Customised compositions
CerPoTech offers tailor-made submicron ceramic oxide powders in accordance with customer specifications. Almost any thermodynamically stable oxide composition of elements from our periodic table can be prepared, and we offer variations of our existing portfolio upon request.
Powder morphology
Specific surface area, particle size, particle size distribution can be optimised to suit the requirements from your chosen application.
Composites
Do you want higher efficiency of you fuel cell? Are you not happy with the performance of your membranes? We offer highly dispersed composite materials of two co-existing phases, perfect for e.g. a functional layer in your solid oxide cell. Our composites have a larger fraction of triple points compared to conventional composite materials. Please send us a message and we will help you find an optimal solution.
Screening series
Are you looking for a series of doping levels within a material system while lowering your costs? Our production equipment is excellent for such task where e.g. four or five different stoichiometries can be investigated within one production batch.
Rare-earth elements
Due to a strong relationship with one of our suppliers we can offer very competetive prices for a wide range of oxides based on rare-earth elements such as La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Yb and Lu.
A typical application for advanced oxide materials is thin films. In deposition techniques such as PLD (Pulsed Laser Deposition) or magnetron sputtering, a sintered disc is used as the source of material. We offer PLD- or sputtering targets made of almost any material from our product portfolio, in addition to customised compositions. With our in house equipment we currently produce targets with the dimensions 1 inch (25 mm) diameter and 2 – 10 mm thickness. Together with our partners we offer the capability to deliver larger discs and also other geometries, e.g. rectangular substrates.
Our most popular target materials are listed below. For more information, please contact us.
