Abstract

Zirconia-based cermet powders have been synthesised by combustion synthesis, using nitrates as metal precursors and urea as fuel component. Two families of cermet were prepared : Ni-YSZ (commonly used as anode material in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells) and Ni-Co-YSZ cermets. Fine homogeneous powders have been obtained at low temperature. SEM observations have shown well-crystallized grains, confirmed by X-Ray diffraction. Crystalline size and specific surface area were measured as functions of the amount of urea used for the synthesis, cermet compositions and calcination temperature of as-prepared powders.
