ABSTRACT |
Porous YSZ ceramics are fabricated using 3 mol% yittria-stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) and NiO with different particlesizes (0.6 and 7 ${mu}m$). Nickel oxide (NiO) is added to the YSZ powder as a pore former with different amounts(40, 50, and 60 vol%) and at different sintering temperatures (1350 and $1400^{circ}C$) are applied in order to evaluate the temperature effects on the pore and mechanical properties. Heat treatment is conducted after sintering at $700^{circ}C$ in $H_2$ for the NiO reduction process; then, Ni is removed using a $HNO_3$ etchant solution. According to the NiO contentand sintering temperatures, 41-67% porous YSZ ceramic is obtained and the flexural strength increases, while the porosity decreases with an increasing sintering temperature. The optimum flexural strength ($136.5{pm}13.4MPa$) and porosity (47%) for oxygen transport porous YSZ membrane can be obtained with 40 vol% of 7 ${mu}m$ NiO particle at a sintering temperature of $1350^{circ}C$. |
