Abstract

Thermodynamic assessment in the ternary systems ZrO2-CeO2-Y2O2 , ZrO2-CeO2-Ce2O3 and the limiting binaries ZrO2-Y2O3, ZrO2-CeO2 ,CeO2-Y2O2, ZrO2-Ce2O3, CeO2-Ce2O3 as well as the modeling for oxides are reviewed comprehensively. Based on the recent estimations on the YO1,5-CeO2, ZrO2-CeO2 and ZrO2-YO1,5 systems, isothermal sections at 1 273 and 1 973 K of the ternary CeO2-ZrO2-YO1,5 system are calculated. In the system of ZrO2-CeO2-Ce2O3, the complex relation between the nonstoichiometry (y) in CeOy , the composition of the ZrO2-CeO2 solid solution and the oxygen partial pressure (P o 2) for different ZrO2 containing solid solutions Ce2Zri2y are evaluated from 1 473 to 1 773 K. The relation between the degree of Ce+4 reduction to Ce+3 under different P 0 2 in the fluorite CeO2−y and Ce z Zr1−z O2−x solid solutions at different temperatures can be used as a guide in the development of functional ceramics.
