Yttrium oxide nanopowder

Original technology of yttrium oxide nanopowder production is protected by RF patent.

Average grain size is 20-40 nm.
Particle shape – spherical.
 

Range of application:
 

• Production of optical ceramics having high optical transmission in visible and infrared spectrum, high melting temperature (2400⁰С) and heat resistance. Nanopowders simplify the process of its production (dense ceramics can be produced at lower temperatures).
• Structural ceramics having high resistance in corrosive medium, high strength and wear resistance (engines, buckets, turbines, wear-resistant parts, etc.)
• Solid electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells (ZrO₂:Y₂O₃). Application of nanopowders provides increasing of ionic conduction, strength and crack growth resistance. Such fuel cells are not corroded, and are extremely suitable for natural gas combustion in stationary units.
• Production of superalloys and low alloys based on chromium (increasing of material creep resistance).
• Production of fluorescent materials used as components of light-transforming compositions.

The Institute sells production technology and batches of yttrium oxide nanopowders.
