Notes:
Three series of ZnO-based materials with different doping levels were prepared. The correlationbetween the composition and microstructure, and the roles of main dopants, Bi2O3 and Sb2O3, in thesintering behaviors were proposed. Both Bi2O3 and Sb2O3 evaporated at 1115°C, but the amount of them,in which bismuth is the majority, is not significant. Bi2O3 functioned mainly as liquid during sintering topromote the sintering of ZnO, but it doesn’t mean the materials will be denser. The bismuth-rich phaseretracted into small pores during cooling, leaving the big pores as voids at room temperature. More Bi2O3added would result in less increase in material densities and dramatic decrease in relative densities, and alittle bit increase in grain sizes of matrix ZnO. Sb2O3 would react with ZnO matrix into spinel, Zn7Sb2O12,which will pin at the grain boundary of ZnO to control the ZnO grain growth. The more Sb2O3 added, thesmaller the grain sizes of ZnO. Appropriate amount of Sb2O3 added will yield denser materials
