AbstractOxygen ion conducting yttria-stabilized zirconia and perovskite-type Sr-doped LaMnO3 have been widely used as solid electrolyte and cathode materials in solid oxide fuel cells. The electrochemical properties of the cathode depend largely on the nanostructure and the phase composition of the interface between cathode and electrolyte. Interfaces between single crystals of 9.5mol% Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 and porous La0.85Sr0.15MnyO3 (y = 0.95…1.10) were investigated. Atomic force microscopy was used for interface studies of YSZ single crystals after removal of sintered perovskite cathodes. High resolution transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed for interface characterization. Pyrochlore-type lanthanum zirconate formed at the interface during sintering at 1100°C. Nucleation, growth kinetics, and morphology were largely depending on cathode stoichiometry. Lanthanum zirconate formation was retarded in case of A-site deficient perovskite.

In this work, Yttria (Y2O3) was successfully doped into tetragonal 3mol% yttria stabilized Zirconia (3YSZ) by high energy-mechanical milling to synthesize 8mol% yttria stabilized Zirconia (8YSZ) used as an electrolyte for high temperature solid oxide fuel cells (HT-SOFC). This work aims to evaluate the densification and ionic conductivity of the sintered electrolytes at 1650°C. The bulk density was measured according to ASTM C373-17. The powder morphology and the microstructure of the sintered electrolytes were analyzed via Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The chemical analysis was obtained with Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Also, X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to obtain structural information of the starting materials and the sintered electrolytes. The ionic conductivity was obtained through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in the air as a function of temperatures at a frequency range of 100(mHz)-100(kHz). It is found that the 3YSZ has a higher density than the 8YSZ. The impedance analysis showed that the ionic conductivity of the prepared 8YSZ at 800°C is0.906 (S.cm) and it was 0.214(S.cm) of the 3YSZ. Besides, 8YSZ has a lower activation energy 0.774(eV) than that of the 3YSZ 0.901(eV). Thus, the prepared 8YSZ can be nominated as an electrolyte for the HT-SOFC.

Fused filament fabrication is an important additive manufacturing method, for which 3D printers are the most commonly used printing tools. In this method, there are many factors that affect the printing quality, chief among which is temperature. The fusion temperature of the material is created by an aluminum heating block in the extruder. Stability and a constant temperature for the aluminum heating block are inevitable requirements for print quality. This study aims to use the thermal barrier coating method to increase the thermal efficiency and stability of the aluminum heating block by reducing heat loss. Furthermore, it aims to perform steady-state thermal analysis using finite element analysis software. The analyses are carried out in stagnant air environment and at the printing temperature of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene material. In order to examine the effects of different coating materials, blocks coated with two different coating materials, as well as uncoated blocks, were used in the analyses. The coating made with yttria-stabilized zirconia and pyrochlore-type lanthanum zirconate materials, together with the NiCRAl bond layer, prevent temperature fluctuation by preventing heat loss. The effects of the coating method on average heat flux density, temperature distribution of blocks, and temperature distribution of the filament tube hole were investigated. Additionally, changes in flow velocity were determined by examining the effects of the thermal barrier coating method on temperature distribution. The average heat flux density in the coated blocks decreased by 10.258%. Throughout the investigation, the temperature distributions in the coated blocks became homogeneous. It was also observed that both coating materials produce the same effect. This article performs a steady-state thermal analysis of a conventional model and thermal-barrier-coated models to increase print quality by reducing heat loss from the aluminum heating block.

In some applications such as automotive oxygen sensor, 5mol% Y2O3stabilized zirconia (5YSZ) is generally used because it has both excellent ionic conductivity and mechanical properties. The automotive oxygen sensor would experience a cyclic change from high temperature (engine running) environment to the low temperature damp environment (in the tail pipe when vehicle stops). The conductivity change with coupled conditions of thermal cycle and dump environment in the 5mol%Y2O3ZrO2(5YSZ) system was examined by XRD,Impedance spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (SEM) in this paper.

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.
