Manufacturing Li2TiO3-based Tritium Breeder Materials by Volume-Controlled Spark Plasma Sintering with an Optimized Microstructure

Multifunctional ceramic breeder materials are highly desirable for the deuterium-tritium fusion to achieve high efficiency in breeding tritium through neutron irradiation of lithium-containing blankets. Li2TiO3 displays unique attributes as a potential ceramic breeder material. An optimized microstructure with three-dimensional interconnected pore structure is required for rapid transport of the tritium for effective fuel cycle, which […]
