PTCR Characteristics and Microstructure of Porous (Ba,Sr)TiO3 Ceramics Prepared by Spark Plasma Sintering

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Porous Y-doped (Ba,Sr)TiO3 ceramics were prepared by the spark plasma sintering of (Ba,Sr)TiO3 powders with different amounts of carbon black, and by subsequently burning out the carbon black acting as a pore precursor. The microstructure, PTCR and gas-sensing characteristics for porous Y-doped (Ba,Sr)TiO3 ceramics were investigated. Spark plasma sintered (Ba,Sr)TiO3 ceramics revealed a very fine microstructure containing submicron-sized grains with a cubic phase and revealed an increased porosity after the carbon black was burned out. As a result of reoxidation treatment, the grain size of the (Ba,Sr)TiO3 ceramics increased to a few μm and the cubic phase transformed into a tetragonal phase. The phase transformation of (Ba,Sr)TiO3ceramics was affected by grain size. The PTCR jump in the (Ba,Sr)TiO3 ceramics prepared by adding 40vol.% carbon black showed an excellent value of 4.72 × 106, which was ten times higher than the PTCR jump in (Ba,Sr)TiO3 ceramics. The electrical resistivity of the porous (Ba,Sr)TiO3 ceramics was recovered as the atmosphere changed from a reducing gas (N2) to an oxidizing gas (O2) under consecutive heating and cooling cycles.
