AB  - Barium-stannate (BaSnO3, BSO) is a member of the perovskite-type alkaline
earth stannates ASnO3 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) with an ideal cubic crystal structure (space
group: ). Doping with antimony (Sb5+) can change this wide band-gap
semiconductor (Eg = 3.1-3.4 eV) into an n-type semiconductor with high electrical
conductivity at room temperature. The major drawbacks in the BSO-based ceramics
synthesis are phase composition and low density of final ceramic materials. These
problems could be solved using spark plasma sintering (SPS), a current and
pressure-assisted technique, which enables the preparation of dense ceramics at
significantly lower temperatures and for a shorter time.
To investigate the influence of spark plasma sintering temperature on the
structural, microstructural and electrical properties of BaSn1-xSbxO3 (BSSO, x =
0.00; 0,04; 0.06; 0.08; and 0.10) ceramics samples, BSSO powders were spark
plasma sintered at 1100 °C, 1200 °C and 1250 °C for 5 min.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that all ceramic samples sintered at
1100 °C crystallized in a single-phased cubic BSO structure. Their relative densities
were in the range of 72–82% ρt. Sintering at 1200 °C increased the samples’ relative
densities to 79–96% ρt, but also induced the formation of a barium-rich secondary
phase, Ba2SnO4. Rising the sintering temperature further to 1250 °C induced the
melting of all samples except BaSn0.92Sb0.08O3. Field emission scanning electron
microscopy (FE-SEM) revealed that doping with antimony decreased the grain sizes
in BSSO samples sintered at 1100 °C and 1200 °C up to the concentration x = 0.08.
Electrical measurements revealed the typical semiconductor behavior of the
undoped samples, showing nonlinear current-voltage characteristic and the existence
of one semicircle in their impedance spectra, characteristic for materials with double
Schottky barrier at the grain boundaries. However, samples with higher dopant
concentrations (x = 0.08 and 0.10) showed significantly lower electrical resistivity
and linear current-voltage characteristic. The lowest and almost constant value of
electrical resistivity in the temperature range of 25–150 °C, and complete loss of the
semicircle in its impedance spectrum revealed the metallic-like behavior of sample
BaSn0.92Sb0.08O3 sintered at 1200 °C.

AB  - Hierarchical nanostructures with multiporous tin oxide nanofibers (SnO2-
MPNFs) and zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO-NRs) have been synthesized by combining
electrospinning technique and hydrothermal method. A solution containing
uniformly distributed tin (Sn) and silicon (Si) species of precursors, as well as a
sacrificial polymer (PVP) was electrospun using a single-nozzle spinneret to
fabricate nanofibers. In virtue of the Kirkendall effect driven by calcination at
550 °C, the SiO2-cored SnO2 nanofibers (SnO2-SiO2-NFs) deliberated from PVP
were formed and used as backbones for further hydrothermal growth of ZnO-NRs.
By varying the hydrothermal reaction time (0.5–2 h) at the constant concentration of
SnO2-SiO2-NFs, zinc (Zn) precursor, directing agent (hexamethylenetetramine,
HMT) and aqueous ammonia, the density, length and thickness of ZnO-NRs were
controlled. Nanofibers and ZnO-NRs/SnO2-MPNFs heterostructures are confirmed
by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microcopy (FE-SEM),
energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and
elemental mapping analysis. 
The hydrothermal treatment conducted at 90 °C in aqueous ammonia allowed:
a) selective etching of SiO2 from the SnO2-SiO2-NFs core and SiO2 trapped between
SnO2 particles, and b) effective growth of ZnO-NRs. The process resulted in
ZnO-NRs/SnO2-MPNFs heterostructures with ZnO-NRs of 1–5 μm in length
attached to SnO2-MPNFs, the shell of which was composed of ultra-fine SnO2
crystallites (~5 nm in size) and where the four porous channels create the core
instead of SiO2. Photocatalytic performance of the heterostructures was investigated
toward different organic azo-dyes (methylene blue, methyl orange) and obvious
enhancement was demonstrated in degradation of the organic pollutant, compared to
primary SnO2-based nanofibers.

AB  - Barium stannate, BaSnO3 (BSO), is a perovskite-type alkaline earth metal
stannate with almost ideal cubic structure. Appropriate doping can alter this wide
band gap material’s electrical characteristics and change it either into a proton
conductor or n-type semiconductor. In the case of Sb doping on Sn site, BSO
becomes n-type semiconductor with high electrical conductivity at 25 °C.
The major drawback of BSO-based ceramics is its low density. The
conventional solid state procedure requires long thermal treatments with several
intermittent grinding and heating steps at temperatures up to 1600 °C [1].
To overcome this problem, we used Spark Plasma Sintering technique (SPS) for
the preparation of BaSn1-xSbxO3, (x = 0.00 (BSSO0) and 0.08 (BSSO8)) ceramic
samples. The samples structural properties were investigated using XRD (X-Ray
Powder Diffraction), XPS (X-Ray Photoelectron Spectrophotmetry) and SIMS
(Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) analyses. XPS analysis revealed the existence
of many structural defects, including mixed oxidation states of tin (Sn2+/Sn4+) and
oxygen vacancies (VO) in both BSSO samples.
The electrical properties of the BSSO ceramic samples were investigated in the
temperature range of 4–300 K. The presence of oxygen vacancies in the BSSO0
sample led to the absence of the standard activated semiconductor behavior,
showing almost linear temperature-dependent resistivity in the examined
temperature range. On the other hand, the BSSO8 sample showed almost temperature-independent resistivity in the range of 70–300 K. This could be a
consequence of the presence of many structural defects such as mixed oxidation
states of Sn2+/Sn4+, probably Sb3+/Sb5+ and significant amount of O- species, as well
as the presence of the low angle grain boundaries found in this sample. The BSSO8
ceramic sample could satisfy the huge demand for the linear resistors with moderate
and high conductivity, due to its low and almost constant electrical resistivity in the
wide temperature.

AB  - Hexagonal (P63cm) yttrium manganite, YMnO3, is a multiferroic material with
ferroelectric transition at TC ≈ 900 K and antiferromagnetic transition at TN ≈ 70 K. Multiferroic behavior attracts a lot of attention because of its potential for
various applications. The application possibilities are limited by large
microcracking and microporosity of YMnO3 ceramics.
In this work, the influence of Ti-doping on structural, ferroelectric and magnetic
properties of YMnO3 ceramics was investigated. YMn1–xTixO3+δ (x = 0, 0.04, 0.08,
0.10, 0.15, 0.20) powders were prepared using sol-gel, polymerization complex
method from citrate precursors, which were then calcinated at 900 °C for 4 h. The
ceramic samples were obtained after sintering for 2 h at: 1400 °C for YMnO3,
YMn0.96Ti0.04O3+δ, YMn0.92Ti0.08O3+δ and YMn0.90Ti0.10O3+δ; 1450 C for
YMn0.85Ti0.15O3+δ; 1470 °C for YMn0.80Ti0.20O3+δ. X-ray diffraction (XRD),
transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM and SEM) were used for
structural and microstructural analysis of samples. Ferroelectric measurements of
P(E) loops and leakage currents, and magnetic measurements of zero field cooled
(ZFC) and field cooled (FC) M(T) curves, as well as M(H) curves, were enabled
multiferroic characterization of ceramic samples.
The samples x = 0 and 0.04 are crystallized in a single phased hexagonal
structure, (P63cm), the samples x = 0.08 and 0.10 exhibited the presence of both
hexagonal phase and rhombohedral phase (R3c), and the samples x = 0.15 and 0.20
are crystallized in rhombohedral 1×1×3 superstructure. Ti-doped YMnO3 ceramic
samples showed reduced density of microcracks, and inter- and intragranular pores,
and large increase in relative density (greater than 90 %) for YMn1–xTixO3+δ (x =
0.10, 0.15 and 0.20) samples. Leakage currents for most of doped samples were
lower than leakage current of undoped sample, but the ferroelectric response was not
significantly improved. Doping of YMnO3 with nonmagnetic Ti4+ led to suppression
of antiferromagnetic ordering visible through decrease of the Néel temperature and
Weiss parameter and the appearance of weak ferromagnetism.

AB  - Yttrium manganite, YMnO3, was doped with different concentrations of titanium (x = 0, 0.04, 0.08, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) in order to improve the microstructural and multiferroic properties. The powders were prepared using sol-gel polymerization complex method from citrate precursors. Depending on the titanium concentration, the hexagonal structure and/or the rhombohedral superstructure are present in the sintered samples. The YMn1–xTixO3+δ (x = 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) ceramic samples showed significantly reduced density of microcracks, and of inter- and intragranular pores, and relative densities greater than 90 %. The structural parameters for YMn1–xTixO3+δ (x = 0, 0.10, 0.15) were correlated with the results of magnetic and ferroelectric measurements. The most of titanium-doped samples showed a reduction of the leakage current density in comparison with undoped YMnO3, and their ferroelectric responses were slightly improved. The modifications in structural arrangement resulted in partial suppression of ideal antiferromagnetic ordering visible through decrease of the Néel temperature and Weiss parameter, as well as the appearance of weak ferromagnetism and increase of magnetization (especially, in samples x = 0.08, 0.10, 0.15). These changes in physical quantities most likely originated from incorporation of the uncompensated magnetic moments and possible spin canting induced by enhanced symmetry break of the superexchange bridges.

AB  - In this study, the possibility to stabilize O-2 ion conductors in Bi2O3-V2O5 system was investigated. Six pseudo-binary Bi2O3-V2O5 mixtures [3.50  lt  x(V2O5)  lt  8.50 mol%] were thermally treated at 1000 degrees C for 1 h. The samples were characterized by XRD, HRTEM/SAED, DTA and EIS techniques. The high-temperature reaction between alpha Bi2O3 and V2O5 resulted in formation of microcrystalline single-phase specimens containing the phase based on delta-Bi2O3 if V2O5 content was >= 4.63 mol%. The obtained phases exhibited main diffraction peaks corresponding to the simple cubic delta-Bi2O3 (space group Fm-3m) but Rietveld refinement showed a threefold repeat on a simple cubic sublattice indicating that the true unit cell is 3x3x3 supercell. Within proposed supercell, the octahedrally coordinated V5+ ions fully occupy 4a Wyckoff position and partially occupy 32f. The Bi3+ ions are placed at the rest of 32f and at 24e and 48h with full occupation. In total, 22 % of anionic sites are vacant. The ionic conductivity of phase with the lowest dopant content, i.e. Bi103V5O167, amounts 0.283 S cm(-1) at 800 degrees C with the activation energy of 0.64(5) eV, which is comparable to the undoped delta-Bi2O3 known as the fastest ion conductor.

AB  - Yttrium manganite, YMnO3, is a multiferroic material, which exhibits ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic behavior. These properties make it suitable for various applications. Large microcracking and porosity in YMnO3 ceramics strongly affect the material’s ferroelectric response. In this work, the effect of Ti doping on structure, microstructure and ferroelectric properties of YMnO3 ceramics was investigated. The powders YMn1-xTixO3 (x = 0; 0.10; 0.15; 0.20) were prepared by polymerization complex (PC) method from citrate precursors, and calcined at 900 °C for 4 h. The ceramic samples YMnO3 (YMO) and YMn0.9Ti0.1O3 (YMTO10) were obtained after sintering at 1400 °C, YMn0.85Ti0.15O3 (YMTO15) – at 1450 C and YMn0.8Ti0.2O3 (YMTO20) – at 1470 °C, for 2 h. Structural properties and phase composition of sintered samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and their microstructure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ferroelectric characterization was carried out by measuring of P(E) hysteresis loops and leakage current density (jl). XRD patterns of all ceramic samples revealed single-phased hexagonal (P63cm) structure. It was observed that Ti-doped YMnO3 ceramic samples have reduced microcracking, inter- and intragranular porosity. Leakage current densities of the
samples YMTO10 and YMTO20 were lower compared to that of sample YMO. YMTO20 showed higher electrical conductivity, but all samples indicated weak ferroelectric response.
