Abstract

Using non-aqueous Pechini method, Pb(Zr0.95Ti0.05)O3 powders were prepared at low temperature by one-step pyrolysis process. The polymeric gels and powders were characterized using a range of techniques, such as DTG, XRD, SEM, Raman spectroscopy, and laser particle size distribution. The perovskite phase was formed at about 350-400 °C and some oxocarbonate impurities can be detected in all samples after calcining at 400-850 °C by one-step pyrolysis process. Phase pure and porous Pb(Zr0.95Ti0.05)O3 ceramics were obtained without pore formers from the powders by one-step pyrolysis process at 500 °C for 4 h. The relative densities were 87%, 91% and 94% for the ceramics sintered at 1100, 1150 and 1200 °C for 2 h, respectively. The porous ceramics sintered at 1200 °C for 2 h have homogeneously dispersed pores and fine-grain structures with an individual grain size of 0.7-2 μm.
