The Synthesis of CaCu3Ti4O12 High Dielectric Ceramics by a Spark Plasma Sintering Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) ceramics were synthesized by a spark plasma sintering technique, and then were annealed in air at different temperatures. The characterization methods including X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that the composition distribution, the valance of the Ti ions of the CCTO ceramics have great dependence on the annealing temperature, which result in that the dielectric properties of the CCTO ceramics have great dependence on the annealing temperature. The annealing at 500 and 700 °C can enhance the dielectric constants greatly, and the dielectric loss at high frequence (1 MHz) reduces with the increase of the annealing temperature. These annealing-dependent dielectric properties are ascribed to the oxygen vacancies and the holes formed in the sintering and annealing treatment.
