Application
Strontium zirconate, a versatile mixed metal oxide, serves a key role in the electronics industry. Its primary application lies in its use as a high-purity white powder for sputtering targets in the production of thin film capacitors. This material is notable for its ability to function effectively as electronic ceramics and in materials requiring high melting points. Furthermore, due to its impressive proton conductivity at elevated temperatures, strontium zirconate is also utilized in fuel cells and hydrogen sensors. The effectiveness and applicability of strontium zirconate are significantly influenced by the purity, crystal structure, and particle size of the powder, which are largely determined by the synthesis process. Manufacturing methods include both solid and wet techniques, such as conventional solid-state reactions, combustion processes, co-precipitation, hydrothermal methods, the Pechini process, and citrate complexation, all aimed at achieving consistent purity and composition.
