    Abstract: The invention according to one aspect provides oxygen sorbent materials, which are able to remove trace amounts of oxygen in either a gas-flow or an enclosed system over a wide temperature range. In particular, the invention relates to bulk solid oxygen sorbents that can lower equilibrium oxygen concentrations to below 1 part per trillion (1 ppt). The oxygen sorbents have high surface area, nano-sized crystalline mixed oxides that include cerium oxide, zirconium oxide and preferably yttrium oxide, and an aliquot of catalytic materials such as precious metal. The present sorbents can work in noxious environments, since the materials are not sensitive to toxic elements, which would typically poison conventional catalysts. In another aspect, a product and method for fabricating an opto-electronic device that includes a getter material, incorporating an iteration of the sorbent material, is provided. The getter material operates by bulk transport and has a capacity to absorb and retain large quantities of oxygen per volume and other contaminants over a wide temperature range. This is a useful feature for opto-electronicnullalso known as photonicnulldevices, especially those with polymeric components, since they often suffer from photo-degradation caused by the presence of gaseous oxygen and other contaminants in the optical pathway.

    Abstract translation: 根据一个方面的本发明提供氧吸附剂材料,其能够在宽的温度范围内在气流或封闭系统中除去痕量的氧。 特别地,本发明涉及能将平衡氧浓度降至低于1兆比特(1ppt)的体固固体氧吸附剂。 氧吸附剂具有高表面积,纳米尺寸的结晶混合氧化物,其包括氧化铈,氧化锆和优选氧化钇,以及诸如贵金属的催化材料等分试样。 目前的吸附剂可以在有毒环境中使用,因为这些材料对于常规催化剂的毒性元素不敏感。 在另一方面,提供了一种用于制造光电子器件的产品和方法,其包括引入吸附剂材料迭代的吸气剂材料。 吸气剂材料通过散装运输,并且具有在宽的温度范围内吸收和保留大量氧气和其它污染物的能力。 这对于光电子(也称为光子器件,尤其是具有聚合物组分的光子器件)而言是有用的特征,因为它们经常遭受光通路中存在气态氧和其它污染物引起的光降解。
