The optimum powder to ball ratio was examined, which is one of the important conditions in reactive mechanical grinding processing. Yttria (Y2O3)-stabilized zirconia (ZrO2) (YSZ), Ni, and graphene were chosen as additives to enhance the hydriding and dehydriding rates of Mg. Samples with a composition of 92.5 wt% Mg + 2.5 wt% YSZ + 2.5 wt% Ni + 2.5 wt% graphene (designated as Mg-2.5YSZ-2.5Ni-2.5graphene) were prepared by grinding in hydrogen atmosphere. Mg-2.5YSZ-2.5Ni-2.5graphene had a high effective hydrogen-storage capacity of almost 7 wt% (6.85 wt%) at 623 K in 12 bar H2 at the second cycle (n = 2). Mg-2.5YSZ-2.5Ni-2.5graphene contained Mg2Ni phase after hydriding-dehydriding cycling. Mg-2.5YSZ-2.5Ni-2.5graphene had a larger quantity of hydrogen absorbed for 60 min, Ha (60 min), than Mg-2.5Ni-2.5graphene and Mg-2.5graphene. The addition of YSZ also increased the initial dehydriding rate and the quantity of hydrogen released for 60 min, Hd (60 min), compared with those of Mg-2.5Ni-2.5graphene. Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2, Ni, and graphene-added Mg had a higher initial hydriding rate and a larger Ha (60 min) than Fe2O3, MnO, or Ni and Fe2O3-added Mg at n = 1.

이트리아 안정화 지르코니아(Y-TZP)에 5가 산화물$(Ta_2O_5,\;Nb_2O_5)$을 첨가하여 $1500^{\circ}C$온도에서 상압소결한 삼성분계중 quasi-binary system인 $ZrO_2-YTa(Nb)O_4$의 조성영역안에서 상 안정성을 관찰하기 위해 상태도를 작성하였으며, 결정립 크기나 annealing 온도에 상관없이 상 안정성을 유지하는 non-transformable $t-ZrO_2$ solid solution$(NT_{ss}$ )영역을 확인하고 안정화 mechanism을 조사하였다. $NT_{ss}$ 의 상 안정성은 정방정 fergusonite 구조를 갖는 $YTa(Nb)O_4$의 안정화로 상 변태를 억제하여 우수한 상 안정성을 유지하는 것으로 추정되었다. 기계적 특성을 향상시키기 위해 상 변태율이 가장 좋은 transformable-TZP $(T_{ss/})$ 를 에 첨가하여 조사한 결과 mixture의 조성이 $NT_{ss}$ 영역밖의 $NT_{ss}$영역에 위치하여도 상 안정성과 우수한 기계적 특성을 갖는다는 것이 발견되었다.

The detailed conditions of dc-sputtering for depositions of yttria-stabilized ZrO$_2$ (YSZ) films were investigated, while the films were grown on the CeO$_2$ template layers on biaxially textured Ni-tapes. The window of oxygen pressures for proper growth of YSZ films, which was dependent on sputtering powers, was determined by sufficient oxidations of the YSZ films and the de-oxidation of the target surface, which was required for rapid sputtering. The window turned out to be fairly wide under certain values of argon pressure. When the sputtering power was raised, the deposition rate increased without narrowing the window. The fabricated YSZ films showed good texture qualities and surface morphologies.

Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) buffer layers were deposited by a metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technique using single liquid source for the application of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$$O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) coated conductor. Y:Zr mole ratio was 0.2:0.8, and tetrahydrofuran (THF) was used as a solvent. The (100) single crystal MgO substrate was used for searching deposition condition. Bi-axially oriented CeO$_2$ and NiO films were fabricated on {100}〈001〉 Ni substrate by the same method and used as templates. At a constant working pressure of 10 Torr, the deposition temperatures (660~80$0^{\circ}C$) and oxygen flow rates (100~500 sccm) were changed to find the optimum deposition condition. The best (100) oriented YSZ film on MgO was obtained at 74$0^{\circ}C$ and $O_2$ flow rate of 300 sccm. For YSZ buffer layer with this deposition condition on CeO$_2$/Ni template, full width half maximum (FWHM) values of the in-plane and out-of-plane alignments were 10.6$^{\circ}$ and 9.8$^{\circ}$, respectively. The SEM image of YSZ film on CeO$_2$/Ni showed surface morphologies without microcrack.k.

Ultrafine NiO/YSZ (Yttria Stabilized Zirconia) powders were made by using a glycine nitrate process which is used as anode material for solid oxide fuel cells. The specific surface areas of synthesized NiO/YSZ powders were examined with controlling pH of a precursor solution and the content of glycine. The binding of glycine with metal nitrates occurring in the precursor solution was analyzed by using FTIR. The characteristics of synthesized powders were examined with X-ray diffraction(XRD) Brunauer Emmett Teller with N2 absorption. scanning electron microscopy (SEM). and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Ultrafine NiO/YSZ powders of 15-18 m2/g were obtained through GNP when the content of glycine was controlled to 1 or 2 times the stoichiometric ratio in the precursor solutions. Strongly acid precursor solution increased the specific surface area of the synthesized powders. This is suggested to be the increased binding of metal nitrates and glycine under a strong acid solution of pH=0.5 that lets glycine consist of mainly the amine group of {{{{ { NH}`_{3 } ^{+ } }}. After sintering and reducing treatment of NiO/YSZ powders synthesized by GNP the Ni/YSZ pellet showed ideal microstructure where very fine Ni particles of 3-5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were distributed uniformly and fine pore around Ni metal particles was formed. leading to anincrease of the triple phase boundary among gas Ni and YSZ.

$Zr(i-OC_3H_7)_4$로부터 가수분해법으로 Y-TZP 분말을 제조한 다음, 하소온도를 달리하여 정방정상의 상온 안정화와 25$0^{\circ}C$에서의 등온상전이 거동을 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 정방정상 지르코니아 입자의 상온 안정화 효과는 하소온도가 낮을 수록, 고용된 $Y_2O_3$의 양이 클 수록 증가하였다. 또한 25$0^{\circ}C$에서 aging 하면서 Y-TZP 분말의 등온상전이를 관찰한 결과, 입자크기 효과 및 고용효과에 의해 상온 안정화된 정방정상 지르코니아 입자에서는 aging 시 등온상전이가 일어나지 않고, 반면에 구속효과에 의하여 상온 안정화된 정방정상 입자에서는 등온상전이가 활발히 진행되었다. 등온상전이로 생성된 단사정상 입자의 내부에는 많은 쌍정과 미세균열들이 존재하였는데 이는 상전이시 변형에너지를 감소시키기 위한 것으로 사료되었다.

Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin films were prepared by the electrochemical vapor deposition (EVD) method on the porous Al2O3 substrates. Y2O3 mol% of thin film was linearly increased with yttrium mole fraction of vapor phase. As yttrium mole fraction(Zyc13=0.18) increased dense and faceted thin films were enhanced. However as the yttrium mole fraction (Zyc13=0.04) decreased porous thin films with monoclinnic phase prevailed. With increasing pressure difference of substrate sides penetration depth decreased porosity and amount of monoclinic phase in the films increased.

Visible and IR windows require a combination of high optical transparency and superior thermal and mechanical properties. Materials, fabrication and characterization of transparent ceramics for visible/IR windows are discussed in this review. The transparent polycrystalline $Y_2O_3$, $Y_2O_3-MgO$ nanocomposites and $MgAl_2O_4$ spinel ceramics are fabricated by advanced ceramic processing and the use of special sintering technologies. Ceramic processing conditions for achieveing fully densified transparent ceramics are strongly dependent on the initial powder characteristics. In addition, appropriate use of sintering technologies, including vacuum sintering, hot-pressing and spark plasama sintering methods, results in outstanding thermal and mechanical properties as well as high optical transparency of the final products. Specifically, the elimination of light scattering factors, including residual pores, second phases and grain boundaries, is a key technique for improving the characteristics of the transparent ceramics. This paper discusses the current research issues related to synthesis methods and sintering processes for yttria-based transparent ceramics and $MgAl_2O_4$ spinel.

Unite cell of soid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) that consists of a dense yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) electrolyte a porous nickel-YSZ cermet anode and a porous strontium- doped lanthanum manganate(LSM) cathod was fabricated from using pore former through co-firing technique. Initial sintering shrinkage rates of each layer were identified for fabricating SOFC. Heterogenous sintering was very effective in tailoring shrinkage rate for three layers. The powder tailoring necessary for shrinkage rate matching are as follows ; electrolyte of 60% TZ8YS/ 40% TZ8Y mixture anode of 51wt% NiO/49 wt% (70wt% TZ8YS/30 wt% UT ZrO2) mixture and cathode of 80% LSM/20% UT ZrO2 mixture . The overall sintering shrinkage rate differences of three layers using these compositions were maintained in a few percent.

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) films were deposited with varying temperatures of ZrCl$_4$between 250~55$0^{\circ}C$ with YCl$_3$and the substrate at 100$0^{\circ}C$. Nanoamperes per square centimeter of the electric current were measured in the reactor during deposition and the current increased with increasing evaporation temperature of ZrCl$_4$. The zirconia nanometer size clusters were captured on the grid membrane near the substrate during the CVD process and observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The deposition rate decreased with increasing evaporation temperature of ZrCl$_4$. A cauliflower-shaped structure was developed at 25$0^{\circ}C$ then gradually changed to a faceted-grain structure above 35$0^{\circ}C$. Dependence of the growth rate and the morphological evolution on the evaporation temperature of ZrCl$_4$was approached by the charged cluster model.
