Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Sputtering Target
Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) sputtering targets are highly valued for their exceptional thermal stability, chemical resistance, and high ionic conductivity. Sputtered YSZ thin films are extensively used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as electrolytes and in oxygen sensors, where their superior oxygen ion conductivity significantly enhances device efficiency and reliability. These films can be deposited with excellent density, uniformity, and controlled thickness, ensuring optimal performance in demanding electrochemical applications. Furthermore, YSZ coatings are widely employed as thermal barrier coatings in gas turbines and other high-temperature systems, providing outstanding resistance to thermal shock, oxidation, and mechanical stress.
