Abstract
In this work, the effect of microwave sintering on the properties of scandia doped zirconia (10 mol% scandia in zirconia) was investigated. The sample was prepared by mixed oxide method and the sintering was done at the temperature of 1400oC for 20 min using a 2.45 GHz microwave furnace. Sintering behavior of this microwave sintered ceramics was compared with the corresponding conventional sintered ceramics, sintered at 1400oC for 6 h in a conventional furnace. It was found that both the sintering processes produced highly dense samples. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the presence of only cubic structure in both the samples. Scanning electron microscopy study was done for micro-structural analysis. Further, electrical conductivity was studied from room temperature to 500oC in the frequency range of 1 kHz to 1 MHz. Higher ionic conductivity was recorded for microwave sintered sample than the corresponding conventional sintered sample. [Keywords: Ceramics, Solid oxide fuel cell, Electrolyte, Microwave sintering]
