Abstract

In this study, the (Ba, Ca)(Ti, Zr)O₃-based dielectric ceramics were prepared by the two-step sintering method. The effects of the first step sintering temperature (T1) on microscopic morphology and dielectric properties were investigated in detail. The two-step sintering method could effectively reduce the grain size and form a uniformly distributed microstructure. As a result, the temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) and the breakdown strength (BDS) were improved obviously, compared with the traditional one-step sintering. The finite element simulation of ceramics obtained by COMSOL was used further to reveal the functions of the different sintering conditions. When the optimum T1 was chosen, the average grain size decreased to 0.53 µm, with a simulated breakdown time of 0.78 s, the TCC was − 45.8% to 1.8% during the temperature range of − 30 to 85 °C and the BDS reached 165 ± 0.5 kV/cm, accompanied by a high dielectric constant (ε_r) of 6841 ± 103 and a low dielectric loss (tanδ) (0.51% ± 0.03%).

采用两步烧结法优化 BCTZ 基陶瓷的微观结构和介电性能

本研究采用两步烧结法制备了 (Ba, Ca)(Ti, Zr)O3 基介电陶瓷。详细研究了第一步烧结温度（T1）对微观形貌和介电性能的影响。两步烧结法能有效减小晶粒尺寸，形成均匀分布的微观结构。因此，与传统的一步烧结法相比，电容温度系数（TCC）和击穿强度（BDS）得到了明显改善。通过 COMSOL 获得的陶瓷有限元模拟进一步揭示了不同烧结条件的作用。当选择最佳 T1 时，平均晶粒尺寸减小到 0.53 µm，模拟击穿时间为 0.78 s，在 - 30 至 85 °C 的温度范围内，TCC 为 - 45.8% 至 1.8%，BDS 达到 165 ± 0.5 kV/cm，同时介电常数（εr）达到 6841 ± 103，介电损耗（tanδ）较低（0.51% ± 0.03%）。
