Abstract
The properties of ceramic materials are strongly dependent on the microstructure and consequently on the sintering process. In this project, sintering of zirconia- and ceria-based solid electrolytes (ZrO2:8 mol% Y2O3 cubic zirconia - 8YSZ and CeO2:20 mol% Sm2O3 cubic ceria - 20SDC), important materials for research and application in devices, will be studied by a novel sintering process, …
