{"product_id":"csofeccenio8ysz","title":"NiO\/8YSZ Composite Powder as Cermet Electrode for SOFC\/SOEC, 100 g\/bottle, CSOFECCENiO8YSZ","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the architecture of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) and Electrolysis Cells (SOEC), NiO\/8YSZ composite powder is the industry-standard material for the hydrogen electrode. By pre-mixing Nickel Oxide (NiO) with 8 mol% Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (8YSZ), manufacturers create a cermet (ceramic-metal composite) that balances catalytic activity, ionic conductivity, and mechanical stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the initial heating of the cell, a reduction step converts the NiO into metallic Nickel (Ni). The resulting composite serves three critical functions: (1) \u003cstrong\u003eNickel (Ni) Phase\u003c\/strong\u003e: Provides electronic conductivity and acts as the catalyst for hydrogen oxidation (H2 → 2H+ + 2e- in SOFC mode) or steam reduction (H2O + 2e- → H2 + O^(2-) in SOEC mode. (2) \u003cstrong\u003e8YSZ Phase\u003c\/strong\u003e: Provides a path for oxygen ions (O^{2-}) and creates a rigid ceramic backbone. This \"skeleton\" prevents the nickel particles from sintering (clumping) at high operating temperatures (700-900 °C). (3) \u003cstrong\u003ePorosity\u003c\/strong\u003e: The reduction of NiO to Ni involves a volume shrinkage of ~40%, which naturally generates the interconnected pores necessary for gas transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; height: 112.999px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 40.6875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.2374%; height: 40.6875px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart Number\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.4029%; height: 40.6875px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCSOFECCENiO8YSZ (C-SOEFC-CE-NiO8YSZ)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.2374%;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eChemical Formula\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.4029%;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(1) Formula 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitial: 60 wt% NiO +40 wt% \u003cspan\u003e(Y\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003eO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e3\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e0.08\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(ZrO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e0.92\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Reduction: 44.3 vol% NiO + 55.7 vol% \u003cspan\u003e(Y\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003eO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e3\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e0.08\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(ZrO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e0.92\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2) Formula 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitial: 66 wt% NiO +34 wt% \u003cspan\u003e(Y\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003eO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e3\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e0.08\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(ZrO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e0.92\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Reduction: 50.7 vol% NiO + 49.3 vol% \u003cspan\u003e(Y\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003eO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e3\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e0.08\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(ZrO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e0.92\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.2374%;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBET Surface Area\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.4029%;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1-4 m2\/g for formula 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4-8 m2\/g for formula 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.2374%;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePackage Grade\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 71.4029%;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100 g\/bottle (other grades, such as 500 g, 1000 g, or higher can be supplied upon request)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0167273816301643\"\u003eA.
