In this research, The effects of NiO nanoparticles on the physical and mechanical properties of Bi0.5(Na0.81,K0.19)0.5TiO3 (BNKT) were investigated. The ceramics were synthesized by solid state reaction technique. The powder of BNKT was calcined at 850 °C for 4 h. The ceramics of BNKT/x NiO vol.% ( i.e. x= 0.0, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0) were sintered at 1000-1150 °C for 2 h for optimize condition. Densification, phase formation, microstructure and micro hardness of samples were characterized via Archimedes method, X-ray diffraction techniques (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Vickers micro hardness tester. The X-ray diffraction analysis of the ceramics suggests that all samples exhibited a perovskite structure. Densification of samples tended to increase with increasing amount of NiO content with minimun at 1.0 vol.% NiO additive. The NiO additive influenced densification as well as the mechanical properties of the samples. The results of this research suggest that NiO nanoparticles have influence on physical and mechanical properties of BNKT ceramics.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
