The preparation of nano-sized BaCeO3 powder using starch as a polymerizationagent is described herein. Phase evolution during the decomposition process of a (BaCe)-gelwas monitored by XRD. A phase-pure nano-sized BaCeO3 powder was obtained aftercalcining of the (BaCe)-gel at 920 °C. The resulting powder has a specific surface area of 15.4m2/g. TEM investigations reveal particles mainly in the size range of 30 to 65 nm. Theshrinkage and sintering behaviour of resulting powder compacts were studied in comparisonto a coarse-grained mixed-oxide BaCeO3 powder (SBET = 2.1 m2/g). Dilatometricmeasurements show that the beginning of shrinkage of compacts from the nano-sized powder is downshifted by 300 °C compared to mixed-oxide powder. Compacts from the nano-sizedpowder reach a relative density of 91 % after sintering at 1450 °C for 10 h.

The formation of BaCeO3 by a co-precipitation method is described herein. The coprecipitationroute leads to an orange (BaCe)-precursor powder (1). To improve the sinteringbehaviour, a small amount of Ge4+ was incorporated, leading to a (BaCe0.95/Ge0.05)-precursor(2). Both precursor powders results in fine-grained preceramic powders (1A, 2A) aftercalcination. The shrinkage and sintering behaviour of resulting powder compacts were studiedin comparison to a coarse-grained mixed-oxide BaCeO3 powder (3). Compacts of 2A reach arelative density of 90 % after sintering at 1350 °C with grain-sizes between 0.9−3.2 μm. Onthe other hand ceramics of 1A and 3 have, after sintering at 1500 °C (10 h), relative densitiesof 85 % and 76 %, respectively. Ceramic bodies of 1A consisted of phase-pure orthorhombicBaCeO3, whereas bodies of 2A show reflections of BaCeO3 and a Ba2GeO4 phase. DTAinvestigations of samples 1A and 2A reveal three phase transitions at 255 °C (1A) and 256 °C (2A) as well as 383 °C (1A) and 380 °C (2A). A very weak one can be obtained in the range880−910 °C

By etching Nb4AlC3 powders in hydrofluoric acid, a phase-pure, highly conductive, Nb4C3 MXene – the second with formula M4X3 – was produced. The latter's structure was investigated using pair distribution function analysis.

Preparation of a very fine BaSnO3 powder by calcination of a barium tin 1,2-ethanediolato complex precursor and its sintering behaviour are described herein. A ratecontrolled calcination process to 820 °C leads to a nm-sized BaSnO3 powder with aspecific surface area of S = 15.1 m2/g (dav. = 55 nm). The powder has a slightly largercell parameter of a = 412.22(7) pm compared to the single crystal value, whichdecreases with increasing calcination temperature and reaches the reference value above1000 °C. The sintering behaviour is compared between fine- and coarse-grainedBaSnO3 powders. Corresponding powder compacts of the nano-sized BaSnO3 achieve arelative density of 90 % after sintering at 1600 °C for 1 h and at 1500 °C and a soakingtime of 30 h, whereas coarse-grained powder compacts reach only 80 % of the relative density at 1650 °C (10 h). Furthermore, the shrinkage mechanisms of fine and coarsegrainedpowder compacts have been investigated and are discussed.
