Papers by Keyword: (Pb,Zr,Ti)-Acetate Precursor

Abstract: [Pb(Zr,Ti)(OAc)x(OR)y] acetate-alkoxide precursor was prepared by chelating from organic Pb, Zr and Ti alkoxides by their dissolution in various amounts of acetic acid (AcOH). The optimum mole ratio of (Pb+Zr+Ti) to AcOH for preparation gel is 1:7 and a pure perovskite phase is formed at 500 °C. At a low AcOH concentration, two-phase (pyrochlore and perovskite) regions are formed during gellation. During sintering, the decomposition of a pyrochlore phase and the formation of a perovskite phase takes place Dependences of dielectric permitivities and losses on temperature in final PZT ceramics were very similar and they were not influenced by the type of calcinate.
