ABSTRACTNaxCoO2 has a particularly high contact resistance because it forms an insulated layer of NaHCO3 and Na2CO3, which are produced in a chemical reaction with carbon dioxide and water in air on the surface. In this study, we tried to improve the interface resistance between NaxCoO2 and Ag sheet electrodes by connecting these materials with the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The interface resistance between NaxCoO2 and Ag sheet electrodes connected by SPS is compared with that connected with Ag paste. In an experiment, the interface resistance of a sample treated by decrease to less than 1/600 of the former value. It is thought that the NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 insulated layer is decomposed through the application of a large value of applied DC current by using the SPS technique.

ZnO, as an important semiconductor material, has attracted much attention due to its excellent physical properties, which can be widely used in many fields. Notably, the defects concentration and type greatly affect the intrinsic properties of ZnO. Thus, controllable adjustment of ZnO defects is particularly important for studying its photoelectric properties. In this work, we fabricated ZnO ceramics (ZnO(C)) with different defects through spark plasma sintering (SPS) process by varying sintering temperature and using reduction environment. The experimental results indicate that the changes of color and light absorption in as-prepared ZnO originate from the different kinds of defects, i.e., oxygen vacancies (VO), interstitial zinc (Zni), and Zinc vacancies (VZn). Moreover, with the increase in calcination temperature, the concentration of oxygen defects and interstitial zinc defects in the ceramics increases gradually, and the conductivity of the ceramics is also improved. However, too many defects are harmful to the photoelectrochemical properties of the ceramics, and the appropriate oxygen defects can improve the utilization of visible light.
