How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper presents the results of obtaining multicomponent heat-protective radiation-resistant ceramic materials based on the WO3–Bi2O3–ZnO–TeO2–CeO2–ZrO2 compounds obtained by mechanochemical solid-phase synthesis with further annealing at a temperature of 1000 °C. The introduction of doping substances into the structure in the form of metal oxides makes it possible to prevent undesirable structural changes in ceramics and improve the durability and stability of the system. The choice of the synthesis of ceramics based on zirconium oxide is associated with the presence of several valuable physical and mechanical properties of the substance, and, as a consequence, the possibility of application in the field of functional materials for use in a variety of technical fields. The processes of phase formation in multicomponent ceramics based on oxide refractory compounds (WO3, Bi2O3, ZnO, TeO2, CeO2, ZrO2) were studied by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive and x-ray phase analysis methods. Using a combination of the presented methods, the following results were obtained, which make it possible to comprehensively characterize the samples under study, as well as establish the dependence of the influence of variations in the oxides used on the phase composition and morphological features of the ceramics. Analysis of morphological parameters showed that with increasing dopant concentration, a denser structure of agglomerates is formed, which is associated with sintering of particles at higher dopant concentrations. According to the obtained results of energy dispersive analysis, it was found that the addition of ZrO2 results a slight redistribution of elements in the structure, so the atomic content of Ce, W, Bi, and Te decreased by 2.58; 3.38; 2.12; 1.91 times, respectively, and the atomic content of Zn increased by 1.32 times. Analysis of diffraction patterns showed that the studied samples WO3-Bi2O3-ZnO-TeO2-CeO2-ZrO2 are characterized by the content of Zn3(TeO6), ZnTeO3, CeO2, Bi2O3, Bi2WO6, ZnWO4, Ce5Zr3O16, ZnO, (Zr0.98Ce0.02)O2 phases.
