Properties of BiFeO3-(Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.10Ti0.90)O3 Ceramics Prepared by Two-Step Sintering Method
The ferroelectric property of ceramics can be significantly improved by adding (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.10Ti0.90)O3 into BiFeO3. However, the sintering temperature of ceramics prepared by traditional solid-state method is high, resulting in increasing internal defects of ceramic materials. In this study, 0.7BiFeO3-0.3(Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.10Ti0.90)O3-0.15% (mass fraction) MnCO3 (abbreviated as 0.7BF-0.3BCZT) ceramics were sintered using the two-step sintering method based on the short-term sintering at high temperature (T1) and long-term holding at low temperature (T2). The effect of T1 temperature on the phase composition, microstructure, ferroelectric and dielectric properties of as-prepared ceramics was investigated. The results reveal that the phase structures of as-prepared ceramics are coexistence of rhombohedral and pseudo-cubic phases with no evidence of secondary phase. With the increase of T1 sintering temperature, the bulk density, dielectric constant and remanent polarization of ceramics increase first and then decrease. Consequently, the ceramics prepared at T1=1 040 ℃ demonstrate excellent dielectric and ferroelectric properties. The maximum dielectric constant and remanent polarization are 6 706.10 and 8.53 μC/cm2, respectively.
