    This study presents a novel approach for fabricating Ba<inf>5</inf>Nb<inf>4</inf>O<inf>15</inf> (BNO) ceramics at low sintering temperatures via the cold sintering process (CSP), using Ba(OH)<inf>2</inf>·8H<inf>2</inf>O (BOH) as a transient liquid phase. CSP was performed under an external pressure of 10MPa with a sintering temperature range of 150°C to 300°C. Optimally, BNO-BOH ceramics achieved a relative density of 93.7 ± 0.43 when sintered at 250°C for 1h. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) suggested that particle densification occurred via a dissolution-precipitation process, which filled pores and formed necks between particles. The study demonstrates that the residual liquid content is crucial for ceramic densification. Annealing the as-cold sintered BNO-BOH ceramics at 1000°C for 1h successfully eliminates the BaCO<inf>3</inf> secondary phase. Furthermore, dielectric properties of annealed ceramics were also characterized at room temperature from frequency range of 20Hz to 2MHz. The dielectric permittivity is reported to be 39.2 and 0.01 for tanδ at 1.8MHz. The cold sintering process provides an effective strategy to reduce the sintering temperature while achieving high relative density. This method offers a promising alternative for the fabrication of advanced ceramics.

    Ba<inf>5</inf>Nb<inf>4</inf>O<inf>15</inf> ceramic is a promising dielectric material for microwave frequencies. One of the factors that affects its dielectric properties is density, which can be controlled by fabrication processes such as sintering. Normally, conventional sintering requires high sintering temperature (T?> 1,200ºC) to produce grain coarsening and pore reduction which consumes high energy. However, there has been growing interest in low-temperature ceramic processing due to its potential to revolutionize the way ceramic materials are manufactured. Cold sintering is a new sintering technique that can be used to fabricate dense ceramics below 300°C. It can be applied to a variety of compounds, and the densification process is driven by the dissolution-precipitation mechanism, with the aid of a congruent solvent, pressure, and temperature. Herein, Ba<inf>5</inf>Nb<inf>4</inf>O<inf>15</inf> ceramics are prepared by cold sintering technique using hydrated barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)<inf>2</inf>-8H<inf>2</inf>O) as a flux to reduce sintering temperature and introduce densification process. The effects of processing parameters, including sintering temperature, dwelling time, pressure, and flux concentration, on the density and dielectric properties of sintered samples were investigated. Phase formation and electrical properties were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and an LCR meter. Under the sintering conditions T = 150°C, pressure = 7,000 kPa, and t = 60 min, the obtained Ba<inf>5</inf>Nb<inf>4</inf>O<inf>15</inf> ceramic exhibited a relative density of ˜80% which closes to the ceramics obtained from conventional sintering. These results suggest that sintering temperature has little influence on sample density, while applied pressure is the dominant factor in improving density. The mechanism of flux-assisted cold sintering and dielectric properties are also discussed.
