TiO₂–NiO and TiO₂–WO₃ nanocomposites were prepared by hydrothermal and surface modification methods. The samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscope images, Transmission Electron Microscope, Energy dispersive analysis, Zeta potential, Electrophoretic mobility and Photocatalysis activity measurement. XRD data sets of TiO₂–NiO, TiO₂–WO₃ powder nanocomposite have been studied for the inclusion of NiO, WO₃ on the anatase-rutile mixture phase of TiO₂ by Rietveld refinement. The cell parameters, phase fraction, the average grain size, strain and bond lengths between atoms of individual phases have been reported in the present work. Shifted positional co-ordinates of individual atoms in each phase have also been observed.     

Comparative study of multilayered ZnO/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/ZnO and TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/ZnO/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> thin films prepared by sol–gel dip coating method

The aim of this research work is to represent the comparative study of ZnO/TiO₂/ZnO (ZTZ) and TiO₂/ZnO/TiO₂ (TZT) thin films deposited by sol–gel dip coating on FTO substrates. After deposition, the films were annealed at 500 °C for 1 h. Structural, surface morphology, optical and electrical properties of these films were studied by X-ray diffractrometer (XRD), Raman spectra, atomic force microscope (AFM), photoluminescence spectra (PL) and four point probe technique respectively. XRD and Raman spectra confirmed the anatase, brookite phases of TiO₂ and cubic phase of ZnO. AFM confirmed the formation of nano particles with average sizes of 18.4 and 47.2 nm of TZT and ZTZ films respectively. According to PL spectra, both the multilayer films slowdown the electron hole recombination rate and enhances the optoelectronic properties of the materials. Also it showed the peaks in the visible region of spectrum. The four point probe results showed that the average sheet resistivity of the films is 450 and 120 (ohm-m) respectively.     

Crystallization and microstructural evolution of MgO–Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>–SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>–TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>–La<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> glass-ceramics

Crystallization and microstructure of glasses with the molar compositions 1MgO·1.2Al₂O₃·2.8SiO₂·1.2TiO₂·xLa₂O₃ (x = 0.1 and 0.4) were thermally treated at different temperatures in the range from 950 to 1250 °C and then analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, in combination with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron backscatter diffraction. It was found that the microstructure is first homogeneous with the precipitation of randomly distributed crystals and then indialite domains with embedded perrierite and rutile crystals are formed. For higher temperatures or prolonged times, more domains appear and expand into the bulk of the sample. Finally, the entire sample consists of the indialite domains and the boundaries that are enriched in rutile, perrierite, and magnesium aluminotitanate. Nevertheless, very distinct differences are observed between the samples with different La₂O₃ concentrations. For the sample with x = 0.4, the domains were detected at lower temperatures, while the quantity and size of the domains increase faster due to the promoted precipitation of indialite. For the sample with x = 0.1, in addition to the domain boundaries, secondary boundaries between the “regions” (assemblages of the domains) are observed in a larger length scale. The average size of the crystalline phases found between the “regions” is larger than that typically observed at the domain boundaries. The sizes of the crystals at the boundaries decrease with higher concentrations of La₂O₃, and the crystals (especially perrierite) within the domains become larger, resulting in a more homogeneous microstructure. This results in better dielectric properties, i.e., much higher quality factor for the sample with x = 0.4 in comparison to that with x = 0.1 after heat-treatment at 1150 or 1250 °C.     

Enhanced microwave dielectric properties of Ba<Subscript>0.40</Subscript>Sr<Subscript>0.60</Subscript>TiO<Subscript>3</Subscript>–Zr<Subscript>0.80</Subscript>Sn<Subscript>0.20</Subscript>TiO<Subscript>4</Subscript> composite ceramics

The (1−x) Ba_0.40Sr_0.60TiO₃ (BST)−xZr_0.80Sn_0.20TiO₄ (ZST) composite ceramics with x = 10, 20, 30, and 40 wt% were fabricated by conventional solid-state reaction method. With increasing of ZST content, the dielectric constant of composite ceramics was decreased and dielectric loss increases. The effect of ZnO addition to 70 wt% BST–30 wt% ZST composition on the microstructure and dielectric properties was investigated. The improvements in dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and microwave dielectric properties of composite ceramics can be achieved by ZnO addition. The sample with 98 wt% (70 wt% BST–30 wt% ZST)–2 wt%ZnO composition exhibits promising dielectric properties, with dielectric constant, loss tangent and tunability at 4 kV/mm, of 125, 0.0016 and 12%, at 10 kHz and room temperature. At ~2 GHz, it possesses a dielectric constant of 101 and a Q factor of 187, which makes it a good candidate for tunable microwave device applications.     

A sol–gel-derived α-Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> crystal interlayer modified 316L porous stainless steel to support TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>, SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>, and TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>–SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> hybrid membranes

A homogeneous α-Al₂O₃ crystal membrane was fabricated by the sol–gel technique on 316L porous stainless steel (PSS) substrate with an average pore size of 1.0 μm. The preparation process was optimized by carefully choosing the binder, the concentrations of the casting solutions and the sintering temperatures of the membranes. Compared to methylcellulose and polyethylene glycol 20000, polyvinyl alcohol 1750 was found to be the most effective binder to fabricate a homogeneously structured Al₂O₃ membrane without defects. The concentration to prepare an uniform coverage membrane with a thickness of ~10 μm was 0.032 mol/L. When sintered at 1000 °C, γ-Al₂O₃ membrane with ~3 μm grains was obtained. When sintered at 1200 °C, γ-Al₂O₃ completely transformed into α-Al₂O₃ and the grains grew to ~5 μm. Accordingly, the process was applied to a bigger pore-sized PSS with an average pore size of 1.5 μm to fabricate an α-Al₂O₃ intermediate layer to initially modify its surface. A single α-Al₂O₃ crystal layer with a thickness of ~5 μm and an average pore size of 0.7 μm was achieved. Subsequently, TiO₂, SiO₂, and TiO₂–SiO₂ hybrid membranes were tried on the modified PSS. Defect-free microfiltration membranes with average pore sizes of ~0.3 μm were readily fabricated. The results indicate that the sol–gel method is promising to initially modify the PSS substrates and the sol–gel-derived α-Al₂O₃ crystal layer is an appropriate intermediate layer to modify the PSS and to support smaller grain-sized top membranes.     

Catalytic activity of CuO-loaded TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/γ-Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> for NO Reduction by CO

The activities in NO + CO reaction of CuO-loaded TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts prepared by precipitation (P), co-precipitation (C-P), or sol-gel (S-G) were examined using a micro-reactor-gas chromatography (GC) system. The study showed higher catalytic activity of 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (P) than that of 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (S-G) or 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (C-P) in air condition, compared with higher activity of 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (P) or 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (S-G) than that of 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (C-P) in H₂ condition. The specific surface area and crystallite formation had little effect on catalytic activities. H₂-temperature programmed reduction (TPR) revealed four reduction peaks of 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (P), three reduction peaks of 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (S-G), but only one reduction peak of 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (C-P). CuO diffraction peaks were detected only in 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (P), indicating that CuO was highly dispersed on the other two TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts. As a result, 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (P) had the highest activity of reducing NO. During NO + CO reaction, the absorption peaks of intermediate product N₂O were shown at 150 °C by 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (P), at 200 °C by 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (S-G), and at 100 °C by 12%CuO/15%TiO₂/γ-Al₂O₃ (C-P) after H₂ pretreatment at 400 °C for 1 h.     

Dual relaxation behaviors and large electrostrictive properties of Bi<Subscript>0.5</Subscript>Na<Subscript>0.5</Subscript>TiO<Subscript>3</Subscript>–Sr<Subscript>0.85</Subscript>Bi<Subscript>0.1</Subscript>TiO<Subscript>3</Subscript> ceramics

Lead-free ceramics (1???x)Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃–xSr_0.85Bi_0.1TiO₃ (BNT–xSBT, x?=?0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7) were prepared by a solid-state reaction process. Coexistence of ferroelectric relaxation at low temperature and Maxwell–Wagner dielectric relaxation at high temperature was revealed for the first time in this system. Meanwhile, hysteresis-free P–E loops combined with a very high piezoelectric strain coefficient (d₃₃) of 1658 pC/N concurrently with large electrostrictive coefficient Q?=?0.287 m⁴C^?2 were achieved. The ferroelectric relaxor behavior and large electrostrictive strain might be linked to easy reorientation and reversal of ergodic PNRs and the combined effect of Bi off-center position and lone pair electrons.     

Influence of Bi substitution on microwave dielectric properties of BaO–La<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>–Sm<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>–TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> ceramics

The influences of Bi substitution on microwave dielectric properties of Ba₄(La_0.5Sm_0.5)_9.33Ti₁₈O₅₄ solid solutions were investigated. Dielectric ceramics with general formula Ba₄(La_(0.5−z)Sm_0.5Bi _z )_9.33Ti₁₈O₅₄, z = 0.0–0.2 were prepared by conventional solid state route. The structural analysis of all the samples was carried out by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The dielectric properties were investigated as a function of Bi contents using open-ended coaxial probe method in the frequency range 0.3–3.0 GHz at room temperature. Dielectric constant varies from 83 to 88 and loss tangent from 2.1 × 10⁻³ to 5.5 × 10⁻³ at 3 GHz with temperature coefficient of resonant frequency changing from 106.7 to −8.4 ppm/oC as Bi contents increases from z = 0.00–0.20. It has been found that dielectric constant and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency improve whereas loss tangent is adversely affected with increase in Bi substitution.     

High-damping and high-rigidity composites of Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>TiO<Subscript>5</Subscript>–MgTi<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>5</Subscript> ceramics and acrylic resin

High-damping materials are widely used in engineering fields. In order to increase the precision of vibration control to different levels, high-damping materials with high-rigidity are required. This study attempts to develop a new high-damping high-rigidity material using ductile ceramics based on the Al₂TiO₅–MgTi₂O₅ system, which has many continuous microcracks along the grain boundaries. Ductile ceramics have high internal friction (Q ⁻¹ = 0.01–0.037), but very low rigidity (<10 GPa). The rigidity of Al₂TiO₅–MgTi₂O₅ ceramics was improved by combining them with a polymer such as acrylic resin. The Young’s modulus and internal friction of the composites of Al₂TiO₅–MgTi₂O₅ ceramics and acrylic resin are investigated. They show high-damping capacity (Q ⁻¹ = 0.03–0.04) with high rigidity (E = 50–60 GPa), and their properties depend on those of the polymer. Thus, the composites fabricated using the above method can serve as high-damping high-rigidity materials.     

Free-standing TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>–SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/PANI composite nanofibers for ammonia sensors

Free-standing TiO₂–SiO₂/polyaniline (TS/PANI) composite nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning, in situ polymerization and calcination method. The effect of tetra-n-butyl titanate (TBT) in the electrospinning solution on the morphology and the ammonia sensing properties of TS/PANI composite nanofibers were investigated. The obtained nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, thermo-gravimetric analysis and gas sensor test system. It is proved that too much TBT in the solution would make the fibrous morphology and ammonia sensing properties worse. Gas sensing tests showed that the TS/PANI composite nanofibers ammonia sensor can work at room temperature and possess ideal response values, selectivity and repeatability. With the increase in TiO₂ content in the TS nanofibers, the ammonia sensing properties were improved because of the increase in P–N heterojunctions formed between TiO₂ and PANI in the sensors.     

Ca<Subscript>4</Subscript>La<Subscript>2</Subscript>Ti<Subscript>5</Subscript>O<Subscript>17</Subscript>: a novel low loss dielectric ceramics in the CaO–La<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>–TiO<Subscript>2 </Subscript>system

A novel low loss dielectric material Ca₄La₂Ti₅O₁₇ was prepared by solid state ceramic route. The structure and microstructure of the Ca₄La₂Ti₅O₁₇ ceramics was investigated using XRD, SEM and EDX techniques. XRD result showed cubic perovskite like structure for Ca₄La₂Ti₅O₁₇ ceramics. The ceramics were sintered in the temperature range of 1,450–1575 °C. The microwave dielectric properties of the material were investigated using a network analyzer in the frequency range of 3–6 GHz. The variation in microwave dielectric properties of the Ca₄La₂Ti₅O₁₇ ceramics with sintering temperature was correlated with bulk density of the material. Ca₄La₂Ti₅O₁₇ has ε_r of 73, Q_uxf of 16,000 at 3.3 GHz, and τ_f of 127 ppm/°C at the optimized sintering temperature of 1,550 °C/4h.     

Structural and electrical properties of Bi<Subscript>1/2</Subscript>Na<Subscript>1/2</Subscript>TiO<Subscript>3</Subscript>–BaTiO<Subscript>3</Subscript>–Sr<Subscript>3</Subscript>CuNb<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>9</Subscript> lead-free piezoelectric ceramics

The structure, microstructure, field-induced strain, ferroelectric, piezoelectric and dielectric properties of (1 ? x) (Bi_0.5Na_0.5)_0.935Ba_0.065TiO₃–xSr₃CuNb₂O₉ (BNT-BT6.5–xSCN, with x = 0, 0.003, 0.006, 0.009) ceramics were investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns show that all samples are pure perovskite structure and Sr₃CuNb₂O₉ (SCN) effectively diffused into the 0.935Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃–0.065BaTiO₃ (BNT–BT6.5) solid solution which also reflected in the Raman spectra and the energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. With the increases of SCN content, the coercive field (E _c  = 18.41 kV/cm) decreases greatly, whereas the remnant polarization (P _r  = 29.11 μC/cm²) increases a little at x = 0.003 which is showed in the polarization hysteresis (P–E) loops, the result indicate that the ferroelectric order would be disrupted. Around critical composition (x = 0.003) at a driving field of 60 kV/cm, a large unipolar strain of 0.29 % with a normalized strain (d ₃₃ ^*  = 483 pm/V) is obtained at room temperature. The results indicate that BNT-BT6.5-xSCN ceramics with excellent properties are promising to replace lead-based piezoelectric ceramics and can be used in practical applications.     

Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of Bi<Subscript>0.5</Subscript>Na<Subscript>0.5</Subscript>TiO<Subscript>3</Subscript>–BaNb<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>6</Subscript> lead-free piezoelectric ceramics

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics (1 − x)Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃–xBaNb₂O₆ (BNT–BN100x), a new member of the BNT-based group, was prepared by conventional solid state reaction. X-ray diffraction showed that BaNb₂O₆ (BN) diffused into the lattice of Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃ to form a solid solution with perovskite-type structure. The temperature dependence of dielectric constant ε_r revealed that the solid solution underwent two phase transitions from ferroelectric to anti-ferroelectric and anti-ferroelectric to paraelectric. Both the transition temperature T _d and T _m were shifted to lower with the increasing content of BaNb₂O₆. The temperature dependence of dielectric constant at different frequency revealed that the solid solution exhibited obviously dielectric relaxation characteristics. The sample with x = 0.6 mol% exhibited excellent electrical properties, piezoelectric constant d ₃₃ = 94 pC/N; electromechanical coupling factor k _p = 0.185. The results showed that BNT–BN100x ceramics were good candidates for use as lead-free piezoelectric ceramics.     

BaFe<Subscript>12</Subscript>O<Subscript>19</Subscript> films produced from BaFe<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>/α-Fe<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> heterostructures

BaFe₁₂O₁₉ hexaferrite films have been produced on thermally oxidized single-crystal silicon (SiO₂/Si) substrates by sequential ion-beam sputtering of BaFe₂O₄ and α-Fe₂O₃ targets in an argon-oxygen atmosphere. Their crystal structure has been studied, and the origin of the impurity phases forming during heat treatment has been identified. The results show that heat treatment may lead to the formation of eutectic melts. As a result, the hexaferrite films may contain spherulites.     

Preparation and properties of Bi<Subscript>6</Subscript>Ti<Subscript>5</Subscript>WO<Subscript>22</Subscript>: a new phase in the Bi<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>–TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>–WO<Subscript>3</Subscript> system

In a recent report, the evaluation of the phase relations in the Bi₂O₃–TiO₂–WO₃ ternary system has shown the existence of a new phase with nominal composition close to Bi₆Ti₅WO₂₂. In the present contribution we attempt to prepare this single phase by using a solid state route. Although XRD analyses also show traces of two minority Aurivillius-type phases in the synthesized materials, the crystal structure of the Bi₆Ti₅WO₂₂ phase has been determined by Rietveld analyses revealing a complex structure similar to that of Bi₃(AlSb₂)O₁₁ and PbHoAl₃O₈ related compounds. The electrical response of this new phase was characterized as well. Three peaks are observed in its dielectric response: two of them positioned around 0 °C and can be assigned to this Bi₆Ti₅WO₂₂ structure. The third one rises up to 665 °C and confirms the presence of the Aurivillius-type phases.     

Frequency dependence of dielectric properties of CaO–SrO–Li<Subscript>2</Subscript>O–Ln<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>–TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> ceramics

CaO–SrO–Li₂O–Ln₂O₃–TiO₂ ceramics were prepared by solid state reaction method, where Ln₂O₃ consists of equal proportions of Nd₂O₃ and Sm₂O₃. Dielectric properties and crystal structure were investigated with respect to the content of TiO₂. Single phase with an orthorhombic perovskites structure was formed within the composition range of investigation. The frequency dependence of dielectric properties of the present ceramics was extensively investigated. Dielectric constant was less sensitive to frequency. However, dielectric loss and temperature coefficients were both very sensitive to frequency and gradually decreased with increasing frequency, such as the variation was more than ten times between 1 MHz and several GHz. The relationship between the temperature coefficient and dielectric loss was also discussed at different frequencies. And the mechanism of the frequency dependence was discussed in term of the role of Li ions.     

Microwave dielectric properties of Sr<Subscript>0.7</Subscript>Ce<Subscript>0.2</Subscript>TiO<Subscript>3</Subscript>–Sr(Mg<Subscript>1/3</Subscript>Nb<Subscript>2/3</Subscript>)O<Subscript>3</Subscript> ceramics

xSr_0.7Ce_0.2TiO₃–(1???x)Sr(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ ceramics, referred to xSCT–(1???x)SMN, were successfully produced by conventional solid-state sintered technology. The compounds, belonging to perovskites with a secondary phase of CeO₂, can be detected even with x down to 0.1 of SCT composition. The overall trend for grain growth illustrates the increase with increasing SCT doping level. The Raman peak at 825 cm^?1 splits into two peaks and causes red shift phenomenon. XPS spectra indicate that Ti and Nb ions exist respectively in tetravalence and pentavalence, and Ce ions exist in trivalence and tetravalence. Dielectrics constant (ε _r ) of SCT–SMN ceramics gradually increases with increasing theoretical dielectric polarizabilities. A wider width of the 825 cm^?1 for FWHM of A_1g mode Raman peaks suggests to a lower Q?×?f value. The increasing tolerance factor in agreement with temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ _f ), denotes that the rise of perovskite symmetry. The 0.1SCT–0.9SMN ceramic sintered at 1450?°C for 4 h illustrates excellent microwave dielectric properties with ε _r ?~?35.4, Q?×?f?~?11282 GHz and τ _f ?~?1.7 ppm/°C. Activation energies of 0.1SCT–0.9SMN ceramic at 100, 300 and 500 V, are ~0.436, 0.427 and 0.331 eV, respectively, indicative of a decreased trend with external electric field.     

Few-layers MoS<Subscript>2</Subscript> sensitized Ag–TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanocomposite thin film for enhancing photocatalytic activity

The novel few-layers MoS₂ sensitized Ag–TiO₂ were prepared through hydrothermal method, photoreduction method and spin-coating method, respectively. The microstructure, surface morphology, chemical composition and ultraviolet–visible absorbance of the samples were investigated systematically. The results indicated that the Ag nanoparticles and few-layers MoS₂ were deposited successfully on the surface of TiO₂ NRAs. The visible photocatalytic activity was estimated by degradation of methylene blue solution. The results indicated that the photocatalytic properties of MoS₂/Ag–TiO₂ was larger than pure TiO₂ NRAs and Ag–TiO₂. The significantly increased photocatalytic properties was attributed to the stronger visible light capture capability and the enhanced electron–hole pairs separation.     

Variable—Range hopping in Fe<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>-Bi<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>-K<Subscript>2</Subscript>B<Subscript>4</Subscript>O<Subscript>7</Subscript> glasses

The dc conductivity of the glasses in the Fe₂O₃-Bi₂O₃-K₂B₄O₇ system was studied at temperatures between 223 and 393 K. At temperatures from 300 to 223 K, T^–1/4 (T is temperature) dependence of the conductivity was found, however, both Mott variable-range hopping and Greaves intermediate range hopping models are found to be applicable. Mott and Greaves parameters analysis gave the density of states at Fermi level N (E_F) = 3.13 × 10²⁰–21.01 × 10²⁰ and 1.93 × 10²¹–16.39 × 10²¹ cm^–3eV^–1 at 240 K, respectively. The variable-range hopping conduction occurred in the temperature range T = 300–223 K, since W_D was found to be large (W_D = 0.08–0.14 eV for these glasses) and dominated the conduction at T < 300 K.     

Low loss and temperature stable microwave dielectric ceramics in (1 − x)Li<Subscript>2</Subscript>TiO<Subscript>3</Subscript>–xLi<Subscript>2</Subscript>Mg<Subscript>3</Subscript>TiO<Subscript>6</Subscript> (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) system

The (1???x)Li₂TiO₃–xLi₂Mg₃TiO₆ (x?=?0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) ceramics system was fabricated by solid-state synthesis. Test results of X-ray diffraction and electron diffraction spectrum show that all ceramic samples only contain Li₂TO₃ and Li₂Mg₃TiO₆ phase. Scanning electron microscope shows that pores were found in crystal grain due to Li volatilization in high temperature (>?1000 °C). With the rise proportion of Li₂Mg₃TiO₆ in ceramics, dielectric constant (?_r) decreases from 19.55 to 14.53, quality factor (Q×f) increases from 102,800 to 126,000 GHz and temperature coefficient (τ_f) decreases from +?15.9 to ??30.08 ppm/°C. High performance microwave dielectric properties of ?_r?=?18.5, Q×f?=?108,000 GHz, τ_f?=?4.2 ppm/°C were obtained at 1390 °C for 0.85Li₂TiO₃–0.15Li₂Mg₃TiO₆ ceramics. To suppress Li volatilization, LiF, a low temperature melting addition, was added to 0.85Li₂TiO₃–0.15Li₂Mg₃TiO₆ ceramics. LiF effective lowers sintering temperature from 1390 to 1175 °C due to LiF liquid-phase sintering and restricts Li evaporation, and a well-developed grain morphology and excellent dielectric properties (?_r?=?18.5, Q×f?=?87,000 GHz, τ_f?=???18 ppm/°C) was obtained which hold promise in 4G tele-communication applications.
