After adding 8Y-ZrO2 powders to 3Y-ZrO2 powders at ratios of 0, 33, 50, 67, and 100% by weight, the mixed yttria-stabilized zirconia specimens were fabricated into thin plate using tape~casting method and then sintered at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 4h in air. The crystalline structure, microstructure and electrical properties of the sintered zirconia thin plates were investigated by using X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope and impedance analyser, respectively. At the temperatures higher than 75$0^{\circ}C$, the sintered thin plate with 33% 8Y-ZrO2 content shows higher mechanical properties and lower electrical resistivity than 8Y-ZrO2 thin plate which is generally used as an electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cells. This is due to the fact that the zirconia thin plates with low 8Y-ZrO2 content maintain the slope of low temperature region up to high temperatures, whereas at temperatures higher than 50$0^{\circ}C$ the slope decrease in the zirconia thin plates with high 8Y-ZrO2 content.

To increase the performance of solid oxide fuel cell operating at intermediate temperature ($600^{\circ}C{\sim}800^{\circ}C$), $Sm_{0.2}Ce_{0.8}O_2$ (SDC) thin layer was applied to the $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}Mn_{0.8}Cu_{0.2}O_3$ (LSMCu) cathode by sol-gel coating method. The SDC was employed as a diffusion barrier layer on the yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) to prevent the interlayer by-product formation of $SrZrO_3$ or $La_2Zr_2O_7$. The by-products were hardly formed at the electrolyte-cathode interlayer resulting to reduce the cathode polarization resistance. Moreover, SDC thin film was coated on the cathode pore wall surface to extend the triple phase boundary (TPB) area.

50/50 vol% LSM-YSZ (La$_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$MnO$_3$-yttria stabilized zirconia)의 복합공기극이 콜로이드 증착법에 의해 연마된 YSZ 전해질상에 증착되었다. 그 전극 특성은 주사전자현미경, X선회절과 임피던스 분석기에 의해 연구되어졌다. 90$0^{\circ}C$에서 공기/LSM -YSZ/YSZ/Pt/공기 셀에 대해 측정된 전형적인 임피던스 스펙트럼들은 2개의 불완전한 호(depressed arc)로 구성되었다. LSM 전극에 대한 YSZ의 첨가는 전극내의 삼상계(TPB) 영역을 증가시켰으며, 이것이 LSM-YSZ 복합공기극의 비저항을 감소시켰다. 또한 전해질 표면의 불순물 제거와 TPB 길이의 증가를 위한 전해질 표면연마는 공기극의 비저항을 훨씬 더 감소시켰다. LSM-YSZ 공기극의 비저항은 작동온도, 공기극의 조성과 입자크기, 인가전류 및 전해질의 표면거칠기에 의해 큰 영향을 받았다.

The behavior of oxygen gas participating in fining was observed in CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) glass melts doped with $Sb_2O_5\;or\;CeO_2$ by means of a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrode. The temperature dependence of the oxygen equilibrium pressure ($P_{o2}$) or the activity in both melts showed typical behavior corresponding to a theoretical redox reaction. In other words, the $P_{o2}$ value of melts with $CeO_2$ was lower than that of melts with $Sb_2O_5$ above $1250^{\circ}C$. The result implies that $Sb_2O_5$, is more efficient as a fining agent compared to $CeO_2$. On the other hand, melts from a batch containing $Sb_2O_5\;and\;KNO_3$ showed much higher $P_{o2}$ values compared to melts without $KNO_3$ above $1350^{\circ}C$. It is suggested that the addition of $KNO_3$ to CRT glass batch contributes partly to the first fining of the melts.

The effect of the $O_2$ concentration in the sputtering gas mixture, substate temperature and Ar pressure on the structural and optical properties of 3 mol% YSZ and 8 mol% YSZ thin films deposited by RF magnetron sputtering were investigated . The films were observed to have various crystal structures with different compositions in accordance with the type of the target materials. The size of fine grain-like particles decreased wiht increasing the $O_2$ concentration in the sputtering gas in the case of 3mol% YSZ, while it increased in the case of 8 mol% YSZ . However, the average opticla transmission of 8mol% YSZ, despite of thicker thickness. was higher than that of 3 mol% YSZ. Furthermore, the values of refractive index of 3mol% YSZ increased with increasing the $O_2$ concentration in the sputtering gas on the contrary to those of the 8 mol% YSZ. However, the transmission spectra of 8 mol% YSZ films were not strongly influenced by the substrate temperature and Ar pressure, whereas the refractive index of the YSZ films were strongly affected by the sputtering parameters.

A gas turbine blade with thermal barrier ceramic coating is operated at high temperature to increase engine efficiency. Recently, thermal barrier characteristics have been improved by advanced coating technology through microstructure control and increase of adhesion force of the coating layer. More advanced coating materials, rare earth zircon ate ceramics have been studied for replacing YSZ coatings as thermal barrier coatings. In this study, $La_2O_3,\;HfO_2,\;CeO_2,\;Gd_2O_3$ and pure or yttria stabilized zirconia were prepared. Microstructure analysis and the evaluation of mechanical properties such as Hertzian indentation and hardness test were performed.

Yttria-Stabilized Cubic Zirconia Crystals with Various Y2O3 amounts (6-15mol%) were grown by the Skull melting technique. The modeling of the nucleation at the Skull bottom and the best growth condition were studied. The abrupt changes in generator heating Power and lowering rate of crucible caused the dendritic growth in the grown crystal. The optimum condition of cubic Zirconia single crystals was obtained when the lowering rate was gradually increased. The effect of Y2O3 amounts on the perfection adn the color of the grown crystal were determined. The darkish color generated in the crystals added Y2O3 amounts over 12mol% was eliminated by the annealing in air at 1200$^{\circ}C$ for 24hrs.

Characteristics of composite electrolytes which were prepared by coating a thin film of YSZ (yttria sta-bilized zirconia : (ZrO2)0.92 (Y2O3)0.08) on YDC (yttria doped ceria : Ce0.8Y0.2O1.9) with mixed conductivity have been investigated in order to develop the low-temperature solid oxide fuel cell. The thickness (t) of spin-coated YSZ thin films after the heat-treatment at 600$^{\circ}C$ was increased proportionally to the sol con-centrations (C) while the decrease in its thickness with the spin rate ($\omega$) could be expressed in the e-quation of ln t=9.49-0.53 ln $\omega$(0.99mol//s sol conc.) When the sol concentration and the spin rate being less than 0.99 mol/l and higher than 1000 rpm respectively reliable YSZ/YDC composite electrolytes could be obtained by multi-coating although several micro-cracks were observed in singly coated YSZ film surfaces. The dense YSZ film with a 1$\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness was prepared by coating of 0.99 mol/l YSZ sol five-times at 2000 rpm followed by heat-treatment at 1400$^{\circ}C$ for 2h, The adhesion between YSZ film and YDC substrate was found to be very good. The open circuit voltages of H2/O2 single cell with YSZ/YDC composite electrolytes were 0.79∼0.82 V at 800$^{\circ}C$ and 0.75∼0.77V at 900$^{\circ}C$ The open circuit voltage was inversely proportioned to the thickness ratio of YSZ thin film (1$\mu\textrm{m}$) to YDC substrate(0.28-2.22 mm)
