(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ceramics are an important class of materials with widespread applications in electronics and energy storage due to their high thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability.

Microwave cold sintering process (MW-CSP) was used to densify NaCl, KDP, MgMoO₄, Li₂MoO₄, and TiO₂ ceramics. Under the fundamental densification mechanisms dominated by the coupling of the transient ...

While the method of flash sintering can reduce the temperatures and time required to process ceramics in comparison with traditional methods, the technique often ...
