In particular, Bi_4Ti_3O_(12) is a type of ferroelectric ceramics, which is supposed to replace leadcontaining ceramics for its outstanding dielectric properties in the near future. Ferroelectric ceramics of Bi_4Ti_3O_(12) made by conventional mixed oxide route have been studied by impedance spectroscopy in a wide range of temperature. X-ray diffraction patterns show that Bi_4Ti_3O_(12) ceramics are a single-phase of ferroelectric Bi-layered perovskite structure whether it is calcined at 800 ℃ or after sintering production. This study focused on the effect of the grain size on the electric properties of BIT ceramics. The BIT ceramics with different grain sizes were prepared at different sintering temperatures. Grain becomes coarser with the sintering temperature increasing by 50 ℃, relative permittivity and dielectric loss also change a lot. When sintered at 1 100 ℃, r values peak can reach 205.40 at a frequency of 100 k Hz, the minimum dielectric losses of four different frequencies make no difference, all close to 0.027. The values of Ea range from 0.52 to 0.68 e V. The dielectric properties of the sample sintered at 1 100 ℃ are relatively better than those of the other samples by analyzing the relationship of the grain, the internal stresses, the homogeneity and the dielectric properties. SEM can better explain the results of the dielectric spectrum at different sintering temperatures. The results show that Bi_4Ti_3O_(12) ceramics are a kind of dielectrics. Thus, Bi_4Ti_3O_(12) can be used in high-temperature capacitors and microwave ceramics.展开更多

The SEM and TEM results suggested that the nanosheets g-C_3N_4 were stacked on the surface of regular Bi_4Ti_3O_(12) sheets. Comparing with pure Bi_4Ti_3O_(12) and g-C_3N_4, the Bi_4Ti_3O_(12)/g-C_3N_4 composites showed significant enhancement in photocatalytic efficiency for the degradation of RhB in solution. With the mass ratio of g-C_3N_4 increasing to 10 wt%, the Bi_4Ti_3O_(12)/g-C_3N_4-10% presented the best photocatalytic activity. Its photocatalysis reaction constant was approximately 2 times higher than the single component Bi_4Ti_3O_(12) or g-C_3N_4. Meanwhile, good stability and durability for the Bi_4Ti_3O_(12)/g-C_3N_4-10% were confirmed by the recycling experiment and FT-IR analysis.
