Abstract

A sonochemical process for the fabrication of the mesoporous composite NiO/yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is described. Its surface area after the extraction of the surfactant is 193 m2/g for a sample containing 40 atom-% Ni. The main advantages of the sonochemical method, as compared with previous works, are the short reaction time (6 h) and that there is no requirement for the glycolation of the nickel, yttrium, and zirconium ions. The reduction of NiO/YSZ to the corresponding Ni/YSZ is also reported.
