In this study, we report key functional properties of gadolinium-doped ceria (Gd0.1Ce0.9O1.95, GDC) sintered at low temperatures as well as single-cell electrochemical performance of a single-cell prepared there of. GDC solid solutions were sintered at various temperatures ranging 1100–1400∘C and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), density measurements, mechanical strength tests and electrical conductivity measurements. The dry-pressed GDC disc sample sintered at 1100∘C was found to have 96% of the theoretical density and higher sintering temperatures led to higher densities. SEM micrographs of the fracture and plan surfaces of the sintered discs established the absence of any open pores. The sample sintered at 1100∘C exhibited high electrical conductivity of 0.027 S/cm at 650∘C. The mechanical strength of the sintered samples was determined to be in the range of 150–175 MPa. Greater than 96% of theoretical density, good mechanical strength, and high electrical conductivity of GDC disc samples sintered at 1100∘C established the viability of low-temperature processing of GDC for its use as an SOFC electrolyte. Accordingly, a single-cell was prepared by co-sintering of GDC electrolyte and LSCF-GDC cathode at 1100∘C and subsequent firing of CuO-GDC anode at 900∘C. The electrochemical performance of the cell was evaluated in H2 fuel at 650∘C. 相似文献

Microstructural control in thin-layer multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) is one of the present day challenges to maintain
an increase in capacitive volumetric efficiency. This present paper opens a series of investigations aimed to engineer the
stability of ultra-thin Ni electrodes in BaTiO3-based multilayer capacitors using refractory metal additions to Ni. Here, pure Ni and Ni–1 wt.% Cr alloy powders are used
to produce 0805-type BME MLCCs with 300 active layers and with dielectric and electrode layer thickness around 1 μm. To investigate
the continuity of Ni electrodes, both MLCC chips with pure and doped electrodes were sintered at different temperatures for
5 h. It is found that the continuity of Ni electrodes is improved most likely due to the effect of Cr on the low-melting point
(Ni,Ba,Ti) interfacial alloy layer formation. The interfacial alloy layer is not observed when Cr is segregated at Ni-BaTiO3 interface in the Cr-doped samples, while it is found in all undoped samples. The interfacial alloy layer is believed to increase
mass-transfer along the Ni-BaTiO3 interfaces facilitating an acceleration of Ni electrodes discontinuities. 相似文献

AbstractHere we report comparison of dielectric properties of composition synthesized by microwave and conventional sintering. Microwave sintering requires less time and temperature to achieve the same quality of materials as sintered by conventional route. The material sample was prepared by conventional solid state method and sintered in conventional & microwave furnace. Sintered samples were then subjected to XRD analysis. X-ray diffraction revealed the formation of single phase material. The dielectric and ferroelectric properties were recorded for both the samples and properties were found to improve in microwave sintered samples. There is also a significant improvement in density by microwave processing. 相似文献

A NaF-Nb2O5 flux doped (Na,K)NbO3 (NKN) based lead-free ceramic was successfully co-fired with nickel inner electrodes in reduced atmospheres. No chemical reactions and/or inter-diffusion were detected at the interface between the nickel (Ni) electrodes and the NKN-based piezoelectrics. Dielectric, resistivity, and electromechanical performance were measured with processing under different firing conditions and flux additions to obtain high densities. Ceramics are obtained with submicron grain structures with the NaF-Nb2O5 sintering aids (2 and 4 wt%) fluxes, and high densities when firing at low pO2 (10?10 atms) atmospheres at sintering temperatures ~1150 °C for 2 hours. High resistivities and low losses can be obtained through a second annealing condition at 850 °C and 10?7 atms at 8 hours. High d 33 values (over 350 pm/V) determined under unipolar converse electromechanical measurements were obtained in the simple prototyped co-fired structures to show feasibility towards base metal electrodes in multilayer actuators. 相似文献

Sol-gel synthesis was attempted at room temperature by adding drop wise a clear solution (made by reacting BaCO3 with glacial acetic acid) to an equi-molar solution of titanium tetrabutoxide in isopropanol (IPA) and acetic acid. The gelation occurred within 30 minutes. The as-dried gel was calcined at 750∘C/6 h in air to obtain carbon free BaTiO3 powders. The resulting BT powders were further pressed into pellets and sintered at 1280∘C/4 h in air to get dense ceramics (density ∼ 94%). XRD and SEM techniques were used for phase and microstructure analysis respectively. The room temperature relative permittivity (ε) of 1280 increased to 7200 (at Curie temperature of 127∘C) at 1 kHz frequency. The dissipation factor (tanδ) ∼1.6% was observed in these samples. Also, the ferroelectric properties such as spontaneous polarization (Ps ∼ 13 μC/cm2), coercive field (Ec∼4.0 kV/cm) and dielectric strength (∼34 kV/cm) are estimated for these samples. These performance parameters are compared with the available standard data from the literature. 相似文献

The conductivity of cobalt oxide doped Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 (CGO10) of various doping concentrations, sintering temperatures, dwell times, and cooling rates was investigated by 4-point DC conductivity measurements. In cobalt oxide doped CGO10, an enhanced total conductivity occuring with a low activation energy of 0.54 eV was detected below 250∘C in quenched samples. If the same samples were cooled down slowly, only the ionic conductivity of undoped CGO with an activation energy of 0.8 eV was found. The increased conductivity is attributed to a percolating network of an electronically conducting grain boundary phase rich in CoO, which can be retained by quenching from temperatures between 900 and 1000∘C. 相似文献

In multiplayer passive devices, low sintering temperature dielectric materials were needed to co-fire with low melting point inner electrode such as copper or silver, a major problem of base metal electrode (BME) was that the devices must be fired under low oxygen partial pressure atmosphere to protect Cu from oxidation. In this paper, dielectric properties of Bi(VxNb1?x)O4 (x?=?0.001, 0.004, 0.008, 0.016, 0.048) microwave ceramics sintered under air and N2 atmosphere have been investigated. The densification temperature sintered in different atmosphere decreased from 1010 to 830°C with the amount of V2O5 increasing from 0.001 to 0.048. Due to the increasing vacancy defects, the density of ceramics sintered in N2 was smaller than that sintered in air. The ceramics sintered under N2 have similar dielectric constant, and its Qf values are higher while x?<?0.016. 相似文献

MgTiO3-based microwave dielectric ceramics were prepared successfully by reaction sintering method. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the sintered samples revealed a major phase of MgTiO3-based and CaTiO3 phases, accompanied with Mg2TiO4 or MgTi2O5 determined by the sintering temperature and time. The microwave dielectric properties had a strong dependence of sintering condition due to the different phase compositions and the microstructure characteristics. The ceramics sintered at 1360 °C for 4 h exhibited good microwave dielectric properties: a dielectric constant of 20.3, a high quality factor of 48,723 GHz (at 9GHz), and a temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of ?1.8 ppm/oC. The obtained results demonstrated that the reaction-sintering process is a simple and effective method to prepare the MgTiO3-based ceramics for microwave applications. 相似文献

The nanocrystalline Ni0.53Cu0.12Zn0.35Fe2O4 was prepared using microwave hydrothermal (M-H) method at a low temperature of 160 °C/30 min. As synthesized powders were characterized using XRD and TEM. The powders were sintered using microwave sintering methods at different sintering temperatures i.e. 750 °C/30 min, 800 °C/30 min, 850 °C/30 min 900 °C/30 min and 950 °C/30 min respectively. The sintered samples were characterized using XRD and SEM. The complex permittivity (ε*) and permeability (μ*) have been measured in the frequency range of 100 kHz to 1.8 GHz. The micro inductors were fabricated with the help of microwave sintered sample by using screen-printing method and co-firing. The electrical properties such as inductance and Quality factor of the prepared inductors were measured over a wide frequency range. 相似文献

The effect of zinc ion substitution for nickel on structural and magnetic properties of NiZn ferrites is reported. The spinel
ferrite system Ni1-xZnxFe2O4 with x = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 was prepared by microwave sintering method. The uniaxially pressed samples were sintered at
various temperatures such as 900°C, 1000°C and 1100°C for 30 min. X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples indicate the formation
of single-phase cubic spinel structure. SEM micrographs show that grain size increases with increasing zinc content and sintering
temperature. The elemental composition of these ferrites was analyzed by EDS. Lattice constant increases with increase in
zinc content, obeying Vegard’s law. The effect of composition and sintering temperature on initial permeability as the function
of frequency and temperature was studied. The initial permeability of NiZn ferrite increases greatly with increasing Zn content
and sintering temperature. The dependence of initial permeability with respect to temperature shows the decrease in the Curie
point with increase in zinc content, is the normal behavior of ferrites. The relative loss factor (tand
