To achieve solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) at reduced costs, the atmospheric plasma spray (APS) process could be an attractive technique. However, to make dense and thin layers as needed for electrolytes, a suspension is preferably implemented as a feedstock material instead of a conventional powder. Suspensions of yttria-stabilized zirconia particles in methanol have been prepared with various solid loadings and states of dispersion. An external injection

Agglomerated spray dried anatase TiO2 powder was used as feedstock material for spraying. Morphology and microstructural characteristics of the coatings were studied mainly
Read moreThis paper describes formation of titanium dioxide coatings designed for photocatalytic applications, obtained by suspension plasma spraying (SPS), an alternative of the atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) technique in which the material feedstock is a suspension of the material to be sprayed. Two different TiO2 powders were dispersed in distilled water and ethanol and injected in Ar-H2 or Ar-H2-He plasma under atmospheric conditions. Scanning electron
Read moreThis paper deals with the elaboration of titanium dioxide coatings, designed for photocatalytic applications, obtained by a non-conventional method of deposition, suspension plasma spraying (SPS), an alternative of the atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) in which the material feedstock is a suspension of the material powder to be sprayed. TiO2 P25 powder (Degussa AG) mechanically dispersed in distilled water and/or ethanol was injected in argon–hydrogen
