Yet phase-pure LLZO remains difficult because secondary phases form, and the transition towards the tetragonal phase, aliovalent doping, mitigates these issues. Still, the phase formation pathway is not fully understood. Here, we present comparative in situ and ex situ studies of Nb- and Ta-doped LLZO (LLZNO and LLZTO) that were synthesized by a solid-state reaction. In situ/ex situ XRD reveals that the lithium precursor dictates the reaction path: differing decomposition temperatures of the lithium precursor define reaction windows that control cubic-phase purity and particle morphology. In air, limited Li diffusion favors oxycarbonates and pyrochlore, necessitating 950–1050 °C to achieve phase-pure cubic LLZO. Under N2, faster Li availability and diffusion enable uniform nucleation and a route to cubic LLZO without detectable secondary phases. These findings demonstrate the coupled effects of temperature, precursor, dopant, and atmosphere, guiding process optimization and scalable production.","PeriodicalId":9857,"journal":{"name":"Ceramics-silikaty","volume":"8 4","pages":"132-132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.mdpi.com/2571-6131/8/4/132/pdf?version=1761666823","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147916371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, polyaluminium sulphate (PAS) was introduced into ordinary Portland cement (OPC) to inhibit the corrosion of aluminium alloy. The results indicate that PAS successfully inhibited the corrosion of Al in hardened OPC paste, prevented the expansion and cracking, reduced the amount of hydrogen gas release and formed a thinner and dense corrosion layer on the Al plate surface. The mechanism of corrosion inhibition of Al by PAS was the increase of initial Al(OH)4− concentration by hydrolysis, which expanded the pH range of passivation and transformed the porous loose bayerite layer to a dense homogeneous one around the Al plate without modification of the corrosion product (bayerite). The corrosion rate of the Al alloy in hardened OPC paste was reduced by 213 times by the addition of PAS, from 288.30 mm a−1 without PAS addition to 1.35 mm a−1 with PAS addition. This study casts light on the effective inhibition of corrosion of the Al alloy in OPC.","PeriodicalId":9857,"journal":{"name":"Ceramics-silikaty","volume":"8 1","pages":"27-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.mdpi.com/2571-6131/8/1/27/pdf?version=1741608097","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147912542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An analysis conducted through XRD and Rietveld refinement confirmed that all the CZ1−xNx ceramics displayed a single phase with a trigonal structure (space group R-3c). The observed increases in cell volume with increasing x values indicate the successful substitution of (Ba1/3Nb2/3)4+. The high densification of the synthesized phase was validated by the density and SEM results. Additionally, the P-V-L theory demonstrates a strong correlation between the Ce-O bond and εr, as well as τf, and between the Mo-O bond and Q×f. Notably, the CZ0.98N0.02 ceramics demonstrated superior performance at 675 °C, exhibiting εr = 10.41, Q×f = 53,296 GHz, and τf = −23.45 ppm/°C. Finally, leveraging CZ0.98N0.02 ceramics as substrate materials enabled the design of a patch antenna suitable for the 5G communication band, demonstrating its significant potential in this field.","PeriodicalId":9857,"journal":{"name":"Ceramics-silikaty","volume":"7 3","pages":"1172-1186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147907722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we designed and prepared eco-friendly (1-x)Bi0.45Na0.45Ba0.1TiO3-xBi(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 multifunctional ferroelectric thin films for energy storage and photovoltaic. The results show that Bi(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 can effectively improve the energy storage performance. At x = 0.05, the energy storage density and efficiency are as high as 73.1 J/cm3 and 86.2%, respectively, and can operate stably in a wide temperature range. The breakdown field strength of the thin films increased significantly, and the analysis showed that the addition of Bi(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 caused a change in the internal conduction mechanism. At the same time, the generation of polar nanoregions increases the relaxation characteristics, thus improving the energy storage properties. In addition, the thin film material also has excellent ferroelectric photovoltaic properties. This work represents a new design paradigm that can serve as an effective strategy for developing advanced multi-functional materials.","PeriodicalId":9857,"journal":{"name":"Ceramics-silikaty","volume":"7 3","pages":"1043-1052"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.mdpi.com/2571-6131/7/3/68/pdf?version=1722497542","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147882336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
