Abstract

In order to satisfy EIA X8R specification, a new type of BaTiO 3-based ceramic with hierarchical structure in a formula scheme "a ferroelectric ABO 3 + another ferroelectric ABO 3", was designed. There were (Ba, Bi)TiO 3 and Ba(Ti, Zr)O 3 phases with different Curie temperatures coexisting in the grains from inside to outside, prepared by wet chemical method under 100 °C. The hierarchical structure of the ceramic grains was proved by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The dielectric constant of (Ba, Bi)TiO 3-Ba(Ti, Zr)O 3 ceramic was ∼6000, the ΔC/C 20 °C was -12.0%, 14.1%, and -8.3% at -55 °C, 130 °C, and 160 °C, respectively, and the dielectric loss is less than 0.1, which is obviously superior to (Ba, Bi)TiO 3 and Ba(Ti, Zr)O 3. The results of this work showed that the formula scheme "a ferroelectric ABO 3 + another ferroelectric ABO 3" for solid solutions is a promising approach to prepare high performance temperature-stable capacitor materials.
