title: Preparation of YSZ-TZP solid electrolytes by gel-casting technology.
abstract: 8 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia, TZP: 3 mol% yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal) solid electrolytes were prepared by gel-casting technology. The densification, microstructure, mechanical and electrical properties were characterized and discussed. The densification of YSZ-TZP solid electrolytes increased with increasing TZP content. The strength and fracture toughness showed a maximum value when TZP was 20 vol.%. However, addition of TZP decreased the conductivities of solid electrolyte.
