Enchanced sintering of YSZ ceramics with low level nickel oxide dopants

Tape casting is an effective method for obtaining thin YSZ electrolytes used in solid oxide fuel cells. While the costs of YSZ have decreased from demand and improved manufacturing, large amounts of energy are required to properly densify the ceramic material inflating of the overall cost of this ma...
