    The Ca<inf>3</inf>Co<inf>4</inf>O<inf>9</inf> powders were synthesized by the solid-state combustion method and then calcined at 775-875 °C for 6 h. The combination of combustion-derived fine powders and hot pressing was adopted to improve the densification and thermoelectric (TE) performance of Ca<inf>3</inf>Co<inf>4</inf>O<inf>9</inf> ceramics. Dense Ca<inf>3</inf>Co<inf>4</inf>O<inf>9</inf> ceramics were subsequently fabricated by hot-pressing to investigate the influence of hot-pressing temperature (800-950 °C, 2 h) on phase formation, microstructure, electrical, and TE properties. The Ca<inf>3</inf>Co<inf>4</inf>O<inf>9</inf> powder was obtained after calcination at 800 °C for 6 h and exhibited an average particle size of 0.55 μm. XRD analysis confirmed that Ca<inf>3</inf>Co<inf>4</inf>O<inf>9</inf> was the predominant phase in all hot-pressed samples. XPS analysis further confirmed the presence of oxygen vacancy (V<inf>O</inf><sup>++</sup>)-related defects and mixed-valence cobalt species. FESEM observations revealed a dense microstructure composed of plate-like grains with an average grain size ranging from 0.61 to 0.96 μm. The bulk density ranged from 4.31 to 4.46 g/cm<sup>3</sup>, indicating dense ceramics. The electrical resistivity (ρ) decreased with increasing measured temperature for all samples. Among all samples, the ceramic hot-pressed at 900 °C exhibited the lowest ρ at 600 °C. The Seebeck coefficient (S) significantly increased from 150 μV/K to 223 μV/K, while the thermal conductivity (κ) decreased with increasing temperature. Due to the favorable combination of low ρ and high S, the sample hot-pressed at 900 °C achieved the highest power factor (PF) and a maximum dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) of 0.17 at 600 °C.

    Lead-free ceramic materials of 0.9(0.92Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.08BaTiO3)-0.1NaTaO3 or BNT-BT-0.1NT were obtained using glycine as fuel by a solid-state combustion process. The significance of heat treatment conditions, including calcination at 600-800°C for 2 h and sintering at 1075-1175°C for 2 h, on the structure of the phase, microstructure, electrical and energy-storage properties of BNT-BT-0.1NT ceramics were performed. The perovskite phase was presented for all powder samples. BNT-BT-0.1NT powders calcined at the temperature of 750°C for 2 h showed a 100% pure perovskite phase. The particles morphology exhibited spherical shapes with a wide distribution. As the calcination temperature increased, the average particle size grew from 340 nm to 370 nm. Rietveld refinement confirmed that the BNT-BT-0.1NT ceramics possessed a uniform ABO3 structure with cohabiting of rhombohedral (R), tetragonal (T), and cubic (C) phases. With a rise in sintering temperature, the average grain size expanded from 0.85 μm to 2.66 μm, while the remnant polarization (P<inf>r</inf>) and coercive field (E<inf>c</inf>) decreased. The samples sintered at 1150oC for 2 h, the ceramic highlighted the highest dielectric constant (ε<inf>max</inf> ~ 1827), high density of 5.83 g/cm<sup>3</sup>. Under an applied electric field of 70 kV/cm, the maximum energy storage density reached 0.71 J/cm<sup>3</sup>.
