In order to investigate the effects of Na 2 CO 3 /ZnO co-addition on the sinterability and electrical conductivity of BaZr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.1 Sc 0.1 O 3-δ (BZCYSc) ceramic, Na 2 CO 3 and ZnO were added and BZCYSc/ZnO/Na 2 CO 3 ceramic was prepared by mechanical ball milling and high-temperature sintering in air. The crystalline structure, micro-morphology, chemical composition, density, and electrical conductivity of the sintered ceramics were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, Archimedes method, and electrochemical impedance spectrum, respectively. The grains size of BZCYSc-2%ZnO-5%Na 2 CO 3 is about 2.5~5 μm. Na 2 CO 3 /ZnO co-addition is beneficial to improve the sinterability and electrical conductivity of BZCYSc. The sintering temperature of BZCYSc can be lowered from 1550 to 1350 °C when 2 mol%ZnO is added. At 550 °C, the electrical conductivities of BZCYSc-2%ZnO-10%Na 2 CO 3 and BZCYSc are 1.90 × 10 −3 S/cm and 1.81 × 10 −3 S/cm. The activation energies of BZCYSc and BZCYSc-2%ZnO-10%Na 2 CO 3 are 0.7529 eV and 0.5641 eV, respectively.

This work aims to fabricate the Yb:LuScO 3 sesquioxides transparent ceramics for use in ultrafast and ultrashort laser technology. 1 at.% Yb:LuScO 3 nanopowders were fabricated using the glycine-nitrate process. ZrO(NO 3 ) 2 was selected as the precursor of ZrO 2 which functions as a sintering aid. Yb:LuScO 3 transparent ceramics with different ZrO 2 content were fabricated by vacuum sintering at 1780 °C and HIPing at 1650 °C, among which the ceramic with 7 at.% ZrO 2 showed the highest transmittance, reaching 81 % at 2000 nm. The ceramic achieved a maximum output power of 1.5 W at 1038 nm with a slope efficiency of 34.8 % and tunable wavelength range exceeding 22 nm. The results demonstrated that Yb:LuScO 3 transparent ceramics can be considered as promising materials in 1 μm solid-state laser applications.

MgAl 2 O 4 :Cr 3+ transparent ceramics were prepared by a hot-pressed sintering process with Y 2 O 3 and La 2 O 3 as sintering aids, and the effects on the microstructure, densification, optical transmission, and photoluminescent properties were investigated. The sintering aids of Y 2 O 3 and La 2 O 3 enhanced the relative density, reaching 99.33% with 2.4 wt% Y 2 O 3 and 99.24% with 0.8 wt% La 2 O 3 . La 2 O 3 also inhibited abnormal grain growth and obtained ceramics with uniform grain size. In addition, the optical transmission was also improved with Y 2 O 3 and La 2 O 3 as sintering aids. The transmission of the ceramic with 2.4 wt% Y 2 O 3 exceeded 78% in the region of 700–6000 nm and reached 83% at 1450 nm. Moreover, Y 2 O 3 and La 2 O 3 both contributed to improving the quantum yield of the ceramics, especially for Y 2 O 3 , and the quantum yield was about 0.354, which was approximately two times higher than that without R 2 O 3 . In summary, La 2 O 3 was helpful for improving sintering process, inhibiting grain growth, and homogenizing the grain size, while Y 2 O 3 was significant for enhancing the optical and photoluminescent properties.

A fully dense TaC ceramic was prepared by hot pressing using 10 mol% ZrC plus 5 mol% Cu as a sintering aid. Formation of (Ta, Zr)C solid solution (ss) by reaction between TaC and ZrC facilitated densification. Addition of Cu refined the microstructure and consequently improved flexural strength of the TaC ceramics. TEM investigation found ubiquitous precipitation of nanocrystallites at multigrain conjunctions. The nanocrystallites were (Ta, Zr)C solid solution with uniform dispersion in an oxygen-rich glassy matrix. Although formation of nanoprecipitates may not much affect the mechanical properties of the TaC ceramic, the structure suggested a new type of nanoceramic worth further research.

In recent years, compared with traditional refrigeration technology, the electrocaloric refrigeration technology has been applied in variety of green cooling devices due to its high efficiency and environmentally friendly. Recent findings reveal that the ceramic system with additives (such as, LiBiO 2 , PbO) can create large ECE under low electric field. In this work, the ternary glass BaO–CaO–SiO 2 (BCS) was used as a sintering aid to enhance the electrocaloric (EC) response of 0.2Ba(Ti 0.9 Sn 0.1 )O 3 -0.8Ba(Zr 0.18 Ti 0.82 )O 3 (BZSnT20) bulk ceramics. The EC properties of BZSnT20 could be also improved via controlling sintering temperature and the content of BCS sintering aid. It was found that BZSnT20 with 0.5 wt% BCS show the maximum EC response of 3.2 K under 7 MV/m with sintering temperature of 1262 °C. These results demonstrated that the ECE of BZSnT20 can be boosted by using appropriate additives, which provides an effective route to realize large ECE under low electric fields.

Proton-conducting solid oxide electrolysis cells (H-SOECs) are attracting attentions of researchers due to their unique advantages. The proton-conducting material BaCe 0·7 Zr 0·1 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3-δ (BZCYYb) has both the advantages of barium ceria-based and barium zirconate-based materials. BZCYYb material usually is synthesized by solid-state reaction (SSR) method, hence the densification of this electrolyte material is the key to restrict the application of H-SOECs. In this paper, effects of adding 1 wt% of different sintering aids (NiO, CuO, ZnO) to BZCYYb on the grain size and the conductivity are investigated. After adding 1 wt% of NiO and CuO sintering aids, BZCYYb electrolyte achieves ideal density. The electrical conductivity of four samples (BZCYYb without adding sintering aid, BZCYYb with 1 wt% NiO, CuO, ZnO, respectively) is tested under different steam concentrations of air, nitrogen, hydrogen, and nitrogen-hydrogen mixture. The conductivity increased after the sintering aid is added. With the increase of steam concentration, the conductivity decreased slightly and then increased due to electron holes under oxygen atmosphere with steam at high temperature. In other atmospheres, the conductivity increases with the steam concentration. In the atmosphere of 20 vol% H 2 O-Air and H 2 , the conductivity of the BZCYYb samples with 1 wt% CuO is about 1.087 × 10 −2 S cm −1 and 9.02 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 650 °C, and the conductivity of the BZCYYb samples with 1 wt% NiO is 1.277 × 10 −2 S cm −1 and 8.24 × 10 −3 S cm −1 , respectively. However, compared with NiO, CuO has advantages in promoting hydration reaction and proton conduction of BZCYYb electrolyte.
