Silver electrode having a high Electrocatalytic activity is oxygen-permeable electrode, in which oxygen ad-atoms are adsorbed and moved toward YSZ electrolyte by bulk diffusion. It is the different point in comparison to usual porous electrodes, especially platinum, which react with oxygen only in TPBs(Three Phase Boundaries). Also ad-atoms at TPBs of Pt are diffused to YSZ electrolyte by interfacial diffusion mechanism. These properties were used for turning down the operating temperature of YSZ from over $600^{\circ}C$ to below $450^{\circ}C$. The different heat-treatment temperature between a working electrode and a reference electrode suppresses the formation of silver oxides and reduces a volatility of Ag as well. Above all, these own characteristics and special processes of Ag improved a long-term stability of a oxygen sensor.

금속기판상 초전도 $YBa_2CU_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ (YBCO) 박막을 yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) 완충막을 이용하여 in situ 펄스 레이저 증착법에 의해 증착하였다. YBCO 박막을 직접 금속기판에 증착하게 되면 YBCO 박막과 금속기판 사이의 계면에서 상호확산현상이 발생하기 때문에 이를 방지하기 위해 YSZ 완충막이 사용되었다. YSZ 완충막의 증착온도가 박막의 결정성과 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 YSZ 완충막은 여러 가지 온도로 증착되었다. YBCO 박막의 증착온도와 같은 온도로 YSZ 완충막을 증착했을 때보다 YBCO 박막의 증착온도보다 높은 온도로 YSZ 완충막을 증착했을 경우, 증착된 YBCO 박막은 x선 회절에 의해 c 축 방향으로 성장하였음을 알 수 있었고, 저항이 0이 되는 임계온도가 83K가 되는 실험 결과를 얻었다.

Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin films were prepared by the electrochemical vapor deposition (EVD) method on the porous Al2O3 substrates which were fabricated by different substrate thickness and porosity. Film growth rates decreased with increase on the substrate thickness and porosity and obeyed a parabolic rate law. Activa-tion energy calculated from the parabolic rate onstants was 69.9 kcal/mol. With increase on the deposition time, monoclinic phase was appeared and then disappeared. YSZ penetrated deeply into substrates when the EVD temperature decreased. Electrical conductivity of the films was 0.09 S/cm at 100$0^{\circ}C$ similar to the value of YSZ single crystal.

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)-based micro tubular SOFC single cells were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process. Stable slurries for the EPD process were prepared by adding phosphate ester (PE) as a dispersant in order to control the pH, conductivity, and zeta-potential. NiO-YSZ anode support, NiO-YSZ anode functional layer (AFL), and YSZ electrolyte were consecutively deposited on a graphite rod using the EPD process; materials were then co-sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 4 h. The thickness of the deposited layer increased with increasing of the applied voltage and the deposition time. A YSZ-based micro tubular single cell fabricated by the EPD process exhibited a maximum power density of $0.3W/cm^2$ at $750^{\circ}C$.

Yttria-stablized zirconia (YSZ) is the most commonly used electrolyte material, but the reduction in working temperature leads to insufficient ionic conductivity. Ceria based electrolytes (GDC) are more attractive in terms of conductivity at low temperature, but these materials are well known to be reducible at very low oxygen partial pressure. The reduction of electrolyte resistivity is necessary to overcome cell performance losses. So, thin YSZ/GDC bilayer technology seems suitable for decreasing the electrolyte resistance at lower operating temperatures. Bilayer electrolytes composed of a galdolinium-doped $CeO_2$ ($Ce_{0.9}Gd_{0.1}O_{1.95}$, GDC) layer and yttria-stabilized $ZrO_2$ (YSZ) layer with various thicknesses were deposited by RF sputtering and E-beam evaporation. The bilayer electrolytes were deposited between porous Ni-GDC anode and LSM cathode for anode-supported single cells. Thin film structure and surface morphology were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), using $CuK{\alpha}$-radiation in the range of 2ce morphol$^{\circ}C$. The XRD patterns exhibit a well-formed cubic fluorite structure, and sharp lines of XRD peaks can be observed, which indicate a single solid solution. The morphology and size of the prepared particles were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The performance of the cells was evaluated over $500{\sim}800^{\circ}C$, using humidified hydrogen as fuel, and air as oxidant.

이트리아 안정화 지그코니아(Yttria-stabilized zirconia, YSZ)는 이트리아의 첨가에 의해 지르코니아에 생성된 산소 빈자리(oxygen vacancy)로 $O^{2-}$ 이온이 전도성을 가지게 되는 특징이 알려지면서 최근 고체산화물 연료전지연구에서 많은 관심을 받고 있다.[1] YSZ를 기반으로한 고체산화물 연료전지의 특성을 개선하기 위해서는 YSZ 내에서의 산소교환 메카니즘을 이해하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 $^{18}O2$ 추적 기체(tracer gas) 이용하여 확산된 YSZ박막에서의 산소 확산 거동을 초미세이차이온질량분석기(Nano Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, Nano SIMS)를 이용하여 조사하였다. Nano SIMS는 작은 입사 이온빔의 크기를 구현할 수 있고, 다중검출기를 이용하여 높은 질량분해능으로 간섭없이 산소동위원소를 동시에 모두 검출할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 발표에서는 Nano SIMS를 이용한 YSZ박막에서의 산소 거동 평가 결과를 상세하게 보일 것이다.

The high-temperature stability of YSZ specimens fabricated by die pressure and cold isostatic press (CIP) is investigated in CaCl₂-CaF₂-CaO molten salt at 1,150 ℃. The experimental results are as follows: green density 46.7 % and 50.9 %; sintering density 93.3 % and 99.3 % for die press and CIP, respectively. YSZ foremd by CIP exhibits higher stability than YSZ formed by die press due to denseness dependency after high-temperature stability test. YSZ shows peaks mainly attributed to CaZrO₃, with a small t-ZrO₂ peak, unlike the high-intensity tetragonal-ZrO₂ (t-ZrO₂) peak observed for the asreceived specimen. The t-ZrO₂ phase of YSZ is likely stabilized by Y₂O₃, and the leaching of Y₂O₃ results in phase transformation from t-ZrO₂ to m-ZrO₂. CaZrO₃ likely forms from the reaction between CaO and m-ZrO₂. As the exposure time increases, more CaZrO₃ is observed in the internal region of YSZ, which could be attributed to the inward diffusion of molten salt and outward diffusion of the stabilizer (Y₂O₃) through the pores. This results in greater susceptibility to phase transformation and CaZrO₃ formation. To use SOM anodes for the electroreduction of various metals, YSZ stability must be improved by adjusting the high-density in the forming process.

Ni-YSZ(Yttria Stabilized Zirconia) composite powders를 glycine nitrate process으로 만들었다. 합성된 분말은 $1300{\sim}1400^{\circ}C$ 4시간 동안 소성하였으며 $1000^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 동안 질소 및 수소 분위기에서 환원 소성하여 Ni-YSZ cermet을 제조하였다. Ni의 부피비를 변화 시켜 각기 그들의 미세구조, 전기전도도, 열팽창 및 강도 특성을 알아보았다. Ni과 YSZ 상 사이에 상호 연결된 균질하게 분포된 다공성 미세구조를 얻을 수 있었다. 기공률, 전기전도도, 열팽창계수 및 곡강도 모두 Ni의 양에 민감하게 영향 받는 것을 알 수 있으며 40 vol%의 Ni를 함유한 Ni-YSZ cermet가 전극재료로 가장 적당하였다. $1350^{\circ}C$에서 소성한 40 vol% Ni-YSZ 시편의 경우 30 %의 기공율, 65.5 Mpa의 강도, 917.4 S/cm의 전기 전도도($1000^{\circ}C$)및 $12.6{\times}10^{-6}^{\circ}C^{-1}$의 열팽창계수($1000^{\circ}C$)를 가져 YSZ 전해질의 음극재료로 가장 적합하였다.

Mobilities of electrons ($\mu_p$) and holes ($\mu_p$) in 2, 5, and 10 mol% $TiO_2$-doped yttria stabilized zirconia (TD-YSZ) have been estimated by a non-steady state gas permeation method using models proposed by Weppner and Maruyama. Values of $\mu_n$ and $\mu_p$ were found to be closed to those in non-doped YSZ reported earlier. The concentration of electrons and holes were calculated from $\mu_n$ and $\mu_p$ values and the partial conductivities of electrons and holes measured by a dc-polarization method. The concentration of electrons at unit oxygen partial pressure increased with increasing $TiO_2$concentration, while the hole concentration was almost independent of $TiO_2$concentration.

Monolith aperture-type oxygen sensors with simple structure of YSZ(pin-hole)/Pt/ YSZ(solid electrolyte)/Pt were fabricated by co-firing technique. To enhance the yield of productivity, a couple of YSZ green sheets for diffused barrier and solid electrolyte were prepared by tape-casting and co-firing method. The limit current characteristics of the oxygen sensors were measured between 500 and $650^{\circ}C$ The heating temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ was optimum as a portable oxygen sensor in the range of oxygen concentration from 0 to 75 vol%. Linear proficiency of limit current behavior as a function of oxygen concentration was controlled by the variation of aperture dimension. The fabricated oxygen sensors showed the stable sensing output for 30 days. Gas leakage in bonding area due to warping, cracking and thermal cycling was not found in the period.
