic bonding properties of the composites were investigated. Samples were analyzed and characterized by alternating current impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, tensile strength tests, and anodic bonding experiments. CeO2 reduced the crystallinity of the material, promoted ion migration, increased the conductivity, increased the peak current of the bonding process, and increased the tensile strength. The maximum bonding efficiency and optimal bonding layer were obtained at 8 wt% CeO2. This study expands the applications of solid polymer electrolytes as encapsulation bonding materials.

The effect of CeO2 modification on flame sprayed nickel-tungsten carbide (WC) coatings was investigated. The modified coatings exhibited smaller grain sizes of the ceramic phase due to enhanced dissolution of the WC phase. The rare earth doped coatings, especially Ni-WC +0.9% wt. CeO2, showed superior abrasive wear resistance with respect to the unmodified coating mainly due to enhanced hardness. Coating modified with 0.6% wt. CeO2 demonstrated superior erosion resistance at both impact angles, 30 deg and 90 deg, respectively, primarily due to low porosity levels. Microstructural examination showed different wear mechanisms in conventional and doped coatings.
