Abstract
A series of Ce4+-doped Pr2Zr2O7 ceramics were produced using a solid reaction method to utilize novel ceramic materials as potential candidates for thermally protective coatings. The effects of Ce4+ doping on the phase composition and mechanical, infrared radiative, and thermophysical properties were studied in detail. The results indicated the good phase stability and sintering resistance of the Pr2(Zr1−xCex)2O7 ceramics. Moreover, Ce4+-doped Pr2Zr2O7 bulk materials exhibited higher infrared emissivity (0.904) at wavelengths of 3–5 μm and 1000 °C for Pr2(Zr0.5Ce0.5)2O7) owing to the introduction of impurity energy levels. Pr2(Zr0.7Ce0.3)2O7 exhibited an appropriate average coefficient of thermal expansion of 12.4 × 10−6 K−1 and a low thermal conductivity of 1.14 W m−1 K−1 at 1000 °C, owing to the reduction of lattice energy and the presence of more oxygen vacancies and substitution atoms.
