NiO/YSZ composite particles with 20–35 mol% Y 2O 3 stabilized ZrO 2 (YSZ) were synthesized by the spray pyrolysis (SP) method. The NiO/YSZ composite particles showed morphology of NiO grains partially or fully covered with fine YSZ grains. The composite particles also had good interface connection b...
