Abstract

Lanthanum modified lead zirconate titanate have been prepared using sol-gel route. Inorganic salts metal alkoxides lead acetate (Pb(C2H3O2)2)·3H2O, tetrabutyl titanate (Ti(OC4H9)4), lanthanum nitrate (La(NO3)3·10H2O), and zirconium oxide nitrate (ZrO(NO3)2) were used as starting materials. Acetylacetone was used as chelating agent and formamide was used as drying control chemical additive (DCCA). Crack-free films were obtained. X-ray diffraction measurements indicated that the crystal constant of PLZT samples changes with sintering temperatures. The additive of formamide can control the hydrolysis rate and improve the surface morphology.
