Korean researchers develop heat-resistant material that withstands 1000°C/1832°F | Not just high temperatures, the material also works well under extreme UV exposure making it ideal for applications in space too.
A research team at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a thermally refractory material that maintains its optical properties even at temperatures of 1,000 degrees Celsius and in strong ultraviolet illumination.
According to the press release, the researchers used pulsed laser deposition techniques to fabricate lanthanum-doped barium stannate oxide (LBSO) in nanoscale thin film. The research team also fabricated a thermal emitter in the infrared band using LBSO and found the material stable when used in multilayers or as a thin film. "LBSO will contribute to addressing to climate change and the energy crisis by accelerating the commercialization of thermoelectric power generation," added Kim in the press release.
