Abstract

The sintering behavior of Li-doped yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) was investigated. Li doping in YSZ reduced the densification temperature and enhanced grain growth, as a result of the formation of a lithium-zirconate-related eutectic liquid during sintering. For 5 at% Li doping, the sample developed a duplex microstructure consisting of small grains with second phase particles in the inner region and large grains with pores in the surface region. The second phase of Li₂ZrO₃ near the surface of the sample decomposed into Li₂O and ZrO₂, followed by the evaporation of Li₂O during sintering, leaving behind large pores in the microstructure.
