Synthesis of high density sub-10 µm (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3-xCeO2 lead-free ceramics using a two-step sintering technique

(Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3-xCeO2, (BCZTCe) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were processed conventionally using a two-step sintering technique. The results suggest that two-step sintering is an effective technique to acquire a high density (99%) homogeneous microstructure with sub-10 μm grain size...
