Porous 8YSZ Ceramics Prepared with Alkali Halide Sacrificial Additives.

8 mol% YO-stabilized ZrO (8YSZ) ceramics were prepared with KCl and LiF additions to obtain porous specimens with high skeletal density. Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses (TG/DTA) were carried out on 8YSZ and on 8YSZ mixed to 5 wt.% KCl or 5 wt.
