Fabrication of Lead-Free and High Tc Positive Temperature Coefficient of Resistivity Ceramics Sintered in Air

Article Preview

Abstract:

As a lead-free positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) material, [Ba0.95-x (K0.5Bi0.5)0.05Cax]1-yNbyO3 system was prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. All samples sintered in air at 1300°C possess PTC characteristics as well as semi-conductivity characteristics, especially they show high Tc(130°C~160°C) value and the jump of the resistivity (maximum resistivity ρmax / minimum resistivity ρmin ) is four orders of magnitude. Samples with the composition of 0.3mol% Nb5+ have low room-temperature resistivity (ρ25°C) of ~103Ω.cm.
