Tungsten fiber-reinforced tungsten (Wf/W) composites are promising for fusion applications, but their performance is limited by insufficient matrix densification and fiber embrittlement during conventional high-temperature sintering. Alloying tungsten with vanadium(V) effectively enhances sinterability and modifies densification behavior.

The conventional synthesis of barium zirconate cerate protonic membranes demands high sintering temperatures (~1600 °C) and lengthy dwell times (up to 24 h). This high-temperature processing results in Ba2+ loss, leading to impurity compounds and a reduction in overall conductivity. Therefore, a pre-cold sintering step was employed to densify BaZr0.7Ce0.2Y0.1O3-δ (BZCY721) ceramics at...

Ni felts are conventionally used as anode porous transport layers (PTL) in anion exchange membrane (AEM) elctrolysers. However, a better distributed contact between the PTL and the AEM can help reduce mechanical strain and current constriction in the AEM, thereby enabling higher differential pressure operation and improved performance, On the other hand, high degree of porosity and large pore...

Copper (Cu) powders for low-temperature sintering are capable of bonding at temperatures significantly below their melting point. Consequently, they are expected to be applied in die-attach materials for power modules designed for high-temperature operation.
To achieve low-temperature sintering, it is effective to refine the particle size. In the case of Cu, an anti-oxidation coating which...

Cold sintering processing (CSP) has emerged as a promising route for densifying ceramic solid electrolytes (SEs) at significantly reduced temperatures. Assisted by a transient liquid phase (acetic acid), CSP promotes dissolution–reprecipitation-driven particle rearrangement, leading to intimate grain contact and refined microstructures. However, the fundamental densification mechanism and its...

Zirconia and alumina are widely used for wear-resistant components, while zirconium oxide also serves as a thermal barrier material. Diamond, with the highest thermal conductivity among all materials, can potentially improve the thermal shock resistance of zirconia. However, producing oxide–diamond composites is challenging due to the high sintering temperatures required for ZrO₂ and the...
