Abstract: | Nanocrystalline niobium doped lead zirconate titanate powders (PZTN) were prepared by a citrate-nitrate sol-gel combustion
technique. The technique involves three steps: preparation of stable and homogeneous sol, formation of gel, combustion of
gel. The sol was prepared by mixing stable solutions of Zr-oxynitrate, Pb-citrate, Nb- and Ti-peroxo-citrate precursors. The
heat induced auto ignition leads to the decomposition of precursors and formation of pure perovskite phase after soaking at
400∘C for 4 h. The particles were found to be irregular aggregates of nanosized primary particles (crystallite size about 30 nm).
Different milling treatments were performed in order to improve the sinterability. Ball milled (100 h with PEG) powders were
sintered at 1100∘C for 2 h in air showing 97% relative density at a densification T 100∘C lower than following the conventional mixed oxide route. The stoichiometry of the system was determined at each stage of
the process and no fluctuation was detected. |
