  4. Abstract:
  5. ZnO–CeO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by microwave combustion and deposited by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The effect of using two different alcohols, ethanol and methanol, was investigated on EPD behavior and morphology of deposited film. Moreover, the effect of concentration of nanoparticles and applied voltage on the mass of deposit and the variation in the current density were investigated. With a change in the alcohol type, the surface morphology of deposition changed and some voids were observed on the deposition surface in ethanol. In all cases, with increasing concentration of nanoparticles in suspension, the number of developed cracks increased. Besides, a rise in voltage led to an increase in the number of cracks. The EPD processes in ethanol and methanol suspension were simulated over time using different zero boundary conditions. Hemi-spherical morphology was seen for the nanoparticles deposited in ethanol. This kind of growth was simulated based on the changes in electrical field. © 2016 The American Ceramic Society
