Differentiated Electric Behaviors of La2/3Cu3Ti4O12 Ceramics Prepared by Different Methods

Microstructure and electric behaviors of La_2/3Cu₃Ti₄O₁₂ (LCTO) ceramics prepared by the sol‐gel method (SG) and solid‐state method (SS) have been systemically investigated. The results indicated that LCTO‐SG ceramics sintered at 1105°C for 15 h showed larger grain size, higher density, and especially higher dielectric constant up to about 0.9–1.6 × 10⁴ at 10²~10⁵ Hz compared to LCTO‐SS ceramics. The higher dielectric constant of the LCTO‐SG ceramics might be due to the stronger internal barrier layer capacitor (IBLC) effect. More notably, compared with LCTO‐SS ceramics, two kinds of dielectric anomalies, one conduction activation energy value and same activation energies for the conduction and relaxation process in LCTO‐SS ceramics, the LCTO‐SG ceramics showed three kinds of dielectric anomalies, two values of conduction activation energy, and decrease in conduction activation energy with increasing temperature. The activation energies for the conduction and relaxation process in LCTO‐SG ceramics showed great difference below about 210°C, suggesting that the mechanism of electrical conduction and dielectric relaxation seem to be different in LCTO‐SG ceramics. These remarkable differences in electric behaviors of LCTO ceramics prepared by sol‐gel and solid‐state methods were firstly found and analyzed.     

Modified Pechini Synthesis of Proton‐Conducting Ba(Ce,Ti)O3 and Comparative Studies of the Effects of Acceptors on its Structure,Stability, Sinterability,and Conductivity

The phase structure, chemical stability, sinterability, and electrical performance of the proton‐conducting Ba(Ce,Ti)O₃ solid solution with a series of acceptors M (M = In, Y, Sm) synthesized by a modified Pechini method were systematically investigated. The substitution of cerium with titanium was proved as an effective way to improve the stability of BaCeO₃. Especially for the BaCe_0.95Ti_0.05O_3?δ sample doped with In, no change in the phase was found even after treatment in the atmosphere containing both CO₂ and H₂O at 700°C for 10 h. Thanks to the highly sinteractive powders with particle size of ~100 nm, dense ceramics were easily acquired. Moreover, compared with the undoped BaCe_0.95Ti_0.05O₃ sample, In, Y, and Sm dopants further improved the sinterability of the solid solution. In particular, In played a role of sintering aid and led to the largest linear shrinkage of the ceramics. As to the electrical performance, the transport properties of the samples under various atmospheres were analyzed and compared. The impedance tests demonstrated the best electrical performance of the Y‐doped samples.     

A New Ferroelectric Phase of YMnO3 Induced by Oxygen‐Vacancy Ordering

Manganese oxides are good candidates of strongly correlated electron materials due to the uniqueness of electronic structure of manganese and the mobility of oxygen among lattice sites under external impacts. Here, we used electron beam as the excitation source to explore the structural evolution of YMnO₃ and identified a new phase under the radiation of electron beam in the transmission electron microscope. Analyses of the electron energy‐loss spectra reveal that this phase originates from ordered oxygen vacancy. We applied the first principles calculation to pick out the optimized stable structure with a lower polarization, and verified its correctness by electron diffraction and image simulations. Analyses of density of states indicate that weak Y–O covalence is favorable for the existence of ferroelectricity, supporting the electrostatic nature of ferroelectricity in the YMnO₃.     

Perfluorosulfonated ionomers membranes: Melt‐processing and characterization for ion exchange applications

Perflurosulfonated ionomers membranes with different ionic‐exchange capacity were successfully fabricated via melt‐extruding and casting of their –SO₂F precursors. A systematical investigation of the thermal stability, crystallinity, and rheological properties of the precursors was performed to secure their optimized processing conditions. The tensile properties of acid‐form membranes are found to increase with base‐hydrolysis time, where a tensile strength of 38.2 MPa is readily obtained after 24 h's base‐hydrolysis. The content of –SO₂F or –SO₃H containing side‐chains plays an important role in the thermal stability, rheological, and mechanical properties of the precursor or the acid‐form membranes. The strong ionic interactions, attributed to the –SO₃H groups, lead to decreased crystallinity and tensile strength for different IEC membranes. The acid‐form membranes exhibit good proton conductivity and low methanol crossover in comparison with reference Nafion membrane. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

A polyurethane-based elastomeric nanocomposite with a high dielectric constant

To increase the electric energy density of dielectric elastomer substantially, high dielectric constant nanocomposites were developed using polyurethane (PU) as matrix and copper phthalocyanine oligomer (CuPc)—a high dielectric constant organic semiconductor—as filler. Transmission electron microscope (TEM)-observed morphologies revealed that the sizes of CuPc particles in nanocomposite of PU chemically attached with 8.78 vol% of CuPc were in the range of 10–20 nm, much smaller than the sizes (250–600 nm) in the physical blend of PU with the same volume fraction of CuPc. At 100 Hz, the nanocomposite film exhibited a dielectric constant of 391, representing more than 60-fold increase with respect to the pure PU. The enhanced dielectric response of the nanocomposite makes it possible to induce a high electromechanical response under a much reduced electric field (a strain of 17.7 % was achieved under a field of 10 V/μm).
