This study demonstrates the feasibility of obtaining glass-ceramic materials by using coffee husk ash as a source of K2O. The analysis of structural, thermal, and microstructural properties reveals that the final materials consist of diopside and nepheline crystals embedded into a glassy phase. These materials offer unique advantages for solid oxide cells, with similar thermal expansion coefficients and high Vicker's microhardness values.
In this work, glass-ceramic materials are obtained from a precursor glass in which coffee husk ash is used as a K2O source. We demonstrate an analysis based on the structural, thermal and microstructural properties of the constituent materials. The final sintered bodies consist of diopside and nepheline crystals embedded into a glassy phase. These materials offer unique advantages as sealants for solid oxide cells (SOCs), with thermal expansion coefficients similar to those of other SOC components (9-10 x 10-6 degrees C- 1) and Vicker's microhardness values of ~7 GPa. These results indicate the feasibility of obtaining glass-ceramics by an environment friendly route, using coffee husk ash instead of commercial potassium carbonate.
