Popis: Li 4 Ti 5(1+ x ) O 12 (−0.15≤ x ≤0.10) ceramics were successfully prepared via a conventional solid state method. The phase evolution, sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties were systematically studied. As x ≥0, TiO 2 appeared as a secondary phase. Single phase Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 was obtained at x =−0.10 to −0.05 with a cubic spinel structure, belonging to Fd−3m space group. Another impurity Li 2 TiO 3 arose at x =−0.15, probably resulting from the overmuch Ti vacancies in the structure. Highest e r (~26) and Q×f (~68000 GHz) were achieved in pure-phase Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 ( x =−0.10), because suitable excess lithium not only compensated for the volatilization of lithium but greatly promoted the sintering behavior. Moreover, with the help of TiO 2 , τ f values of the ceramics within 0≤ x ≤0.10 were adjusted to near zero, accompanied with excellent microwave dielectric properties of e r =18~24, Q×f ~10000 GHz. Furthermore, these samples were chemically compatible with Ag. Thus, the Li 4 Ti 5(1+ x ) O 12 (−0.15≤ x ≤0.10) ceramics could be promising medium permittivity materials in consideration of their low cost, low sintering temperature and superior properties.
