Perovskite-type was synthesized by two methods, the combustion method and conventional solid state reaction (SSR) method. The effect of synthesis methods on sinterability and physical properties of the ceramic were investigated. The results show that there are advantages of the combustion method in producing doped lanthanum chromites. Compared with the SSR method, the combustion method reduces the sintering temperature of La0.8Ca0.2CrO3, elevates the electronic conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of the ceramic, due to optimizing the microstructure. At the same densities level (–93%), the specimen synthesized by the combustion method reaches a superior electrical conductivity of 31.6 S·cm-1 and a compatible TEC of 10.7 × 10−6 K−1 at 800 °C.

LaCoO3 ceramics were prepared by conventional solid state reaction and normal sintering at the temperatures ranging from 1373 to 1523 K. The sintered densities increased with increasing sintering temperature and exceeded 90 % of the theoretical values when sintered above 1473 K. The thermoelectric properties of the samples sintered at different temperatures were investigated from 323 to 673 K. The LaCoO3 samples showed a negative Seebeck coefficient, whose absolute values decreased dramatically with increasing temperature in the range of 323 to 460 K, then changed to a positive value and lightly decreased above 460 K. The electrical conductivity increased with increasing temperature, indicating a semiconducting behavior. The Seebeck coefficients showed little difference between the samples sintered at different temperatures, but the power factor of the sample sintered at a higher temperature was larger because of the higher electrical conductivity.

Sodium super ionic conductor (NASICON)-type Na3Zr2Si2PO12 (NZSP) with the advantages of the high ionic conductivity, stability and safety is one of the most famous solid-state electrolytes. NZSP, however, requires the high sintering temperature about 1200 °C and long sintering time in the conventional solid-state reaction (SSR) method. In this study, the liquid-phase sintering (LPS) method was applied to synthesize NZSP with the use of NaPO3 glass with a low glass transition temperature of 292 °C. The formation of NZSP was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analyses in the samples obtained by the LPS method for the mixture of Na2ZrSi2O7, ZrO2, and NaPO3 glass. The sample sintered at 1000 °C for 10 h exhibited a higher Na+ ion conductivity of 1.81 mS/cm at 100 °C and a lower activation energy of 0.18 eV compared with the samples prepared by the SSR method. It is proposed that a new LPE method is effective for the synthesis of NZSP and the NaPO3 glass has a great contribution to the Na+ diffusion at the grain boundaries.

Fresnoite with composition Ba2TiSi2O8 (B2TS2) was first found in 1965, adopting a non-centrosymmetric structure. It also reported to crystallize in a tetragonal unit cell with a=8.52Å and c=5.210Å leading to some possible application as hydrophone, transducer and second harmonic generation and low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC). B2TS2 were synthesized by conventional solid state reaction. Phase pure B2TS2 was obtained after heating the pellets at a final sintering temperature of 1230 °C in air at 92 h. Study found that Fresnoite B2TS2 is a type of materials which are not ferroelectric and instead show perfect dielectric insulator behaviour with resistance >106Ωcm at temperatures below 750°C and also shows nonideal debye respone. The activation energy for conduction of B2TS2 samples is very high, indicating that these materials are highly insulating.

To improve voltage-gradient and to reduce the sintering temperature of ZnO varistors, high voltage-gradient ZnO varistors were synthesized with a conventional solid state reaction route. By means of SEM and DC parameter instrument for varistor, the influence of different technological parameters on microstructure, voltage-gradient and leakage current of ZnO varistors was investigated. The experimental results show that by using the process that presintering the additives at 850°C, the density is improved, the voltage-gradient is increased, and the leakage current is decreased. The optimum voltage-gradient and leakage current are 371V/mm and 3μA, respectively.

The crystal structure at room temperature (RT), thermal expansion from RT to 1000°C and electrical conductivity, from RT to 600°C, of the perovskite-type oxides in the system Pr 1-x Sr x FeO 3(x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) were studied. All the compounds have the orthorhombic perovskite GdFeO 3-type structure with space group Pbnm. The lattice parameters were determined by X-ray powder diffraction. The Pseudo cubic lattice parameter decreases with an increase in x, while the coefficient of linear thermal expansion increases. The thermal expansion is almost linear for x = 0 and 0.2. The electrical conductivity increases with increasing x while the activation energy decreases. The electrical conductivity can be described by the small polaron hopping conductivity model.

A layered perovskite type oxide, K2La2Ti3O10, was prepared by a gel technique using the polymerized complex (PC) method. A single phase K2La2Ti3O10 was obtained by adding twice the potassium required for stoichiometry. The Ni–K2La2Ti3O10 catalyst prepared by the PC method exhibited a higher photocatalytic activity for decomposition of H2O into H2 and O2 than that prepared by a conventional solid state reaction.

AbstractThe structural and electrical properties of SrCe1-xYbxO3 ceramics have been studied as a function of temperature and Yb-concentration using x-ray diffraction and impedance techniques. The influence of Yb-dopants on electrical transport and structural disorder has been studied. A correlation between the structural properties, electrical conductivity is observed and discussed. These measurements allow us to determine the mechanism of charge carrier compensation and also the concentration and mobility of the electrical species.

Ca 3-x Bi x Co 4 O 9(x = 0.0, 0.3) samples have been prepared at 1223 K by conventional solid-state reaction method. XRD and SEM investigations reveal that c-axis-oriented structure could be formed in Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 samples, whereas grains in Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 samples distribute randomly. Moreover, Bi doping increases the grain size and relative density of Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9. The electrical conductivity along the ab plane for Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 is about four times as large as that along the c-axis, but the Seebeck coefficient is almost isotropic, which leads to a remarkable rise of the power factor in ab plane for Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 compared with untextured Ca 3 Co 4 O 9. The textured structure in Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 sample should be attributed to the effect of Bi doping.
