用甘氨酸法制备了堆积密度小于0.35%的疏松(Y2O3)0.08(ZrO2)0.02(YSZ)陶瓷粉体.研究了预烧温度对初级粉体的晶体结构、晶粒大小、比表面积、粉体形貌和烧结性能的影响,进一步研究预烧温度对YSZ烧结体电导率的影响.随着预烧温度的升高,粉体的晶粒尺寸增加,比表面积减小,烧结体的相对密度减小,粉体的多孔疏松程度降低.700℃预烧粉体的生坯最易致密化,得到的YSZ烧结样品具有最高电导率,其值在800℃时为0.029S·cm^-1.同时以700℃预烧的粉体为原材料,用共压共烧工艺,制备阳极支撑的厚度为10-20μm的YSZ电解质薄膜.以YSZ薄膜为基础的单电池在700℃下的最大功率密度达到470mW/cm^2.
Highly porous (Y2O3 ) 0. 08 (ZrO2) 0.92 (YSZ) powders were synthesized with a glycine-nitrate process for the fabrication of dense YSZ films as electrolytes of intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel ceils (SOFCs). The effect of pre-heating temperature of green powders was investigated regarding the phase structure, crystallite size, specific surface area, sintering behavior, electrical conductivity and microstructure of derived YSZ. With the increase of pre-heating temperature, the crystalline size increased, the specific surface area and the density of the sintered YSZ pellets decreased while the powder became less porous. YSZ powder pre-heated at 700 ℃ showed the highest sinterability and the corresponding pellet had the highest conductivity, 0. 029 S · cm^-1 at 800℃. In addition, YSZ thin films were prepared by a co-pressing and co-sintering process with powder pre-heated at 700℃. Single ceils were formed based on the films. Maximum power density of 470 mW/cm^2 was generated at 700 ℃ with humidified (3%H2O) H2 as the fuel.
