Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are a promising device for clean energy technology displaying very low environmental impact and high energy conversion efficiency. These electrochemical devices offer excellent fuel flexibility, which makes utilization of abundant and low-cost hydrocarbon fuels possible. However, some of the main technological and scientific challenges towards the use of nat…
In this work, the effects of grain size on microstructural, electrical, and mechanical properties in fully dense nanostructured scandia-zirconia ceramics obtained by Spark Plasma Sintering will be investigated. Due to recent advances in this sintering technique, it is finally possible to obtain nanostructured ceramics with unique and unexpected properties for some classes of materials, su…
In this work, the effects of oxide additives (dysprosium and niobium oxides) on scandia-stabilized zirconia will be investigated aiming to stabilize the cubic phase at room temperature and to suppress the characteristic cubic-rhombohedric phase transformation. The effect of the particle size on the phase transition will be also subject of this study, by the synthesis and structural charac…

Scandia-zirconia (ScZ) has a great technological interest for solid electrolyte applications due to the highest ionic conductivity among zirconia-based ceramics. However, ScZ usually requires high temperatures (> 1600 °C) to achieve 95% relative density by conventional sintering. Fully dense nanocrystalline ScZ specimens were obtained by recently proposed deformable punch spark plasma sin…
In this work, as complementation of current doctoral project, the thermodynamic of zirconia-scandia system is proposed to be investigate in more detail. The phase stability of zirconia-scandia system will be investigated based on thermodynamic data collected by water adsorptionmicrocalorimetry and high temperature oxide melt solution in order to create an unprecedentphase diagram at the n…
