Abstract
High dielectric Na0.5Bi0.5Cu3Ti4O12 (NBCTO) ceramics were firstly prepared by co-precipitation method at low temperature. X-ray diffraction results revealed that pure phase of NBCTO was achieved by calcination at 950 °C for 2 h. Thermo-gravimetric analysis on a dried NBCTO precursor was carried out to study the thermal decomposition process. The microstructure and dielectric properties of NBCTO ceramics sintered at different temperatures were investigated. The results indicate that the sintering temperature has a sensitive influence on the microstructure and dielectric properties. Higher sintering temperature gave rise to increased dielectric constant and dielectric loss of NBCTO samples, and the sample sintered at 975 °C for 8 h exhibits high dielectric constant of 8.3 × 103 and low dielectric loss of 0.069 at 10 kHz. The dielectric properties were further discussed by the impedance spectroscopy.
