Effects of Relative High Density Preparation of Interfacial Coated Pb(Zr_0.52Ti_0.48)O₃ on CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂ with Short Sintering Time on its Dielectric Properties

Abstract

Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3was coated on the surface of CaCu3Ti4O12particles that prepared using sol-gel method. Then the composite particles were sintered into composite ceramics using cold press with the two different pressures and pressing time to achieve sufficient higher relative density after sintering. Afterward, the composite particles were sintered into composite ceramics with various sintering time at the same temperature to reach smaller grain size and higher relative density. The results show that the ceramics are composed of Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3and CaCu3Ti4O12phases, and Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3phase is mainly exist at the grain boundary even the composite particles sintered for 2h before pellet making. The results exhibit when density of CaCu3Ti4O12/Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3composite ceramic is kept in higher level using this simple technology, not only The dissipation loss in these giant-dielectric constant materials was reduced to a considerable level of practical applications but also dielectric constant enhance to very high level in the large frequency range. The results show that the improvement of the dielectric loss and dielectric constant enhancing mainly comes from the increase in the density of the CaCu3Ti4O12/Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3composite ceramics using suitable pressure in cold press, suitable short sintering time that lead to smaller grain size and sufficient grain boundary.
