무연 BaTiO3-(Bi0.5K0.5)TiO3 PTCR 세라믹과 PTCR 특성에 미치는 Nb2O5의 효과
Lead-free BaTiO3-(Bi0.5K0.5)TiO3 PTCR Ceramics and Effects of Nb2O5 on Its PTCR Characteristics
E-mail:
Positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) characteristics of (1-x)BaTiO3-x(Bi0.5K0.5)TiO3 ceramics doped with Nb2O5 were investigated in order to develop the Pb-free PTC thermistor available at high temperatures of > 120oC. The PTCR characteristics appearing in the (Bi0.5Ki0.5)TiO3 (< 5 mol%) incorporated BaTiO3 ceramics, which might be mainly due to Bi+3 ions substituting for Ba+2 sites. The 0.99BaTiO3- 0.01(Bi0.5K0.5)TiO3 ceramics showed good PTCR characteristics of a low resistivity at room temperature (ρr) of 31 Ω · cm, a high ρmax/ρmin ratio of 5.38 × 103, and a high resistivity temperature factor (α) of 17.8%/oC. The addition of Nb2O5 to 0.99BaTiO3-0.01(Bi0.5K0.5)TiO3 ceramics further improved the PTCR characteristics. Especially, 0.025 mol% Nb2O5 doped 0.99BaTiO3-0.01(Bi0.5K0.5)TiO3 ceramics exhibited a significantly increased ρmax/ρmin ratio of 8.7 × 103 and a high α of 18.6%/oC, along with a high Tc of 148oC despite a slightly increased ρr of 39 Ω · cm.
