Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)

Yttria stabilized zirconia ceramic is an important ceramic material. It is composed of zirconia and stabilizer yttrium oxide, and has excellent thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties. YSZ ceramics are widely used in solid oxide fuel cells, Thermal barrier coating, high-temperature structural materials and other fields. The advantages of YSZ ceramics include high thermal stability, good conductivity, and excellent chemical inertness, making them one of the key materials in high-temperature applications.

Dihedral Technology(DHD) Co., Ltd. manufacture and processing/provide multiple specifications and high quality YSZ crystal,targets,materials.

Applications

• High-temperature superconductors: Zirconia is used as a primary substrate material for the growth of high-temperature superconducting thin films.
• Optoelectronic devices: Due to its excellent optical properties, zirconia is used in optoelectronic devices such as photodetectors, laser diodes, and optical waveguides.
• Microelectronic devices: Zirconia, with its high dielectric constant, is used as a dielectric material for high-capacitance capacitors and memory devices, such as DRAM.
• Electrolyte: Zirconia is employed as an efficient oxygen ion-conducting electrolyte in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
• Sensors: Zirconia is utilized in oxygen sensors and various environmental sensors due to its excellent chemical stability and high-temperature performance.
• Catalysts: Zirconia is used as a catalyst or catalyst support, such as in automotive catalytic converters for exhaust gas treatment.
• Biomedical applications: Zirconia is widely used in dental and orthopedic implants due to its biocompatibility and mechanical strength.
