To obtain lead-free 0.5Ba (Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3-0.5(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 ceramics with excellent microstructure and electrical properties, BZT-BCT ceramics doping Mn4+ and Nb5+ was synthesized follow a conventional solid state reaction route. By means of SEM, XRD, quasi-static d33 meter, the influence of sintering temperature on microstructure, piezoelectric and dielectric properties of BZT-BCT-Mn-Nb ceramics was discussed. The results show that grain size and the dielectric loss of BZT-BCT-Mn-Nb ceramics increase as raising the sintering temperature. When BZT-BCT-Mn-Nb ceramics is sintered at 1380°C, the optimum piezoelectric coefficient and dielectric constant are 264pC/N and 4142, respectively.

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.

Nanocrystalline powders of giant dielectric constant material, CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO), have been prepared successfully by the molten salt synthesis (MSS) using KCl at 750 °C/10 h, which is significantly lower than the calcination temperature (∼1000 °C) that is employed to obtain phase pure CCTO in the conventional solid-state reaction route. The water washed molten salt synthesized powder, characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed to be a phase pure CCTO associated with ∼150 nm sized crystallites of nearly spherical shape. The decrease in the formation temperature/duration of CCTO in MSS method was attributed to an increase in the diffusion rate or a decrease in the diffusion length of reacting ions in the molten salt medium. As a consequence of liquid phase sintering, pellets of as-synthesized KCl containing CCTO powder exhibited higher sinterability and grain size than that of KCl free CCTO samples prepared by both MSS method and conventional solid-state reaction route. The grain size and the dielectric constant of KCl containing CCTO ceramics increased with increasing sintering temperature (900 °C–1050 °C). Indeed the dielectric constants of these ceramics were higher than that of KCl free CCTO samples prepared by both MSS method and those obtained via the solid-state reaction route and sintered at the same temperature. Internal barrier layer capacitance (IBLC) model was invoked to correlate the observed dielectric constant with the grain size in these samples.

Three different SrFe x Ti 1-x O 3(x = 0.001, x = 0.005, x = 0.01) ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction. The crystalline structure, surface morphology and dielectric properties were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Agilent 4294A impedance analyzer, respectively. It is shown that both the sintering temperature and doping concentration influence the lattice constant, grain size, dielectric constant and the dielectric loss. When the sintering temperature is higher than 1390°C, the lattice constant, grain size and dielectric constant all decrease with the increase of the doping concentration, except the dielectric loss tangent which shows the opposite trend. Leakage current tests show that the leakage current density falls down with the increase of Fe doping concentration in the given region.

In this research, alkaline niobate known as K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) lead-free piezoelectric ceramic was synthesis by solid state reaction method which pressing at different sintering temperatures (1000 °C and 1080 °C) prepared via hot isostatic pressing (HIP)). The effect of sintering temperature on structure and dielectric properties was studied. The optimum sintering temperature (at 1080 °C for 30 minutes) using hot isostatic pressing (HIP) was successfully increase the density, enlarge the particle grain size in the range of 0.3 µm – 2.5 µm and improves the dielectric properties of K0.5Na0.5NbO3 ceramics. The larger grain size and higher density ceramics body will contribute the good dielectric properties. At room temperature, the excellent relative permittivity and tangent loss recorded at 1 MHz (ɛr = 5517.35 and tan δ = 0.954), respectively for KNN1080HIP sample. The KNN1080HIP sample is also exhibits highest relative density which is 4.485 g/cm3. The ɛr depends upon density and in this work, the density increase as the sintering temperature increase, which resulting the corresponding ɛr value also increases.

The properties of modified Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT) based lead-free ceramics were investigated. The BNT-based ceramics were prepared by a solid-state mixed oxide method Phase formation was determined by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The X-ray diffraction analysis of the ceramics suggested that all samples exhibited a perovskite structure without second phase. The value of dielectric constant increased with increasing in sintering temperature. Moreover, high sintering temperatures could improve ferroelectric properties of BNT base lead-free ceramics.

In this paper, the structural, magnetic and electrical properties of multiferroic BaFe12O19/MgFe2O4/BaTiO3 composites have been studied. BaFe12O19/MgFe2O4/BaTiO3 composites were synthesized by using the conventional solid state reaction technique and sintered at different temperatures. XRD analysis confirmed the existence of hexagonal BaFe12O19, cubic spinel MgFe2O4 and tetragonal BaTiO3 for ferrites and ferroelectric phases, respectively. The suitable sintering temperature for preparing BaFe12O19/MgFe2O4/BaTiO3 composites is between 1000 °C and 1050 °C. SEM analysis showed that as a whole the grain size increases and the pores is reduced with sintering temperature; thus the sample became denser. The coercive field and saturation magnetization decreases when sintering temperature is increased. Resistance of the samples decrease from 103 kW to 19 kW while the capacitance increases from 0.8 nF to 4.0 nF with sintering temperature.
