Ceria-zirconia is widely used as a component in current three-way catalytic converters. [6] The ceria-based component of the converter has several functions, including promoting the dispersion of the noble metals in the catalyst, but also storing and releasing oxygen. [7]
Zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2 ), sometimes known as zirconia (not to be confused with zirconium silicate or zircon ), is a white crystalline oxide of zirconium . Its most naturally occurring form, with a monoclinic crystalline structure , is the mineral baddeleyite .
Zirconium is a lustrous, greyish-white, soft, ductile, malleable metal that is solid at room temperature, though it is hard and brittle at lesser purities. [12] In powder form, zirconium is highly flammable, but the solid form is much less prone to ignition. Zirconium is highly resistant to corrosion by alkalis, acids, salt water and other ...
Lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide (LLZO, Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12) or lithium lanthanum zirconate is a lithium-stuffed garnet material that is under investigation for its use in solid-state electrolytes in lithium-based battery technologies.
A common specimen of Zirconia Toughened Alumina will have 10-20% zirconium oxides. The 20-30% increase in strength often meets the design criteria needed at a much lower cost. [2] Depending on the percentage that is Zirconium, the properties of this ceramic can be manipulated for the applications required. Zirconia Toughened Alumina is ...
This ability to conduct O 2− ions makes yttria-stabilized zirconia well suited for application as solid electrolyte in solid oxide fuel cells. For low dopant concentrations, the ionic conductivity of the stabilized zirconias increases with increasing Y 2 O 3 content. It has a maximum around 8–9 mol% almost independent of the temperature ...

At 95 °C, zirconium nitrate sublimes with a pressure of 0.2 mm of Hg and can be deposited as zirconium dioxide on silicon at 285 °C. It has the advantage in that it is a single source, meaning it does not have to be mixed with other materials like oxygen, and decomposes at a relatively low temperature, and does not contaminate the surface ...
