Nickel Oxide 3YSZ Anode Powder D50 0.2–0.4μm ATOMFAIR®

Nickel Oxide 3YSZ Composite Anode Support Powder, D50 0.2-0.4 μm, 1 kg | ATOMFAIR

Product Type: SOC anode support powder

Research-grade laboratory product

Product Overview

The ATOMFAIR® Nickel Oxide 3YSZ Composite Anode Support Powder composite powder is a pre-mixed blend of NiO and 3YSZ in a 1:1 weight ratio, designed specifically for the fabrication of anode-supported solid oxide cells. It offers a D50 of 0.2–0.4 μm, a specific surface area of 8–14 m²/g, and moisture below 1 wt.%. The homogeneous distribution of NiO and 3YSZ at the powder level simplifies the mixing process and ensures consistent phase distribution after sintering and reduction, resulting in a well-percolated Ni-YSZ cermet with balanced electronic, ionic, and mechanical properties.

Performance Features

Homogeneous mixing: Pre-blended composition eliminates variability from manual or ball-mill mixing steps.
Balanced functional properties: Ensures good percolation for both ionic and electronic conduction.
Reduced processing steps: Ready-to-use powder simplifies anode support preparation workflows.
Stable mechanical support: 3YSZ backbone provides strong structural integrity during cell operation.

This document outlines the environmental and processing constraints for the Nickel Oxide 3YSZ composite anode support powder. The powder requires moisture-controlled storage and high-temperature sintering/reduction to achieve its intended functional cermet structure.

Storage: Store the powder in a dry environment and keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture uptake and contamination.
Sintering and Reduction: The powder must be sintered and reduced at high temperature to form a well-percolated Ni-YSZ cermet with balanced electronic and ionic conductivity.

FAQ

What is the significance of the NiO to 3YSZ weight ratio of 1:1 in this composite anode support powder?

The 1:1 weight ratio is critical for achieving a well-percolated Ni-YSZ cermet after reduction, balancing electronic conductivity from nickel with ionic conductivity from YSZ, while the 3YSZ backbone provides structural integrity. The source specifies a NiO:3YSZ ratio of 1:1 and notes that this composition ensures 'balanced electronic, ionic, and mechanical properties.'

Is this powder compatible with tape-casting processes for anode-supported solid oxide cells?

Yes, the spray-dried granulated powder with a D50 of 0.2–0.4 μm and specific surface area of 8–14 m²/g is designed for tape-casting and dry-pressing processes. Its pre-blended homogeneous composition eliminates manual mixing steps, simplifying anode support preparation workflows as noted in the application scope.

What storage conditions are required to prevent moisture degradation of this powder?

The powder must be stored in a dry environment and containers kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture uptake. The technical specification lists moisture below 1 wt.%, and moisture absorption can compromise the powder's sintering behavior and final cermet performance.

Assessment

Pre-mixed NiO:3YSZ composite anode support powder with D50 0.2-0.4 μm and SSA 8-14 m²/g, designed for anode-supported SOC fabrication, offering homogeneous phase distribution and balanced electronic/ionic/mechanical properties after sintering and reduction.

Positive

Homogeneous pre-mixed composition: NiO and 3YSZ are pre-blended in a 1:1 weight ratio, eliminating variability from manual mixing and ensuring consistent phase distribution after sintering and reduction.
Balanced cermet functional properties: The composite yields a well-percolated Ni-YSZ cermet with simultaneous ionic and electronic conduction, plus mechanical integrity from the 3YSZ backbone.

Trade-offs

Moisture-sensitive storage required: The powder must be stored in a dry environment and containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture uptake and contamination, as moisture content is specified below 1 wt.%.
