Yttria fully stabilized zirconia (with 8 mol% Y₂O₃) is a commonly used and well characterized ceramic electrolyte material.  This nanoscale grade of YSZ-8 powder (with crystallite size of 5-10 nm and surface area of > 100 m²/gram) is offered for use as a sintering aid or as an activity-enhancing additive in composite cathodes and cermet anodes.   As provided, the nanoscale YSZ-8 powder is agglomerated and needs to be further processed in order for optimum dispersion.
