Abstract Strontium Titanate (SrTiO3) is one attractive material studied. In this study, SrTiO3 has been fabricated via the co-precipitation technique. The samples were sintered at 800°C and 900°C with holding times of 2 h and 4 h for each temperature. The purposes of this study were to synthesize SrTiO3 material using co-precipitation technique and to observe the microstructure and chemical bonds of the SrTiO3 as the variations of the sintering temperatures and holding times. According to the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) results, the sintering temperatures and holding times influenced the intensity values and peak broadening. The alteration in both parameters consequently changed the crystallite size and lattice strain of the SrTiO3 material. Furthermore, the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) results validated the SrTiO3 material by existence of Sr-Ti-O chemical bonds. Also, the absorption peaks of O-H, C-H, and C=O chemical bonds in the SrTiO3 declined due to the higher temperature and longer holding time demonstrating impurities declined. Therefore, according to this study, the sintering temperature of 900°C and the holding time of 4 h was the best parameter for fabricating SrTiO3 powder.

The precursor prepared by co-precipitation method was sintered at various temperatures to synthesize crystalline manganese tungstate (MnWO4). Sintered MnWO4 showed the best crystallinity at a sintering temperature of 800 °C. Rare earth ion (Dysprosium; Dy3+) was added when preparing the precursor to enhance the magnetic and luminescent properties of crystalline MnWO4 based on these sintering temperature conditions. As the amount of rare earth ions was changed, the magnetic and luminescent characteristics were enhanced; however, after 0.1 mol.%, the luminescent characteristics decreased due to the concentration quenching phenomenon. In addition, a composite was prepared by mixing MnWO4 powder, with enhanced magnetism and luminescence properties due to the addition of dysprosium, with epoxy. To one of the two prepared composites a magnetic field was applied to induce alignment of the MnWO4 particles. Aligned particles showed stronger luminescence than the composite sample prepared with unsorted particles. As a result of this, it was suggested that it can be used as phosphor and a photosensitizer by utilizing the magnetic and luminescent properties of the synthesized MnWO4 powder with the addition of rare earth ions.

In this work, we report the effect of sintering temperature (900°C, 1000°C, 1100°C and 1200°C) on the electrical and magnetotransport properties of polycrystalline La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO). Single phase of LSMO hexagonal structure (R-3c) accompanied with minor phases was successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method. With increasing sintering temperature, grain growth was promoted and grain connectivity was improved. It was found that an enhancement of resistivity on smaller grain size was due to larger grain surface over volume (grain boundaries effect). The shifting of the metal-insulator transition (TMI) to higher temperature was also responsible for observed changes in physical properties. TMI of 900°C, 1000°C and 1100°C were 232 K, 278 K and 298 K respectively however 1200°C was out of measurement range (higher than 300 K). In summary, CP900 with smaller grain size distribution (~200 nm) displayed the highest resistivity and MR% of -19.2% (at 80 K, 10 kG).

Gd-doped ceria solid solutions have been recognized to be leading electrolytes for use in intermediate-temperature fuel cells. In this paper, the preparation, solubility, and densification of Gd0.1Ce0.9O1.95 ceramics derived from carbonate co-precipitation are reported. The dissolution of Gd2O3 in CeO2 lattice was identified to be completed during the co-precipitation process by studying the lattice parameter as a function of temperature. After calcination at 800 °C for 2 h, the nano-sized Gd0.1Ce0.9O1.95 powder (∼33 nm) with a nearly spherical shape and a narrow particle-size distribution was obtained. This calcined powder has high sinterability and maximum densification rate at ∼1000 °C. Sintering at 1300 °C for 4 h yielded over 97% relative density with near maximum. The grain size increased with increases in sintering temperature. The ionic conductivity of these pellets was tested by alternating current impedance spectroscopy to elucidate the contribution of intragranular and intergranular conductivity to the total ionic conductivity. It was found that sintering temperature does not affect intragranular conductivity, though intergranular conductivity was strongly influenced by grain size, grain boundary area, and relativity density. This pellet sintered at 1500 °C for 4 h showed a high ionic conductivity of 5.90 × 10−2 s/cm when measured at 750 °C. The characterization and structural evaluation of the as-received powders were carried out using x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, and dilatometer and impedance analysis.
