• SiBCN ceramics with low carbon content prepared by PDC route have excellent wave-transparent properties. • The lower the methyl number and pyrolysis temperature, the lower the dielectric constant of the PDC-SiBCN ceramics. • The SiBCN ceramics show stable high-temperature wave-transparent performance up to 800 °C. Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) is a promising way to prepare ceramic-based electromagnetic functional materials, which can conveniently modulate the composition and dielectric properties of the ceramics. In this paper, SiBCN ceramic matrix composites with excellent high-temperature wave-transparent performance were prepared through PDC method. Three hyperbranched polyborosilazanes (PBSZs) were prepared by adjusting the type of chlorosilane monomers containing different numbers of methyl groups. The carbon element of pyrolytic ceramics was tuned by adjusting the molecular structure of the precursor and the pyrolysis temperature. The lower the methyl number and pyrolysis temperature, the lower the dielectric constant of the polymer-derived SiBCN ceramics, which is favorable for electromagnetic wave (EMW) transmittance. The average EMW transmittance of SiBCN-C pyrolyzed from hyperbranched PBSZ using trichlorosilane at 1000 °C was 90.56 % at room temperature. More excitingly, the excellent wave-transparent performance was also maintained in the temperature range of 100–800 °C. At the test temperature of 800 °C, SiBCN-C-1000 still had excellent wave-transparent performance with minimum and average EMW transmittance of 76.13 % and 88.96 %, respectively. This paper provided a new idea for the preparation of high-temperature wave-transparent SiBCN composite ceramics. A strategy to prepare SiBCN ceramics by PDC route with excellent high temperature wave-transparent performance. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• ZrC-SiC porous ceramics with closed-cell structure are firstly developed. • ZrC hollow microspheres were successfully converted into closed pores within porous ceramics by CVI. • The effect of interfacial thermal resistance on thermal conductivity was discussed. • The equivalent thermal conductivity model was employed to calculate the thermal conductivity of ZrC HMs within the ZrC-SiC closed-cell ceramics. Porous ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are recognized as novel candidates for fulfilling the requirements of thermal protection systems of hypersonic aircrafts, as they possess excellent high-temperature resistance and low thermal conductivity. Currently, the reported porous UHTCs predominantly exhibit an open pore structure. By contrast, closed-cell UHTCs, formed by employing ceramic hollow microspheres (HMs) as pore-forming agents, hold great potential for achieving superior thermal insulation performance. Unfortunately, the implementation of this strategy has been hindered by the scarcity of raw materials and preparation techniques. In this paper, ZrC-SiC closed-cell ceramics were first successfully prepared through a combination of tape casting and chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) techniques, utilizing the self-developed ZrC HMs as the primary raw material. The morphology, microstructure, and thermal insulation properties of the obtained ZrC-SiC closed-cell ceramics were investigated. The results indicate that when the content of ZrC HMs is 30 vol.%, the density of the prepared porous ceramics is 2.09 g cm
–3 , with a closed porosity of 14.05% and a thermal conductivity of 1.69 W (m K)–1 . The results clearly prove that the CVI process can successfully convert ZrC HMs into closed pore structures within porous ceramics. The introduction of ZrC HMs suppresses the contribution of free electrons to thermal conductivity and brings about a large number of solid-gas interfaces, which increases the interfacial thermal resistance and significantly reduces the phonon thermal conductivity. Consequently, the as-prepared ZrC-SiC closed-cell ceramics show excellent thermal insulation properties. This study provides a new idea and method for the development of porous UHTCs and offers a more reliable material choice for thermal protection systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

• ZrSiO 4 could improve the flexural strength of silica-based ceramic cores by hindering crack propagation. • The pre-sintering process could greatly improve the microstructure and properties of silica-based ceramic cores by enhancing the infiltration effect. • The fracture morphologies of silica-based ceramic cores exhibited obvious transgranular fracture due to the strengthening of sintering necks. The silica-based ceramic core has attracted much attention in the preparation of hollow blades due to its great leachability. In this paper, the silica-based ceramic cores reinforced with ZrSiO 4 were prepared by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) combined with vacuum infiltration (VI). To enhance the infiltration effect, the pre-sintered bodies with high porosity and hydrophilicity were obtained by pre-sintering at 1100 °C. Results showed that a large number of silica particles infiltrated into the pre-sintered bodies. The infiltrated silica promoted the generation of liquid phase in sintering, thereby promoting the removal of pores and the connection of grains. Nevertheless, the dispersed ZrSiO 4 grains prevented the viscous flow of the liquid phase, thereby increasing the porosity. ZrSiO 4 grains could hinder the propagation of cracks due to their high strength. When the addition of ZrSiO 4 was 10 wt.%, room-temperature flexural strength of silica-based ceramic cores infiltrated with slurry S1 (the mass ratio of silica sol to silica powder was 10:1) reached 17.21 MPa due to the reinforcement of sintering necks. Moreover, high-temperature flexural strength reached 13.90 MPa. Therefore, the pre-sintering process could greatly improve the mechanical properties of silica-based ceramic cores prepared by LPBF-VI technology. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• A promising pathway for the control of crystallographic texture for preparing large-sized Al 2 O 3 /YAG eutectic ceramic was proposed innovatively. The crystallographic texture evolutions of faceted Al 2 O 3 /YAG eutectic ceramic strictly constrained by seed crystal were studied in a comprehensive and in-depth approach. • A preferred crystallographic orientation relationship between the two phases corresponded to { 1 1 ¯ 00 } Al 2 O 3 ‖{110}YAG and <11 2 ¯ 0>Al 2 O 3 ‖<111>YAG was achieved in a short competitive solidification distance from the single crystal seed. • In this paper, the preferred selection mechanism of crystallographic orientation in the directional solidification for these two faceted phases was clarified qualitatively and quantitatively. These analyses suggested that the regulation of crystallographic texture inducted by single crystal seed could provide a promising orientation design pathway for eutectic single crystal ceramic. Crystallographic texture control is a major challenge in directionally solidified multiphase eutectic ceramics with complex faceted growth characteristics. In this study, the Czochralski (CZ) technique is proposed to prepare eutectic single crystal ceramic with large size (Φ 30 mm × 125 mm). A highly oriented and unique texture of Al 2 O 3 /Y 3 Al 5 O 12 (YAG) eutectic ceramic is formed via the 〈 11 2 ¯ 0 〉 Al 2 O 3 single crystal seed induction based on crystallographic orientation tailoring. The orientations of Al 2 O 3 /YAG eutectic are more strictly constrained by single crystal seed induction on the basis of the minimum interface energy principle, resulting in a defined single orientation relationship along the solidification direction. In particular, the single crystallographic orientation can be obtained in a short competitive solidification distance under the influence of epitaxial solidification from single crystal seed. Therefore, it has been confirmed that the orientations of 〈 11 2 ¯ 0 〉 Al 2 O 3 and 〈 111 〉 YAG are preferentially stabilized with the minimum under-cooling during directional solidification. Crystallographic orientation disturbances and instabilities due to polycrystalline crystal seed are avoided. Finally, the successful texture control inducted by 〈 11 2 ¯ 0 〉 Al 2 O 3 single crystal seed can provide a promising orientation design pathway for faced oxide eutectic solidification.

• An elastic fibrous porous ceramic (EFPCs) was successfully prepared using a simple filter press process. • The inter-layer gaps created by the quasi-layered structure and the well bonding between the layers are the keys to the elastic properties. • Compared with other elastic porous ceramics or fibrous aerogel, the as-prepared EFPCs have higher compressive stress, which endows it better shape-maintaining ability. • EFPCs have temperature-invariant elastic properties and low thermal conductivities. Fibrous porous ceramics are attractive for use as thermal insulation materials. However, the intrinsic brittleness of rigid materials has remained challenging and severely restricts their applications. Here, we demonstrated a facile method for fabricating elastic fibrous porous ceramics (EFPCs) with high compressive strength and low thermal conductivity through ordinary press filtration and subsequent heat treatment. The quasi-layered structure and the well-bonded bridging fibers between layers are the key points for the elasticity of EFPCs. The advanced EFPCs exhibited low density (∼0.126 g cm
−3 ), high compressive stress (∼0.356 MPa), and low thermal conductivity (∼0.026 W m−1 K−1 ). Compared with rigid porous fibrous materials, the EFPCs had deformability and excellent shape recovery. In contrast to flexible materials, the EFPCs possessed high compressive stress, thus endowing them with good resistance to deformation. The emergence of this fascinating material may provide new insights for candidate materials in thermal insulation and other fields. [Display omitted] In this paper, we demonstrated a facile method for fabricating elastic fibrous porous ceramics (EFPCs) with high compressive stress and low thermal conductivity by using silica fibers through ordinary press filtration method. The inter-layer gaps created by the quasi-layered structure and the well bonding between the layers are the keys to the elastic properties. Compared with traditional ceramics, the EFPCs possessed high compression ability up to 20% strain with ultimate stress as high as 0.356 MPa and high compression fatigue resistance of 200 cycles at 15% strain. The compressive test in the alcohol lamp flame and liquid nitrogen proved that the samples exhibited excellent temperature-invariant mechanical properties. The ideal combination of these properties may make EFPCs a strong competitor for thermal insulation and other applications in many areas [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

The Ln 2 NiO 4+δ -based layered phases have attracted much attention as components for high-performance protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) and electrolysis cells (PCECs) enabling energy conversion with good efficiency and low pollution. The present paper aims at rationally engineering the Cu-doped Pr 2 NiO 4+δ materials and analysing their electrode behaviour for reversible protonic ceramic cells operating in both PCFC and PCEC modes. Complex oxides of Pr 2 Ni 1– x Cu x O 4+δ (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) were synthesised using the citrate-nitrate method. The obtained materials were characterised considering their crystalline structures, as well as thermal, thermomechanical and electrotransport properties. A special interest was focused on the quality of an electrode/electrolyte interface governing the electrochemical performance of the cells fabricated. It is shown that a copper doping of x = 0.2 has a positive impact on the thermomechanical compatibility of the Ba(Ce,Zr)O 3 -based electrolytes, providing a better adhesion to these electrolytes at low-temperature sintering and resulting in a decrease of the polarisation resistance of the air electrodes. A reversible protonic ceramic cell demonstrates a power density of ~340 mW cm
–2 and a hydrogen output flux of ~3.8 ml cm−2 min−1 at 750 °C. The presented results propose modernised alkaline-earth-element-free and cobalt-free electrodes that can be successfully used in the electrochemical cells based on the-state-of-the-art proton-conducting electrolytes. • Pr 2 Ni 1– x Cu x O 4+ δ phases (where x = 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) were successfully prepared • Links between composition, defect structure and properties were elucidated • Pr 2 Ni 0.8 Cu 0.2 O 4+ δ (PNC0.2) shows the best thermomechanical characteristics • PNC0.2 exhibits also the improved electrochemical properties • PNC0.2 is a promising oxygen electrode candidate for SOFCs, SOECs or rSOCs.

Purpose The aim of this paper is to present advanced experimental–numerical methods for identification of spectral absorption and scattering properties of highly porous ceria ceramics in the range of semi-transparency at room and elevated temperatures.Design/methodology/approach At room temperature, a period of quasi-steady oscillations of the sample surface temperature generated in response to recurrent laser heating at fixed values of the maximum and minimum temperature of the irradiated surface is measured along with the normal-hemispherical reflectance. Radiative properties are then identified using a combined heat transfer model. At elevated temperatures, an analytical solution proposed in an earlier study for zirconia ceramics is used to retrieve spectral absorption coefficient of ceria ceramics from the measured normal emittance.Findings and Originality/value This method can be used to obtain small absorption coefficient of ceria ceramics at room temperature. The required measurements of both the normal-hemispherical reflectance and the period of quasi-steady oscillations of the irradiated surface temperature of the ceramics sample between fixed values of the maximum and minimum temperatures can be readily conducted using thermal laboratory equipment. Another method has been suggested for identification of the spectral absorption coefficient of ceria ceramics at elevated temperatures. This method is based on a relation between the measured normal emittance of an isothermal sample and the absorption coefficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
