To gain the effect of post-heat-treatment on the density development, density of the as-cold-sintered and post-heat-treated ZnO ceramics was measured, as demonstrated in Fig. 2. High relative density of ~97.5% is obtained for the samples after CSP. An obvious enhancement in density is observed after post-heat-treating at 300 °C in Ar atmosphere, reaching a high value of 99.1%. The density increases slowly by further increasing the post-heat-treating temperature and reaches a maximum with a nearly full density of 99.6% at 600 °C. After that, it decreases slightly with increasing post-heat-treating temperature. The density evolution unambiguously indicates that the cold sintering process is crucial to the initial density, and an appropriate post-heat-treatment will help to further enhance the density. A close relative density is obtained after post-heat-treated in Ar atmosphere and air at 500℃(Fig.2), similar to the phenomenon observed in XRD patterns, indicating the final densification process is independent on the post-heat-treating atmosphere.
