Preparation and characterization of CaCu3Ti4O12 powders by non-hydrolytic sol–gel method
Source abstract
Abstract
CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) powders were prepared via a non-hydrolytic sol–gel (NHSG) method by using acetylacetone as chelating agent and ethylene glycol as solvent. The samples were characterized by TG–DSC, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The dielectric properties of ceramics were also measured. The pure perovskite-like CCTO powders were obtained by heat treatment at 800 °C for 2 h. The average particle sizes of CCTO powders calcined at 800 °C were approximately 350–450 nm. The samples sintered at 1,000 °C showed the mean grain size of 2.5–4 μm. Specially, the ceramics exhibited high dielectric constant (1.19 × 105–1.40 × 105) and low dielectric loss (0.051–0.1) in the temperature range of 30–110 °C. Moreover, with the NHSG method the period of synthesis process was greatly shortened.
