Potassium geopolymer (KGP) ceramics are synthesized by the molten salt method. Metakaolin changes to a potassium geopolymer through a reaction with potassium silicate at 80 °C/24 h. Potassium geopolymer, with a silicon to aluminum (Si/Al) molar ratio of 2, turns into a leucite ceramic in molten potassium salt (KCl) at 900 °C/6 h. X-Ray Diffraction analysis of the KGP treated by molten KCl salt shows the amorphous phase change to leucite crystal phase. A scanning electron microscope image of sintered KGP proves that the grain size of the leucite crystal decreases with soaking time. Compared with solid state sintering, liquid molten salt sintering KGP can be more easily formed into dense ceramics at lower temperatures.

Ba0.5Sr0.5MoO4powders with scheelite-type tetragonal structure were successfully synthesized by a molten salt method. The structure, morphology, and luminescent property of the as-prepared powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL), respectively. The results show that the tetragonal Ba0.5Sr0.5MoO4powders were synthesized at 650°C for 6 h by the molten salt method. The calcining temperature, the soaking time, and the molar ratio of the salt to Na2MoO4have great influence on the phase, size, morphology, and PL properties. The better crystallinity and smaller particle size, the higher PL emission peak is.

In this paper, LiOH·H2O and Li2CO3, which were widely used in industry and (Mn0.533Co0.233Ni0.233) (OH)2prepared by ourselves selected as starting materials, series materials of lithium-rich layered material Li [Li0.2Mn0.44Ni0.18Co0.18]O2were obtained by a molten salt method. Their structures and properties of the materials were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and constant current charge/discharge methods. The effects of different LiOH and Li2CO3molar ratios on the Li [Li0.2Mn0.44Ni0.18Co0.18]O2structures and properties were characterized. The results of the experiments indicate that The structures of the material such as crystal structure, the specific area, particle size distribution, tap densities were controlled by adjusting the proportion of the two lithium sources. Forthermore , when the molar ratio of LiOH and Li2CO3was 3:7, the maximum discharge capacity (214.77 mAhg-1) of the cathode was obtained.

Cu doped NiCuZn ferrite Ni0.4-xCuxZn0.6Fe2O4(x=0.16~0.28) have been prepared by the solid-molten salt method using NaCl as flux. The structure and properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. It is found that addition of Cu2+results in the particles size growing up because of the tend of crystal structure to be a normal Zn ferrite.TheMsvalues of NCZF are decrease gradually with increasing of Cu content. Curie temperature (Tc) increases with Cu2+content in the range of x<0.20, and then decreasing rapidly. This can be ascribed to that the lower magnetization moment Cu2+ion amount of B-site increasing leads to weaker super-exchange effect.

M-type hexaferrites Ba(TiMn)xFe12-2xO19 (x=0 to 2) powders were synthesized by molten salt method. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and vibrating sample magnetometer were used to analyze the structures and electromagnetic properties. The results showed that, the magnetoplumbite structures for all samples were formed. Magnetic hysteresis loop measurements of the Ba(TiMn)xFe12-2xO19, exhibitted that the saturation magnetization (Ms), the remanent magnetization (Mr) and the coercitivity (Hc) of compounds depended strongly on the chemical composition of materials. The maxium values of Ms (52.68emu/g) and Mr (32.89emu/g) of the compounds were found at x=0.5; however, the values of Hc and the areas of magnetic hysteresis loop of compounds decreased with increasing the value of x. The Ba(TiMn)1.5Fe9O19/paraffin wax composites containing 40vol% of doped barium ferrite exhibitted good absorption performances in the frequency range of 2–14 GHz.

Porous YSZ(8 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia) was prepared by an acid leaching of ZnO-YSZ composite. The ZnO-YSZ composites were obtained by two different methods, a 1450 °C sintering of the mechanical mixture of ZnO and YSZ powders or a decomposition of Zn(NO3)2 deposited on YSZ and a subsequent sintering. The XRD (X-ray diffraction) pattern of the composite indicated that it was a mixture of ZnO and YSZ even after the sintering. Sharp edge or round edge of YSZ was observed in SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) image of the porous-YSZ from the mixture of ZnO and YSZ, or Zn(NO3)2 deposited on YSZ, respectively. The porous YSZ from the composite having ZnO component greater than 60 wt% shows low mechanical strength. As the ZnO content of the composite increased, the porosity and gas permeability of the porous YSZ increased. From the result, it was suggested that ZnO is a candidate to generate pores in YSZ bulk or membrane.

Magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl2O4) porous ceramics were in-situ synthesized by heating the mixture of Al2O3 and MgCO3 with MgCl2 salt at 1400~1600 °C for 3 h, and then characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The morphology of as-prepared MgAl2O4 porous ceramics was dependent on the addition of MgCl2, and it indicated that the MgCl2 molten salt not only acted as a template for pore formation of the porous ceramics, but also provided a liquid environment for the synthesis of MgAl2O4.

M-type hexaferrites Ba(ZnZr)xFe12-2xO19 (x=0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) powders, have been synthesized by molten salt method, where x varies from 0 to 1.5 in steps of 0.5. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) were used to analyze the structures and magnetic properties. The results showed that, the magnetoplumbite structures for all samples calcining at 1100°C have been formed. The magnetic hysteresis loop measurements of the hexagonal ferrites powders showed that the saturation magnetization (Ms), the remanent magnetization (Mr), and the coercitivity (Hc) of ferrites depend strongly on the chemical compositions of materials. The data showed that the max Hc was obtained when substitution of x=1.0 (Hc=63.9 Oe), while the best Ms was obtained when substitution of x=0.5 (Ms=54.02 emu/g). Zn and Zr substitutions greatly modified the magnetic properties of BaM hexaferrite.

Cadmium molybdate (CdMoO4) nanoparticles, cube-like crystallites and octahedral microparticles have been successfully synthesized by a molten salt method at 270°C. The structure, morphology and luminescent property of the resultant powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microcopy (TEM), scanning electron microcopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL), respectively. The resultant samples are a pure phase of CdMoO4 and without any impurities. PL spectra results show that the optical properties of CdMoO4 particles are strongly relied on their morphologies.
