Abstract:

The ferroelectric ceramic, Barium Strontium Tinanate (Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3), was prepared by the sol-gel combustion method using citric acid, urea, and glycine as the fuel for reduce the calcination temperature. The molar ratio of sol powderto fuel was 1:1. All of the samples were calcined at 450, 550, 650, 750, 850 and 950°C for 2 h. Then,Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 powders were applied with acid treatment process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) analysis were used to characterize the crystal structure and microstructure. The perovskite phases of BST and the pyrochlore (BaCO3,SrCO3) were obtained after the calcinations temperature of 550°C. BST powders were applied with acid treatment process.The XRD result showed the pure perovskite phase without the phase of pyrochlore in all of the samples. Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3was in cubic structure, corresponding to JCPDS 34-0411. SEM analysis of BST powders calcined at 750°C.The particles were spherical morphology and had agglomerates while the particles sizes were larger corresponding with the increase of calcinations temperature.The results for TEM analysis of the BST powders prepared by using urea as the fuel had a smaller particles,and the average of particle size was about 47 nm.
