Redox capable ceramic material with nano-Ni metal particle

other products available include calibration using AC susceptibility standard reference sample, along with mounting by GE-7031 varnish certified to be magnetically clean.

Partially reduced sample at 600C for 30 minutes in 5% H2 gas selectively forms nano-Nickel particles on BZY-10 ceramic materials.  Expected to be superb at coking resistance with BaO formed on surface, complimenting the catalytic properties of the nickel metal.

As the amount of barium nickelate increases, it first coats the ceramic nano-particles in a lattice matching monotonic layer, then forms a distinctive secondary phase on the particle, while a large excess leaves behind a third phase independent of the ceramic. Each of these solid-state processes is based on the final oxidation value of the nickel.  This allows the particles to be tailored for various applications, like reactive sintering of the ceramic to other host surfaces.
