Controlling the Oxygen Defects Concentration in a Pure BiFeO3 Bulk Ceramic

BiFeO ₃ is a multiferroic material with a perovskite structure that has a lot of potential for use in sensors and transducers. However, obtaining pure single-phase BiFeO ₃ ceramic with a low electrical conductivity via solid-state reactions remains a problem that limits its application. In this work, the suppression of...

BiFeO₃ synthesis by conventional solid-state reaction

BiFeO₃ is a multiferroic material with the perovskite structure which is promising for use in sensors and transducers. Single phase production of BiFeO₃ remains a challenge, however. In this study, the optimal calcination temperature to obtain close to single phase powder was determined to be 750°C. The sintering...
