Compositions having the general formula BaTiO3- wt% Ag, where , and 2 have been prepared by solid state ceramic processing and sintered at 500 and for 5 h. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), infrared absorption spectra (IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the obtained sensor pellets. It was found that no solid state reaction took place between BaTiO3and CuO during sintering process. The sensitivity of the prepared sensors to CO2gas increases with increasing sintering temperature and Ag content. The correlation between Ag content at different sintering temperature and structure characterization is discussed.

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.

This article summarizes the usage of high-temperature dilatometry in ceramic processing and powder technology with special attention on the description of the sintering process. A practical method for transformation of dilatometric shrinkage data into densification curves (the dependence of the sample density on sintering temperature or time) is described in detail. A new automatic procedure to recalculate sintering shrinkage data allowing the plot of the densification curve has been developed, which is presented here.

Abstract In traditional ceramic processing techniques, high sintering temperature is necessary to achieve fully dense microstructures. But it can cause various problems including warpage, overfiring, element evaporation, and polymorphic transformation. To overcome these drawbacks, a novel processing technique called “cold sintering process (CSP)” has been explored by Randall et al. CSP enables densification of ceramics at ultra-low temperature (⩽300°C) with the assistance of transient aqueous solution and applied pressure. In CSP, the processing conditions including aqueous solution, pressure, temperature, and sintering duration play critical roles in the densification and properties of ceramics, which will be reviewed. The review will also include the applications of CSP in solid-state rechargeable batteries. Finally, the perspectives about CSP is proposed.

The effect of milling time and sintering process on the dielectric properties of BaTiO3-based X9R ceramics was investigated. The characterization of the raw powders and the sintered ceramic was carried out by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The particle size distribution of the mixed powders was examined by Laser Particle Size Analyzer. The results shown that with the milling time extended, the Cruie Peak was depressed, or even disappeared. Moreover, with the rise of sintering temperature, the dielectric constant of the ceramics increased and the dielectric loss decreased gradually. Eventually, by milling for 11h and sintering at 1090°Cfor 2h, good dielectric properties were obtained, which were ε25°C≥ 2526, εr/εr25°C≤± 12% (–55~200°C), tanδ≤1.12% (25°C).

AbstractThe n‐type superconductor, Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4‐δ has been prepared by solid state reaction and solution precursor techniques under various conditions and characterized by means of X‐ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity and SEM measurements. Samples prepared by solution method displayed higher normal state resistance but better superconducting volume fractions than those prepared by conventional ceramic techniques. In addition, the solution precursor technique reduces the sintering temperature from 1150°C (used for solid‐state route) to 1000°C in achieving the superconducting phase. The solution‐route yields particles with relatively uniform size distribution, but poor connectivity between the grains. In contrast, the solid state preparations yield well connected grains but with a larger distribution of sizes. The observed differences in the superconducting properties of samples prepared by different techniques have been attributed to the differences in their microstructure.

In this study, we investigated the influence of MnTiO3 nanoparticles additive on hydrogen released performance of NaAlH4 for the first time. The MnTiO3 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using conventional solid-state ceramic route. It was found that the hydrogen released performance of NaAlH4 can be significantly improved by the addition of MnTiO3 nanoparticles. Meantime, the composite of NaAlH4 doped 5 wt% MnTiO3 possessed excellent dehydrogenation properties, the onset dehydrogenation temperature was only 70.6 °C, reduced by about 105 °C in comparison with the pristine NaAlH4, and approximately 5.01 wt% of hydrogen could be released from composite with temperature heated to 220 °C. The isothermal dehydrogenation test results indicated that the amount of hydrogen released by NaAlH4-5 wt% MnTiO3 composite could reach 4.4 wt% under 200 °C within 25 min. According to the analysis of X-ray diffraction, the presence of MnTiO3 nanoparticles did not alter the overall dehydrogenation pathway of NaAlH4, and the Al3 Ti phases formed after dehydrogenation, which enhanced hydrogen desorption performances of NaAlH4 .
