DENSIFICATION OF CERIA BASED ELECTROLYTES

摘要

THE FABRICATION OF CERIA BASED ELECTROLYTES TO DENSITIES GREATER THAN 97% OF THE THEORETICAL ACHIEVABLE DENSITY AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 1200oC. PREFERABLY APPROXIMATELY 1000oC, IS DISCLOSED. THE ELECTROLYTE HAS A CONCENTRATION OF DIVALENT CATIONS MINUS AN ADJUSTED CONCENTRATION OF TRIVALENT CATIONS OF BETWEEN 0.01 MOLE % AND 0.1 MOLE %. [FIG. 1]
