BiFeO₃ has a Curie temperature (T_C) of 825 °C, making it difficult to sinter with conventional methods while maintaining the purity of the material, as unavoidably secondary phases appear at temperatures above T_c. Flash sintering is a relatively new technique that saves time and energy compared to other sintering methods. BiFeO₃ was flash sintered at 500 °C to achieve 90% densification. In-situ energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) reflected that the material did not undergo any phase transformation, having been sintered well below the T_C. Interestingly, anisotropic lattice expansion in the materialwas observed when the sample was exposed to the electric field.
