“Synthesis, structural characterization and electrical study of microwave assisted sintered (MS) lead based/lead free ferroelectric relaxor compounds”.
In this proposal, a detailed study of preparation, structural characterization and electrical properties of some lead/ non lead relaxor materials will be investigated. The materials will be characterized for structural homogeneity, grain size improvement and electrical properties. The proposed outlines of the present project are as follows: • Synthesis of ABO3 (lead/lead free)-type compounds by solid state reaction route as well as chemical co-precipitation route • Structural characterization of these phases and optimizing the parameter to obtain the single phase. • Prepare the bulk compounds and thin films of these materials. • Compare the properties of solid and thin films. • Study the electrical behaviour of these materials and understand the relaxation mechanism.

“Synthesis, structural and electrical characterization of microwave heat treated nanocrystalline components (electrode and electrolyte) of solid oxide fuel cells”.
The specific objectives of our project are: Develop single-phase nanocrystalline doped cubic zirconia and ceria electrolyte and compatible electrode materials by new chemical route/sol-gel/solid state route(ball mill)/liquid dispersion technique for intermediate operating temperature solid oxide fuel cells. To study and optimize the calcinations and sintering variables by using microwave heat treatment. Characterize the microstructure, phase evolution and electrical conductivity of SOFC components. How’s the nano-powder have an effect on sintering behavior and electrical properties of the electrolyte/electrode?
