In the present work, pure nanocrystalline monoclinic Zirconia (ZrO2) has been successfully synthesized and optimized by the modified co-precipitation method. The concentration of raw material has been optimized with the fixed amount of precipitation agent (Potassium hydroxide KOH). The thermal history of the precursor has been examined through TG/DTA analysis. All the samples are subjected to study the structure, fingerprints of the molecular vibrations, and morphology analyses. The representative sample has been analyzed through Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and X-ray Photo Electron Spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. The as-prepared sample exhibits the better crystallinity and surface morphology with lesser particle size (190 nm) when the raw material concentration is 0.2 M. The as-prepared ZrO2 filler (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 wt.%) is spread through the enhanced polymer electrolyte P(S-MMA) (27 Wt.%)-LiClO4 (8 wt.%)-EC + PC (1;1 of 65 wt.%) complex system via solution casting method. The as-synthesized electrolyte films are examined via complex impedance analysis. P(S-MMA) (27 wt.%)-LiCIO4 (8 wt.%)-EC + PC (1 ;1 of 65 wt.%)-6 wt.% of ZrO2 shows the high ionic conductivity 2.35 × 10–3 Scm–1. Temperature-dependent ionic conductivity studies obey the non-linear behavior. The enhanced ZrO2 has been expected to enhance the other electrochemical properties of the lithium secondary battery.

Yttrium-doped (Sr0.45Pb0.55)TiO3 ceramics have been studied by complex impedance analysis. As a sort of NTC-PTC composite thermistor, it exhibited a significantly large negative temperature coefficient of resistivity below Tc in addition to the ordinary PTC characteristics above Tc. It is found that the NTC effect in NTC-PTC materials was not originated from the deep energy level of donor (bulk behavior), but from the electrical behavior of the grain boundary. Therefore, the NTC-PTC composite effect was assumed to be a grain boundary effect, and yttrium was a donor at shallow energy level. The NTC-PTC ceramics were grain boundary controlled materials.

<p class="Abstract"><span lang="EN-US">The influences of calcination temperature and doping with cobalt in A–site on structural and dielectric properties of CaCu<sub>3-x</sub>Co<sub>x</sub>Ti<sub>4</sub>O<sub>12</sub> (CCCxTO, x = 0.00, 0.02 and 0.10) ceramics sintered at 1050 <sup>0</sup>C for 8h were investigated. The ceramic samples are prepared by the conventional solid-state method using high purity oxide powders, and they are calcined at 850 °C, 950 °C and 1050 <sup>0</sup>C for 4h. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of pure and doped CCTO samples calcined at 950 °C and 1050 <sup>0</sup>C showed no traces of any other secondary phases, while impurity phases alongside CCTO phase in the x=0.00 sample calcined at 850 <sup>0</sup>C was observed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigation showed an increase in grain size with increasing of Co content and calcining temperature. Dielectric measurements indicated that the dielectric constant of the pure CCTO calcined at 1050 <sup>0</sup>C/4h has a low value in the frequency range of 1kHz up to 1MHz, whereas the substitution of Co up to x = 0.10 into CCTO caused a huge increase in the dielectric constant value of the calcined samples which is equal to 153419 and 18957 at 950 <sup>°</sup>C and 1050 <sup>0</sup>C respectively. The complex impedance analysis of all samples shows a decrease in resistance with an increasing temperature, which suggests a semiconductor nature of the samples.</span></p>

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.

This research is about nanoparticles hematite (NPH) synthesized and characterized from natural iron sands using co-precipitation method and its potential applications as extrinsic semiconductor materials type-N. The aims of this study is to determine the process parameters to obtain hematite of high purity degree and to observe its physical characteristics as an extrinsic semiconductor materials type-N. The iron sand was first separated by magnetic technique and then dissolved into HCl solution before conducting the precipitation process. Precipitation was done by dripping ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH). Precipitated powder was dried at 80°C for 2 hours, and then calcined at 500°C, 600°C 700°C for 2 hours respectively. The composition of iron sands, purity degree, hematite mineral grain size, and space group were analyzed by XRF, XRD, FTIR and SEM. The XRF analysis result of raw material, showed that dominant element and composition in the sample is Fe with purity degree is 90.51%. The XRD result before and after precipitation showed Fe3O4 and α-Fe2O3. Fe3O4 purity degree was obtained 85%, and α-Fe2O3 in NPH500, NPH600, NPH700 were 63%, 83%, and 76%, respectively. FTIR spectral showed crystalline hematite characteristics stong band of 472.07 to 559.62 cm-1. SEM image showed the morphology of agglomeration particulates, when the calcinaton temperature increases, the agglomeration will be seperated due to thermal energy. Based on the charaterization results it was found that the natural iron sand synthesized has the potential to be applied as an N-type extrinsic semiconductor material.
