Oxide ceramic is a kind of environmental friendly materials, which has attracted more and more interests for its bunch of advantages such as sound chemical, thermal stability, simple synthetic process, cheap price, harmless and safety. Therefore, Oxide ceramic will be a promising material in the future. In this work, polycrystalline samples of CuAlO2 were prepared by a solid state reaction method. The mixture of pure CuO and Al2O3 powders was firstly pressed under the pressure of 60 MPa, and then 200 MPa to prepare pellets of 5 mm thick and 10 mm in diameter. The green compacts were sintered at five different temperatures (1273 K, 1323 K, 1373 K, 1423 K, 1473 K) for various holding times (5 h, 10 h and 15 h) in the air and then the furnace cooled. The crystalline and microstructures of the sintered CuAlO2 bodies were detected by XRD and SEM. The properties of density, thermal conductivity were also investigated in detail. The experimental results show that CuAlO2 bodies were rhombohedral, belonging to R3m space group. It is found that the density and the thermal conductivity of CuAlO2 ceramics were significantly dependent on the sintering temperatures. The density and thermal conductivity increased with increasing the sintering temperatures. The thermal conductivity of samples sintered at 1273 and 1473 K with the same holding time (10 h) were 9.70 and 35.53 W/mk at the room temperature, 3.41 and 8.29 W/mk at 1100 K, respectively.

SrBi1.8Ce0.2Nb2O9 (SBCN) and SrBi1.8Ce0.2Ta2O9 (SBCT) powders were prepared via solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the SBCN and SBCT powders have the single phase orthorhom-bic Aurivillius structure at room temperature. The contribution of Raman scattering and FTIR spectroscopy of these samples were relatively smooth and resemble each other. The calcined powders were uniaxially pressed and sintered at 1250?C for 8 h to obtaine dense ceramics. Dielectric constant, loss tangent and AC conductivity of the sintered Ce-doped SrBi2Nb2O9 and SrBi2Ta2O9 ceramics were measured by LCR meter. The Ce-doped SBN (SBCN) ceramics have a higher Curie temperature (TC) and dielectric constant at TC (380?C and ?? ~3510) compared to the Ce-doped SBT (SBCT) ceramics (330?C and ?? ~115) when measured at 100Hz. However, the Ce-doped SBT (SBCT) ceramics have lower conductivity and dielectric loss.

The influence of [Formula: see text] ion sizes on the electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficients, thermal conductivity and [Formula: see text] values of [Formula: see text] prepared by the solid-state reaction method was investigated from 373 K to 973 K. The electrical resistivity decreases with decreasing [Formula: see text] ion sizes. Both the electrical resistivity and the Seebeck coefficients have a transition at about 630 K. Especially, the transition phenomenon disappears gradually with decreasing [Formula: see text] ion sizes, and is attributed to the oxygen adsorption of [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text] values increase with rising temperature or decreasing [Formula: see text] ion sizes. The [Formula: see text] with the smallest [Formula: see text] size has the maximum [Formula: see text] value that reaches 0.1 at 973 K.

La2Ti2-xNbxO7 (x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25) powders were synthesised via solid state reaction method, followed by sintering at 1673 K in a reducing atmosphere of 5% H2/N2 gas. The crystal structure, microstructure and thermoelectric (TE) properties of the pure and Nb-doped La2Ti2O7 ceramics were investigated. All compositions were single phase with porous microstructures consistent with their low experimental densities. Thermoelectric results of Nb-doped compositions showed improved properties in comparison to pure La2Ti2O7, suggesting that cation doping has the potential to improve the thermoelectric properties. Generally, the TE results obtained are not suitable for thermoelectric applications. However, the high Seebeck coefficient (≥190 μV/K) and glass-like thermal conductivity ( ≤2.26 w / m.k )  values achieved have opened a new window for exploring the thermoelectric potentials of La2Ti2O7 and other related oxides.

<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>LaFeO<sub>3</sub> system with doped Ti, Co, Cu was manufactured by solid state reaction method, it was sintered at 1250<sup>0</sup>C and 1290<sup>0</sup>C in 10 hours with a heating rate of 3<sup>0</sup>C/min. Using X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to examine the structure, it reveals that samples are single-phase and orthogonal-perovskite structure describing by the Pnma space group, the unit cell volume of the samples increases when Ti, Co, Cu are doped to replace ion Fe<sup>+3</sup>. The size of particle increase while raising the temperature of sintering. Measuring the resistance which depends on temperature between the room temperature and 1000K, it can be seen that when doping Co, Cu with the nominal component La(Fe<sub>0,2</sub>Co<sub>0,2</sub>Ti<sub>0,6</sub>)O<sub>3</sub> and La(Fe<sub>0,4</sub>Cu<sub>0,1</sub>Ti<sub>0,5</sub>)O<sub>3 </sub>, the conductivity of samples increases respectively. Especially, the conductivity of Cu doped sample is higher than two other samples, and reach the highest conductivity at about 900<sup>0</sup>C, Seebeck coefficient S of La(Fe<sub>0.6</sub>Ti<sub>0.4</sub>)O<sub>3</sub> can be change from positive to negative at the temperature of around 700<sup>0</sup>C.</p>

Polycrystalline La 0.93 Sb 0.07 MnO 3 ceramics were synthesized using solid-state reaction method. The samples were sintered at different temperatures ranging from 1100°C to 1200°C. It is observed that microstructural, transport and magnetic properties of La 0.93 Sb 0.07 MnO 3 compounds strongly depend on sintering temperatures (TS). With TS increasing, the degree of lattice distortion has been weakened, the grain size has become larger and grain boundaries have decreased. Furthermore, the resistivity was reduced, and metal–insulator transition temperature was enhanced; the saturation magnetization per unit mass has decreased with TS increasing. These effects of different TS on physical properties can be explained by the structure distortion and grain boundary contributions for La 0.93 Sb 0.07 MnO 3 compounds.

The olivine structured LiNi0.75Mg0.25-xCuxPO4 (x = 0, 0.05 and 0.1) cathode materials were synthesized by solid state reaction method. The XRD, FTIR and FESEM studies were conducted to investigate the phase purity, crystal structure, lattice parameters and morphology, respectively. The powder X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the single phase formation of the pure and doped compounds which are found to be orthorhombic with the parent LiNiPO4. Morphology and grain sizes of the materials were investigated through FESEM. The FTIR technique was used to characterize the stretching and bending vibrational modes of different functional groups existing in the materials. The cathode properties were analysed through impedance spectroscopy and indicated on improved electrical properties of the doped samples as compared to the pure LiNiPO4. The conductivity and modulus analyses of the samples were carried out at different temperatures and frequencies using the complex impedance spectroscopy technique.
