This work reports the influence of sintering temperature on structure, microstructure and piezoelectric properties of 0.48 Ba(Zr[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text])O3–0.52 (Ba[Formula: see text]Ca[Formula: see text])TiO3(BZT–BCT) doped with ZnO nanoparticle ceramics manufactured by a conventional solid state reaction method. By increasing sintering temperature, the piezoelectric behaviors were improved and rose up to the best parameters at a sintering temperature of 1450[Formula: see text]C ([Formula: see text] pC/N and [Formula: see text]). The corresponding properties of undoped BZT–BCT ceramics were investigated as a comparison. The received results show that the sintering behavior and piezo-parameters of doped BZT–BCT samples are better than the undoped BZT–BCT samples at each sintering temperature.

Microstructures and microwave dielectric properties of Ca(Sm0.5Nb0.5)O3 ceramics, prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method, were systematically investigated by varying calcining temperature, sintering temperature and cooling rate. The XRD result showed that a single Ca(Sm0.5Nb0.5)O3 phase could be synthesized at a calcining temperature of 1200 °C. Optimized combination of microwave dielectric properties of εr = 22.36, Q×f = 18030 GHz and τf = -31.2 ppm/°C was obtained for furnace-cooled Ca(Sm0.5Nb0.5)O3 ceramics sintered at 1550 °C for 4 h. However, some microcracks were found from the microstructures of the furnace-cooled specimens. Further, the Q×f value could be increased by controlling the cooling rate during the sintering process due to the disappearance of microcracks in the final material. With a cooling rate of 2 °C/min, Ca(Sm0.5Nb0.5)O3ceramics exhibited an enhanced Q×f value of 37130 GHz.

Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 samples have been sintered in temperature range of 1183–1243 K by conventional solid-state reaction method. XRD and SEM investigations show that c-axis-oriented structure could be formed in these samples and Lotgering factors increase with the increase of sintering temperature when it is below 1223 K, from 52% for the sample sintered at 1183 K to 86% for the sample sintered at 1223 K. Due to decomposition of Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9, however, the c-axis-oriented structure was destroyed in the sample sintered at 1243 K although Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 phase could be recovered at the cooling stage. The size of grains in all samples increases with the increase of sintering temperature, but the relative densities are almost kept unchanged for the samples sintered at the temperature higher than 1183 K. Due to the highly textured structure, the transport properties of the sample sintered at 1223 K are anisotropic and its ZT values in the ab plane are obviously larger than those along the c-axis.

Using Zr(NO3)4.5H2O as Zr source, PZT powder with a single-phase perovskite structure was synthesized by a sol-autocombustion method at a calcining temperature of 700°C. Compared with a solid-state reaction method, the calcining temperature of PZT can be lowered by 200°C when using the sol-autocombustion method. PMZN ceramic was prepared at a sintering temperature of 1050°C with the resulting PZT powder as a base, which can lower the sintering temperature by 150°C. The microstructure of the PMZN ceramic was investigated by XRD and SEM, and the dielectric and piezoelectric properties were measured. The results showed that the PMZN piezoelectric ceramic has a tetragonal perovskite structure, showing the main electrical properties as follows: Kp = 0.54, Qm = 1073, tgd £ 0.001, e33 T/ e0 = 1236, d33 = 454pC/N, and fs =136.1KHz.

Abstract (K,Na,Li)NbO3-BaZrO3-(Bi,Na)TiO3-x B2O3 (abbreviated as KNLN-BZ-BNT-x B2O3) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. The effects of B2O3 content on dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the KNLN-BZ-BNT ceramics have been studied. Based on the identification by X-ray diffraction (XRD), all the samples show a two-phase coexistence zone consisting of rhombohedral (R) and tetragonal (T) phases. For the ceramics with x = 0.5 wt%, the sintering temperature was observed to reduce from 1200 oC to 940 oC, while the samples maintained a high relative density around 97%. Because of the high densification and large grain size, the dielectric and piezoelectric properties were improved. As a result, the ceramics with x = 0.5 wt% sintered at 940 oC exhibited good properties of d 33 = 197 pC/N, k p= 0.29, tan δ = 0.029 and ε r = 1889, together with a Curie temperature (T C) of 222 oC.

Boron oxide doped barium stannate titanate ceramics were prepared by a solid-state reaction method. Properties of the ceramics were investigated. The experimental results showed that most properties of the ceramics depend on the sintering temperature. The higher relative permittivity of 13887 with tan 0.034 at 34 °C was observed for the samples sintered at 1350 C. Piezoelectric coefficient (d33) of the samples was found to be in the range of 90 - 115 pC/N. However, the optimum d33 coefficient was observed for the sample sintered at 1250 C.

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics Sr2Bi4-xGdxTi5O18 were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. Pure bismuth layered structural ceramics with uniform gain size were obtained in all samples. The effect of Gd-doping on the dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of Sr2Bi4Ti5O18 ceramics were also investigated. It was found that that Gd3+ dopant gradually decreased the Curie temperature (Tc) with the lower dielectric loss (tand) of SBTi ceramics. In addition, Gd-doping with appropriate content improved the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the SBTi ceramics. The piezoelectric constant (d33) of the Sr2Bi3.9Gd0.1Ti5O18 ceramic reached the maximum value, which is 22 pC/N. The results showed that the Sr2Bi4-xGdxTi5O18 ceramic was a promising lead-free piezoelectric material.

Ce3+-doped 0.5La2O3-2SrO-0.5Al2O3 (LSA:Ce) phosphors had been successfully synthesized using a conventional solid-state reaction method under reducing atmosphere (H2/N2 =1/5). The phase, morphologies and luminescence properties of the LSA:Ce phosphors were investigated. The emission intensity of LSA:Ce phosphors was improved by the addition of SrF2 as flux, and red shift of PL spectra peak was observed in this phosphors. Research results shown that the LSA:Ce phosphors have the potential to meet the development of white light-emitting diodes.
