YSZ (Yttria-stabilized zirconia) Substrates
YSZ (Yttria-stabilized zirconia) substrates are composed of zirconia (ZrO2) stabilized with yttria (Y2O3). They are widely used in various applications due to their excellent mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Some common uses of YSZ substrates include:
Fuel cells: YSZ substrates are used as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) because of their high ionic conductivity and chemical stability.
Oxygen sensors: YSZ substrates are used as the sensing material in oxygen sensors because of their ability to conduct oxygen ions and produce an electrical signal proportional to the oxygen concentration.
Optoelectronics: YSZ substrates are used as the substrates in various optoelectronic devices such as laser diodes and LED devices, because of their high thermal stability and optical transparency.
Biomedical devices: YSZ substrates are also used in biomedical applications such as implantable medical devices, because of their biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.
