Microstructural and Electrical Properties of ZnO Ceramics with ZnO-Na₂O-P₂O₅ Glass Oxide Additions

Abstract:

The compositions, electrical properties and microstructures of zinc oxide ceramics with various 46.6ZnO-20Na₂O-33.4P₂O₅ glass oxide additions prepared by solid-state method have been investigated. The structure of the materials is studied using X-Ray diffraction, and the microstructure is analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that the electrical properties were associated with the amount of 46.6ZnO-20Na₂O-33.4P₂O₅ glass oxide additions and the sintering temperatures. The correlation between the microstructures, oxide additions and the sintering temperature was also discussed. From the results of electrical properties measurements, zinc oxide ceramics with various 46.6ZnO-20Na₂O-33.4P₂O₅ glass oxide additions exhibits a good electrical behavior, which can be a suitable candidate material for electronic device applications.
