Abstract
In this paper we successfully densified NiMn2O4 (NMO) ceramics using the cold sintering process (CSP) with various molten salt fluxes as a transient liquid phase, achieving relative densities exceeding 95%. The resulting samples exhibited comparable properties to conventionally sintered counterparts, demonstrating the feasibility of the CSP for NMO thermistor production. Electrical characterization revealed NMO samples sintered via CSP exhibited NTC behavior with material constants (β) and temperature coefficients of resistivity (α) akin to conventionally sintered materials in the range of 3500-4300 K and 0.04-0.05 K-1. Despite slightly higher resistances attributed to differences in grain size and impurities, the CSP-produced NMO samples remained within the typical range for NTC thermistors.
期刊介绍:
ACS Central Science publishes significant primary reports on research in chemistry and allied fields where chemical approaches are pivotal. As the first fully open-access journal by the American Chemical Society, it covers compelling and important contributions to the broad chemistry and scientific community. "Central science," a term popularized nearly 40 years ago, emphasizes chemistry's central role in connecting physical and life sciences, and fundamental sciences with applied disciplines like medicine and engineering. The journal focuses on exceptional quality articles, addressing advances in fundamental chemistry and interdisciplinary research.
