Sintering of Ce3+-doped yttria nanoparticles prepared by precipitation method

Cerium doped yttrium oxide nanoparticles with various Ce3+ concentrations between 0.001 and 0.010 at% have been synthesised by precipitation method using ammonium hydroxide as a precipitation agent. The synthesised powders are characterised by a mean particle size of ca. 55 nm. Highly dense specimen...

description Cerium doped yttrium oxide nanoparticles with various Ce3+ concentrations between 0.001 and 0.010 at% have been synthesised by precipitation method using ammonium hydroxide as a precipitation agent. The synthesised powders are characterised by a mean particle size of ca. 55 nm. Highly dense specimens, with a relative density> 98.8%, were obtained by sintering the green compacts shaped by pressure filtration, at 1550 °C for 3 h in air. The sintering behaviour of Ce3+ doped Y2O3 was studied by constructing Master Sintering Curves (MSC); the results showed that the apparent activation energy of sintering for Ce3+ doped Y2O3 increases with the increase of cerium concentration. The segregation of larger Ce3+ cations in the grain boundaries is likely to be responsible for the increase in the sintering activation energy.
