    Dielectric materials, such as barium titanate (BT)-based materials, have excellent dielectric properties but require high temperatures (above 1300 °C) for ceramic fabrication, leading to high costs and energy loss. The cold sintering process (CSP) offers a solution to these issues and is gaining worldwide attention as an innovative fabrication route. In this work, we proposed an alternative organic ferroelectric phase, gamma-glycine (γ-GC), which acts as a transient liquid phase to fabricate high-density composites with barium titanate (BT) at low temperatures through CSP. Our findings show that the density of 15γ-GC/85BT reached 96.7%±1.6% when it was sintered at 120 °C for 6 h under 10 MPa uniaxial pressure. Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) mappings of the composite suggested that γ-GC completely underwent the precipitation–dissolution process and, therefore, filled between BT particles. Moreover, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the preservation of γ-GC without undesired phase transformation. In addition, the ferroelectric and dielectric properties of γ-GC/BT composites have been reported. The high dielectric constant (ε<inf>r</inf>) was 3600, and the low dielectric loss (tanδ) was 1.20 at 200 °C and 100 kHz for the 15γ-GC/85BT composite. The hysteresis loop showed a remanent polarization (P<inf>r</inf>) of 0.55 µC·cm<sup>-2</sup> and a coercive field (E<inf>c</inf>) of 7.25 kV·cm<sup>-1</sup>. Our findings reaffirmed that an organic ferroelectric material (γ-GC) can act as a transient liquid phase in a CSP that can successfully and sustainably fabricate γ-GC/BT composites at low temperatures while delivering outstandingly high performance.

    In this study, the effect of sintering temperature (1000–1100 °C for 2 h) on phase formation, phase transition, microstructure and electrical properties of lead-free piezoelectric (K<inf>0.44</inf>Na<inf>0.52</inf>Li<inf>0.04</inf>)(Nb<inf>0.84</inf>Ta<inf>0.10</inf>Sb<inf>0.06</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> (KNLNTS) solid solution with 0.3 wt%Bi<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> + 0.4 wt%Fe<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> + 0.2 wt%CuO additive (abbreviate as modified KNLNTS) was investigated. Modified KNLNTS ceramics were synthesized by the solid-state combustion technique using glycine as fuel. The modified KNLNTS powders were prepared using the calcination condition of 650 °C for 2 h. The XRD pattern of all sintered ceramics exhibited a pure perovskite phase. Using Rietveld refinement to analyze the phase formation showed that the modified KNLNTS ceramics had co-existing phases of orthorhombic and tetragonal in all sintered ceramics and the orthorhombic phase increased when the sintering temperature increased. The average grain size, T<inf>O-T</inf>, T<inf>c</inf>, P<inf>r</inf> and Ec increased with increasing sintering temperature. At the sintering temperature of 1025 °C, the modified KNLNTS ceramic showed the best electrical properties (C<inf>ε</inf> ≈ 6745, S<inf>max</inf> ≈0.274% and d*<inf>33</inf> ≈ 548 pm/V). The good electrical properties of the modified KNLNTS ceramics makes them good candidates for lead-free applications to replace Pb-based ceramics.

    Lead-free (K<inf>0.5</inf>Na<inf>0.5</inf>)(Nb<inf>0.7</inf>Ta<inf>0.3</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> (KNNT) ceramics with Li<sup>+</sup> substitution (KN<inf>0.5-x</inf>Li<inf>x</inf>NT) and direct (KNNT-xLi) doping at x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04 mol% were synthesized by the solid-state combustion route. The phase, microstructure, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the ceramics were examined. The XRD pattern of the ceramics revealed orthorhombic and tetragonal phases in all specimens. The Rietveld refinement procedure showed that increasing either the Li<sup>+</sup> substitution or doping levels enhanced the amount of the tetragonal phase. It was found that Li<sup>+</sup> doping, either substitutional or additional, enhanced the Curie temperature (T <inf>C</inf>) by increasing the tetragonal distortion, while the dielectric constant (ε <inf>C</inf>) decreased. The good remanent P-E loops of the KN<inf>0.5-x</inf>Li<inf>x</inf>NT ceramics were found with x = 0.01 (P <inf>r</inf>∼10.89 µC/cm<sup>2</sup> and E <inf>C</inf>∼13.09 kV/cm), while for KNNT-xLi ceramics, it was obtained with x = 0.02 (P <inf>r</inf>∼15.65 µC/cm<sup>2</sup> and E <inf>C</inf>∼11.46 kV/cm), which were confirmed by remanent P-E hysteresis measurements.

The effect of the x content on the phase formation, microstructure, electric and magnetic properties of the produced ceramics were investigated. All samples exhibited a pure perovskite phase with the co-existence of rhombohedral and tetragonal phases. The doping of BFCO enhanced the density and dielectric properties of the BNKLT ceramics. The BNKLT-0.013BFCO ceramics showed the highest density (5.87 g/cm<sup>3</sup>), excellent dielectric properties (ε <inf>R</inf> ∼1390, tan δ <inf>R</inf> ∼0.039, ε <inf>m</inf> ∼4986 and tan δ <inf>m</inf> ∼0.075) and the highest piezoelectric constant (d<inf>33</inf>∼194 pC/N). The sample with x = 0 showed diamagnetic behavior, while the samples with 0.004-0.019 content exhibited paramagnetic behavior with higher magnetization at higher x content.

The effect of x content on phase, microstructure electrical and energy density properties was investigated. The samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the XRD patterns were fitted using the Rietveld refinement. The grain growth is obviously inhibited and smaller grains are formed in the ceramic samples at a high concentration of x. Dielectric study confirmed relax or nature with a drastic decrease of T <inf>max</inf> with the increase of x content in BNT-ST-KNN system. The maximum density (ρ = 5.42 (Formula presented.) 0.13 g/cm<sup>3</sup>), highest dielectric constant (ε<inf>r</inf> =3300) with tanδ∼0.05, high recoverable energy storage density (W <inf>rec</inf>=0.16 J/cm<sup>3</sup>) with energy storage efficiency of (η = 64) were obtained in x = 0.03 wt.% ceramic samples, which suggested its usefulness for energy-storage capacitor applications.

    The effect of the firing conditions on the phase formation, microstructure, and electrical properties of (K<inf>0.5</inf>Na<inf>0.5</inf>)(Nb<inf>0.7</inf>Ta<inf>0.3</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> (KNNT) ceramics synthesized by the solid-state combustion technique using glycine as fuel has been investigated. All samples were calcined at 600°C to 800°C for 2 h and sintered at 1150°C to 1190°C for 2 h to 5 h. Pure KNNT powders were produced after calcination at 600°C for 2 h. The average particle size increased when the calcination temperature was increased. The KNNT powder calcined at 600°C for 2 h showed rather square morphology with average particle size of ∼ 160 nm. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis results for the ceramics revealed the presence of orthorhombic (O) and tetragonal (T) phases in all samples. When sintering at 1150°C for 4 h, the O:T ratio was 50:50, as verified by the Rietveld refinement technique. The average grain size, density values, and dielectric properties tended to increase when the dwell time was increased from 2 h to 4 h, but then degraded. The KNNT ceramic produced at the optimum firing condition (1150°C for 4 h) showed good crystalline morphology, the highest density (ρ = 5.28 g/cm<sup>3</sup>), the highest dielectric constant (ε<inf>C</inf> = 5002), and good ferroelectric behavior (P<inf>r</inf> = 18.50 μC/cm<sup>2</sup> and E<inf>c</inf> = 9.04 kV/cm).

    We reported herein the temperature-dependent dielectric properties of K<inf>0.8</inf>M<inf>0.4</inf>Ti<inf>1.6</inf>O<inf>4</inf> (M = Ni, Zn) lepidocrocite titanate ceramics at the frequency f of 10<sup>3</sup>, 10<sup>4</sup> and 10<sup>5</sup> Hz. This titanate is an example of layered alkali titanium oxides possessing two-dimensional (2D) sheets of edge-shared TiO<inf>6</inf> octahedra, in contrast to other widely studied materials with mostly corner-shared TiO<inf>6</inf> motifs. The giant dielectric constants ε′ ∼10<sup>4</sup> and the dielectric losses tan δ ∼ 0.5–2 were obtained upon heating from RT to 250 °C. These values in our water-free ceramics are comparable to those previously reported in lepidocrocite titanate and related structures containing up to 15%wt water. The results were explained considering (i) Maxwell-Wagner polarization of interlayer species, and (ii) the possible formation of internal barrier layer capacitors (IBLCs) via the oxidized surfaces.

    This work studied the effect of firing conditions on phase formation, microstructure and electrical properties of (Ba<inf>0.85</inf>Ca<inf>0.15</inf>)(Ti<inf>0.90</inf>Zr<inf>0.10</inf>)O<inf>3</inf>;(abbreviated as BCTZ) ceramics, which were synthesized through the combustion technique. To reduce the reaction temperature, glycine was used as fuel with a ratio of raw material: glycine (1:1.11). BCTZ samples were calcined at 900-1200°C for 2 h and sintered at 1350 -1550°C for 2 h. Ultrafine BCTZ powder and single peroveskite phase were achieved from the sample calcined at 1050°C for 2 h.These results were obtained at a lower temperature and with shorter dwell time than those obtained using the solid state reaction method by ∼150°C and 1 h, respectively. The BCTZ ceramics exhibited a coexistence of rhombohedral and orthorhombic phase in all samples. The average particle size and the average grain size increased from 172 to 295 nm and 0.82 to 2.57 μm, respectively, when firing temperatures increased. The highest density (5.76 g/cm<sup>3</sup>), highest dielectric constant (ε<inf>r</inf> ≅ 4485 and ε<inf>max</inf> ≅ 14897) and best ferroelectric properties (P<inf>r</inf> ≅ 18.47 C/cm<sup>2</sup> and E<inf>C</inf> ≅ 4.52 kV/cm) were obtained from the sample sintered at 1450°C for 2 h.

    The fabrication of 0.62[0.75Pb(Mg<inf>1/3</inf>Nb<inf>2/3</inf>)O <inf>3</inf>-0.25Pb(Yb<inf>1/2</inf>Nb<inf>1/2</inf>)O<inf>3</inf>]-0. 38PbTiO<inf>3</inf> ceramics (abbreviated PMN-PYbN-PT) by combustion technique using one step calcination was studied. Glycine was used as fuel to reduce the reaction temperature. The phase formation, microstructure, density and dielectric properties were investigated. It was shown that calcination method is more effective than conventional solid state reaction. The crystal structure of PMN-PYbN-PT ceramics exhibited a single rhombohedral perovskite phase in samples sintered at temperature T < 1200°C. The pyrochlore phase was found in the samples sintered at 1200°C. The average grain size of the ceramics increases with increasing sintering temperature. The density and the maximum dielectric constant increases with increasing sintering temperatures up to 1150°C, and then decreases at higher temperatures. The maximum density (8.04 g/cm<sup>3</sup>), highest dielectric constant (19000) and excellent ferroelectric properties (P<inf>r</inf> ∼ 41.05 μC/cm<sup>2</sup>and E<inf>c</inf> ∼ 8.1 kV/cm) were obtained for the sample sintered at 1150°C. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

    Lead strontium titanate [(Pb5<inf>0</inf>Sr5<inf>0</inf>)TiO<inf>3</inf>; PST] ceramics were fabricated by the conventional solid state reaction method using calcination and sintering temperatures of 950°C and 1250°C. To prevent PbO evaporation during the firing processes, excess PbO was added to the samples in varying amounts from 0-10 wt.%. It was found that PST powders indexed in a tetragonal structure. Impurity phases were detected in the calcined powders which had excess PbO higher than 3 wt%. A pure perovskite phase was obtained from all ceramic samples. The lattice parameters a, c and the c/a ratio decreased with an increasing excess of PbO. The average particle size and the average grain size increased with the increase of PbO. The porous microstructure slightly decreased with an increasing amount of PbO, up to 1 wt.%, then slightly increased with higher excess PbO. The density can be improved by adding 1 wt.% of excess PbO. The dielectric constant increased from 7500 for the 0 wt.% sample to 8300 for the 1 wt%. This was followed by reductions for 3, 5 and 10wt.%. The Curie temperature and transition enthalpy slightly increased with an increase amount of PbO until 1 wt.%, then slightly decreased, for the higher excess PbO. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
