In this work, comparison of TiO2 additions on the physical properties of YBa2Cu3Oδ superconductor system with nominal starting compositions at x= 0, 1, 2, and 5 wt.% was studied derived via solid state reaction and co-precipitation method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The result from XRD shown that all the samples were polycrystalline for solid state reaction, while single phase appear for co-precipitation methods. The intensity of the peak become higher with increasing amount of TiO2 addition indicating the presence of increased amount of the unreacted in the samples. The refine lattice parameters indicated that all the samples have an orthorhombic crystal structure without occurrence of orthorhombic-tetragonal phase transformation. Furthermore, from SEM images for solid state reaction and co-precipitation method showed that the grain size of the samples decreased with TiO2 increased. Small addition of TiO2 derived from co-precipitation method enhanced the YBCO microstructures.

Polycrystalline samples of YBa2Cu3O7−δ (Y-123) added with x mol% of BaZrO3 (BZO) nanoparticles (x = 0.0, 2.0, 5.0, and 7.0) were synthesized using co-precipitation (COP) and solid-state (SS) method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed the formation of Y-123 and Y-211 as the major and minor phases, respectively. The samples prepared using COP method showed higher weight percentage of Y-123 phase (≤98%) compared to the SS samples (≤93%). A peak corresponding to BZO was also found in the samples added with BZO nanoparticles. The increasing intensity of the BZO peak as the BZO amount increased showed the increasing amount of the unreacted nanoparticles in the samples. Refinement of unit cell lattice parameters indicated that all the samples have an orthorhombic crystal structure and there is no orthorhombic-tetragonal phase transformation. As observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), all the samples showed randomly distributed grains with irregular shape. The average grain size for the pure sample prepared using COP method is smaller (0.30 µm) compared with that of the pure SS sample (1.24 µm). Addition of 7.0 mol% BZO led to an increase of average grain size to 0.50 μm and 2.71 μm for the COP and SS samples, respectively, indicating grain growth. AC susceptibility (ACS) measurement showed a decrease in the onset critical temperature, Tc-onset with BZO addition. Comparatively, Tc-onset for the COP samples is higher than that of the SS samples. The value of Josephson’s current, Io increased up to 2.0 mol% BZO addition, above which the Io decreased more drastically for the SS samples. The value of Io is 53.95 μA and 32.08 μA for the 2.0 mol% BZO added SS and COP samples, respectively. The decrease of Io is attributed to the distribution of BZO particles at the grain boundaries as also reflected in the drastic decrease of phase lock-in temperature, Tcj. As a result of smaller average grain size, the presence of more grain boundaries containing insulating BZO particles led to lower Io in the COP samples.

Abstract NASICON-type solid-state electrolytes have gathered wide attention to meet the requirements of high-energy-density batteries. In this study, Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) were synthesized through co-precipitation method. The composition, phase transformation, microstructure and particle size of LATP powder were characterized in detail. Pure LATP without any detectable secondary phases can be obtained at 800 ℃ with size about 590 nm. The relatively dense surface microstructure for LATP ceramics was clearly observed. In addition, the ionic conductivities of LATP pellets increased at first and then decreased with the increased sintering temperature and time. Owing to the highest relative density (95.6%), LATP (sintered at 900 ℃ for 6h, LATP-9006) exhibited a highest total conductivity of 2.19×10− 4 S/cm with a low activation energy of 0.32 eV. The results suggest that co-precipitation synthesized LATP-9006 ceramic electrolyte could be a promising alternative towards achieve a safe solid-state battery. Moreover, the co-precipitation method is suitable for the preparation of other oxide ceramic electrolytes.

Nd:Gd2O3-HfO2 powder has been prepared with a co-precipitation method. The size of Nd:Gd2O3-HfO2 powder is near 50nm. Transparent Nd:Gd2O3-HfO2 ceramics were successfully fabricated by sintering the powder compact at 1800°C under H2 atmosphere. The synthesis process and optical properties were investigated in detail. By measuring the optical properties of transparent Nd:Gd2O3-HfO2 ceramics, we found that the absorption bond of Nd ions near 808nm is enlarged, and the FWHM of the emission bond near 1060nm is near 25nm. It was believed that Nd:Gd2O3-HfO2 transparent ceramic is potential laser material for the usage in solid-state heat-capacity laser(SSHCL) application.

Neodymium-doped gadolinium gallium garnet (Nd:GGG) precursor and ceramic were prepared by liquid phase co-precipitation or solid-state methods, and the properties were studied. The results indicate that the precursor prepared with the liquid phase co-precipitation method has a small particle size. The sub-transparent ceramic was obtained after the body sintered for 2-3h at 1650°C at 1100Pa using liquid-phase co-precipitation method. When the body was sintered at 1750°C for 2-3h, a sintered body with non-transparency was obtained. The absorption spectrum and fluorescence spectrum of the sub-transparent ceramic were measured with the cross section at 807nm was calculated as1×10-20cm2 and the strongest emission peak located at 1061nm.
