Abstract

Flash sintering (FS) is a promising method with a great potential for the ceramic fabrication with rapid densification process. However, the uniform densification of the sintered samples is also a key issue. In the present study, the densification behavior of 3YSZ/carbon nanotube (CNT) composites in flash sintering was investigated. CNT was used as a conductive additive which would form a continuous conductive network in the 3YSZ matrix. As a result the processing parameters especially current density played a key role to the densification for sintered composites in FS. The results showed that a larger current density resulted in a higher relative density of the sample. With the addition of CNT, the current density limit increased from 70 mA/mm2 for the pure 3YSZ to 300 mA/mm2 for composite 3YSZ/CNT. Further, the effects of current density on the densification behavior and electrical performance of 3YSZ/CNT were also discussed. Nearly completely dense 3YSZ/CNT composites could be obtained at a furnace temperature of 700 °C, electric field of 25 V/cm and current density limit of 300 mA/mm2 by flash sintering. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) results indicated that the ionic conductivity of all 3YSZ/CNT samples sintered at different current densities were almost similar, and the highest conductivity 0.471 µS/cm of 3YSZ/CNT sintered at 300 mA/mm2 could be reached.
