Abstract B4C added Ca3Co4O9 in different proportions (0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 wt.%) have been fabricated using solid-state method. Powder XRD patterns have shown that only Ca3Co4O9 phase can be identified in all the samples. Microstructural observations have allowed determining that B4C compound has been superficially oxidized, producing liquid B2O3 phase during sintering, which has reacted with the Ca3Co4O9 grains to produce bridges between them. In spite of the increase of porosity, these bridges led to an important raise (more than two times) of mechanical properties. On the other hand, while B4C addition has not significantly influenced S values, it has decreased electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion. Consequently, ZT values have been also increased, reaching 0.24 in 0.25 wt.% B4C containing samples, which is very close to the best values reported in the literature for Ca3Co4O9 compounds, and two times higher than the obtained in pure materials in this work.

AbstractNovel luminescent materials Ca3-xSi2O7: xPr3+ were successfully prepared by the high-temperature solid-state method. The crystal structure, morphology, and optical spectrum were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and spectroscopy, respectively. The XRD patterns of the samples indicate that the crystal structure is monoclinic symmetry. The SEM shows that the selected sample has good crystallinity although its appearance is irregular and scalelike. The peak of the excitation spectrum of the sample is located at around 449 nm, corresponding to 3H4→3P2 transition of Pr3+. The peak of the emission spectrum of the sample is situated at around 612 nm which is attributed to 3P0→3H6 transition of Pr3+, and the colour is orange-red. The optimum concentration for Pr3+ replaced Ca2+ sites in Ca3Si2O7: Pr3+ is 0.75 mol%. The lifetime (8.48 μs) of a typical sample (Ca2.9925Pr0.0075)Si2O7 is obtained. It reveals that orange-red phosphors Ca3-xSi2O7: xPr3+ possess remarkable optical properties and can be used in white light emitting devices.

3Y-TZP powder has been successfully synthesized by gel solid-state method. The structural phases of powder particles were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and the morphology was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The average size of grains was 230 nm. The sintering behavior, mechanical properties and microstructure of 3Y-TZP ceramics sintered by this powder were investigated. The experiment results showed that the mechanical properties of ceramics were excellent.

In this paper, different sintering temperature used to study the influence of temperature on the structural and thermal properties of zinc oxide (ZnO). On this research, the sample was prepared by solid-state method for zinc oxide (ZnO) at different sintering temperature which was 700°C, 800°C and 900°C. It was observed that the density of bulk ZnO that sintering at 900°C had the higher value of density 5.03 g/cm3. The microhardness of the bulk ZnO had a higher measurement 397.3 Hv after sintered at 900°C. ZnO that sintering at 900°C had been observed that had thermal conductivity 1.1611W/cm-K in the sintering temperature range 700°C to 900°C.

Na9Sc(MoO4)6{nonasodium scandium hexakis[tetraoxidomolybdate(II)]} was synthesised by a solid-state method. The basic structure units are polyhedral clusters composed of an ScO6octahedron and three NaO6octahedra sharing total edges. The clusters are connected by sharing vertices with bridging MoO4tetrahedra, forming a three-dimensional framework where the cavities are occupied by the other two crystallographically independent Na atoms.
