Improved density and dielectric characteristics of Li2Mg3ZrO6-based ceramics by zirconium deficiency and LiF addition
摘要
In order to optimize the porous structure and impurity phase caused by lithium volatilization, zirconium deficiency and sintering agent addition were adopted simultaneously to prepare Li2Mg3Zr0.94O6—x LiF(x = 0w–5t.%) samples. The effects of LiF on structural composition, morphology, and dielectric characteristics of Li2Mg3Zr0.94O6 were studied. The results showed that modest LiF can reduce sintering temperature from 1375 to 900 °C. XRD and refinement analysis demonstrated that the samples retain a single rock salt structure within 2 wt.% ≤ x ≤ 4 wt.%. The SEM analysis confirmed that the porosity and grain size of Li2Mg3Zr0.94O6–x LiF samples gradually decreased with increasing LiF. The εr and Q × f exhibited a trend of initially increasing and then decreasing, which was closely related to the ionic polarization, phase composition, porosity and grain size. Particularly, Li2Mg3Zr0.94O6–4 wt.% LiF sample displayed excellent dielectric characteristics at 900 °C: εr = 13.66, Q × f = 99,800 GHz (10.06 GHZ) and τf = − 27.65 ppm/°C.
