Lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) was prepared by a sol-gel process. As one process, lead acetate, zirconium tetra-nbutoxide, and titanium tetra-iso-propoxide were used as raw materials. 2-methoxyethanol and diethanolamine were used as solvents. As another process, lead acetate, zirconyl nitrate, and titanium tetra-n-butoxide were used as raw materials. Distilled water, acetic acid, and tri-ethylene glycol were used as solvents. PZT were synthesized twelve ways on the basics to the two processes. Synthesized PZT by each had been dried for 24 h at 338K. Dried samples had been sintered for lh at 773K, 873K, and 1023K in air. The sintered samples were evaluated by X-ray analysis.
