Introduction
As the most important functional materials, complex metal oxides have received considerable attention.
With the rapid growth of wireless communication industries, microwave devices with high performance
and miniaturized size have become increasingly important. Thus hexagonal ZnTiO3 ceramics have recently drawn much attention of researchers due to
their excellent dielectric properties in the microwave
range[1] and low-temperature sintering application[13].
But there has not been much work on cubic ZnTiO3,
which can be used as dielectric materials for microwave device and more preferably for low-temperature
co-fired ceramics(LTCCs)[4,5]. Metal cations, such as
Pb2+, Bi3+, and Ni2+, were doped into the cubic ZnTiO3
and the photoluminescence characteristics of the cubic
ZnTiO3 were studied in recent work[68]. Li+ with the
radius similar to that of Zn2+ is a promising candidate
for doping ZnTiO3. Additionally, there were many
researches about the synthesis of ZnSnO3 from
Li2SnO3 through low-temperature ion exchange[9],
which revealed that Li+ might replace Zn2+ in the cubic ZnTiO3. To our known, there has not been reported
about cubic(Zn,Li)TiO3 solid solution so far.
Various synthetic methods were effective for the

The dielectric constant of the (Zn,Li)TiO3 products were measured at ambient temperature in a
range of 60 kHz40 MHz[Fig.6(A)]. At the same
frequency, the dielectric constant of (Zn,Li)TiO3 decreased with lithium doping content increasing, which
may be due to the smaller ionic polarizability contribution to the dielectric constant of Li+ than Zn2+[22].
For the same x value, the dielectric loss tangent increased with increasing measurement frequency. And
when lithium doping content increased, the dielectric
