Abstract: Bi1.5-xCaxZnNb1.5O7(0.00≤x≤0.50, BCZN) ceramics were prepared by solid phase reaction. The effects of Ca2+ substituting Bi3+ on the sintering properties, microstructure, dielectric and crystal chemistry properties of Bi1.5ZnNb1.5O7 based ceramics were investigated. The results revealed that when x≤0.25 mol, crystal structure of Bi1.5-xCaxZnNb1.5O7 ceramics via X-ray diffraction(XRD) was pure α-BZN phase. With the amount of Ca2+ ion increasing, the sintering temperature increased from 1000℃ to 1020℃, the density decreased from 7.011 g/cm3 to 6.353 g/cm3; and the grain size, lattice constant, resistivity all gradually decreased. For the crystal chemistry parameters, with the amount of Ca2+ ion increasing, AV(O')[Bi4], AV(O')[Bi3Zn], AV(O')[Bi2Zn2], AV(O')[Ca3Zn] all gradually increased, which coincided with the changes of lattice constant and dielectric properties.

Key words: Bi1.5-xCaxZnNb1.5O7 ceramics, lattice constant, dielectric properties, bond valence theory
