Abstract

Low-temperature-sintered Ba1−xCaxNi2V2O8 ceramics were synthesized by the traditional solid-state sintering method. Ba1−xCaxNi2V2O8 compound crystallized into hexagonal BaNi2V2O8 phase with space group of R-3. The effects of partial substitution of Ba2+ by Ca2+ on the densification, grain growth, microwave dielectric properties, crystalline phases, and microstructures of Ba1−xCaxNi2V2O8 ceramics were studied. The addition of calcium led to the precipitation of a new crystalline phase of Ca5Ni4(VO4)6. The replacement can improve ceramics’ Q × f value but has a limited effect on τf value. The Ba0.8Ca0.2Ni2V2O8 ceramic sintered at 900 °C for 4 h showed the good microwave dielectric performances: εr = 9.3, Q × f = 53,200 GHz, and τf = -55.7 ppm/°C. The Ba1−xCaxNi2V2O8 ceramics can be a candidate material in LTCC technology.
