Abstract:

Ba0.985Bi0.01TiO3-BaTi1-xZrxO3 powders have been synthesized by two-step soft chemical method to satisfy EIA-X8R specification. Microstructural evaluation conducted by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy confirms the hierarchical structure of the ceramic grain. The shape of the ε-T curves near the dielectric peak becomes broad with the increase of Zr content. The permittivity of Ba0.985Bi0.01TiO3-BaTi0.9Zr0.1O3 ceramic is ~3000, C/C20 °C is-14.67%, 6.23% and-14.50% at-55°C, 130°C and 160°C, respectively, and the dielectric loss is less than 0.020. This work shows that the two-step soft chemical method is a promising approach for high performance temperature-stable capacitor materials.
