LABORATORY PROCUREMENT SUPPORT
For grade selection, particle-size confirmation, documentation support or custom specification review, contact our technical sales team.
This nanopowder requires storage in a sealed container under dry, inert atmosphere to prevent moisture absorption and agglomeration. Avoid exposure to airborne contaminants that may alter surface chemistry and compromise sintering behavior.
- Moisture Sensitivity: Store in a desiccated environment or glovebox with <1 ppm H₂O to maintain powder flowability and prevent hydrolysis of the yttria-stabilized surface.
- Agglomeration Risk: High specific surface area (30–40 m²/g) promotes van der Waals agglomeration; avoid mechanical compaction or vibration during storage.
- Contamination Control: Use dedicated stainless steel or ceramic spatulas to prevent cross-contamination with other oxide powders.
This procedure describes safe dispensing and transfer of 30 nm YSZ nanopowder for oxygen sensor or fuel cell fabrication. Work inside a glovebox or fume hood to control airborne particulate and moisture exposure.
Required Equipment: Analytical balance (0.1 mg resolution), Stainless steel spatula, Antistatic weighing boat or ceramic crucible, Glovebox with inert gas purge (N₂ or Ar)
- Prepare glovebox atmosphere
Purge the glovebox with dry nitrogen or argon until oxygen and moisture levels are below 1 ppm. - Tare weighing vessel
Place an antistatic weighing boat on the analytical balance and tare to zero. - Transfer powder
Using a clean stainless steel spatula, transfer the required mass of YSZ nanopowder into the weighing boat without generating airborne dust. - Seal container
Immediately reseal the stock container with its original lid to minimize moisture ingress. - Dispense for processing
Transfer the weighed powder to the target process vessel or slurry preparation container within the same inert atmosphere.
What is the specific surface area range of Atomfair cubic yttria-stabilized zirconia nanopowder with 30 nm particle size?
The specific surface area is 30–40 m²/g. This range is directly stated in the product specifications for the 30 nm cubic YSZ nanopowder with 86.5% ZrO₂ content and 8 mol% Y₂O₃, and is critical for catalytic and sintering behavior in oxygen sensor and fuel cell applications.
Can this 30 nm cubic YSZ nanopowder be used directly in oxygen sensor or fuel cell fabrication without additional phase stabilization treatment?
Yes, the powder is supplied with a fully stabilized cubic crystal phase, as specified by the 8 mol% yttria content and confirmed by the crystal phase property. This eliminates the need for post-synthesis stabilization steps, enabling direct use in oxygen sensor and fuel cell manufacturing processes.
What documentation is available for batch-specific quality confirmation of this YSZ nanopowder?
A Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) can be provided upon request for batch-specific confirmation. This supports quality assurance and regulatory compliance for laboratory and production use.
Atomfair cubic yttria-stabilized zirconia nanopowder (30 nm, 86.5% ZrO₂, 8 mol% Y₂O₃) provides a stable cubic phase with high surface area (30–40 m²/g), making it suitable for oxygen sensors and fuel cells where ionic conductivity is critical. Standard offerings are limited to the specified particle size and composition, with custom options available upon request.
Positive
- Cubic phase for ionic conductivity: The cubic crystal phase is stable at operating temperatures in solid oxide fuel cells and oxygen sensors, enabling high oxygen ion mobility.
- High specific surface area: A specific surface area of 30–40 m²/g enhances catalytic activity and sintering kinetics, improving performance in electrochemical devices.
Trade-offs
- Fixed standard specifications: The standard particle size (30 nm) and yttria content (8 mol%) are not adjustable; users requiring alternative parameters must request custom production, which may extend lead times.
