Oriented lamellar eutectic composites of CoO and ZrO2 (CaO) platelets
were oxidized in oxygen at 880-degrees-C to form Co3O4 between the zir
conia plates. The relatively rapid longitudinal oxidation of CoO can b
e described by an electrochemical local cell model whereby oxygen ions
are conducted from the external surface to the internal oxidation fro
nt through the zirconia electrolyte. The crystallographic relationship
between the Co3O4 and ZrO2 (CaO) resulting phases is the same as that
found for CoO and ZrO2 (CaO) in the starting material.
