Exploring the Potential of Robocasting for High-Density Electrolytes in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Inorganics 2024 Volume 12, Issue 12, Article 300

This study investigates the application of robocasting technology for fabricating high-density yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) electrolytes used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The primary goal is to overcome the limitations of traditional manufacturing techniques, such as low density and poor microstructural control. Using a combination of hydrothermal synthesis, rheological testing, and robocasting, we achieved dense 8YSZ structures (over 95% density) with minimal porosity. The fabricated electrolytes underwent sintering and debinding processes, with thermal treatment profiles optimized for structural integrity. A microstructural analysis through SEM and XRD confirmed the formation of stable crystalline phase. This research opens new avenues for the…

[Development of nanostructured zirconia as a 3D-printing material for dental applications]

National University of Athens 2023 Thesis
E. Kalithinou

“This thesis studies the production of dental prosthetic structures from zirconia through the 3D printing method. In the theoretical part, ceramic materials are described, and the properties of zirconia are analyzed both in general and in the field of dentistry. Zirconia is a ceramic with strong mechanical strength and has been suitable for applications in this field in recent years. In addition, in the theoretical part, 3D printing techniques are developed, especially Inkjet printing (IJP) and Direct ink writing (DIW- robocasting). 3D printing techniques have wide application in manufacturing complex shapes and geometries where conventional production methods do not respond…
