4. Conclusions
In this work, ZnO/Al2O3 composite coatings were fabricated by atmosphere plasma spraying. The use of aluminum sol as the source of Al2O3 filler can significantly facilitate the dispersion of ZnO. The coatings showed a relative dense structure, and the coating porosity increased with higher annealing temperatures. The formation of ZnAl2O4 phase originated from the solid reaction between ZnO and Al2O3 was observed when the coatings were annealed at 900 ◦C in both air and vacuum atmospheres. The dielectric properties of the sprayed coatings with different annealing temperature and atmosphere were studied. Both the real part (ε ) and the imaginary part (ε ) of the ZnO/Al2O3 composite coating were drastically decreased when increasing the annealing temperature in air atmosphere, while the obvious increase of complex permittivity was found when the coatings were annealed in vacuum atmosphere. The notable differences of dielectric properties between the coatings annealed in air or vacuum could be ascribed to an oxygen vacancy mechanism, that the concentration of the charge carriers induced by oxygen vacancy in ZnO was significantly affected by the annealing temperature and the oxygen pressure of annealing atmosphere. Summarily, the dielectric property of the ZnO/Al2O3 composite coating is extremely sensitive to the working temperature and atmosphere (atleastin air or vacuum from our current experiment), which limited their potential in the field of high temperature absorbing materials. However, annealing treatment which plays an important role in the dielectric performance of ZnO based materials can be employed as a promising alternative for optimization of electromagnetic parameters taking account of its cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and flexibility
