研究目的
To study the effect of niobium doping on the structural and electrical properties of Ba0.97La0.02Ti1-xNb4x/5O3 ceramics synthesized by the molten-salt method, focusing on phase structure, impedance behavior, and conductivity mechanisms.
研究成果
Ba0.97La0.02Ti1-xNb4x/5O3 ceramics were successfully synthesized with a tetragonal perovskite structure. Nb doping decreased impedance and conductivity, indicating increased space-charge accumulation and short-range charge carrier motion. The presence of Warburg impedance and non-Debye relaxation were confirmed, with hopping conduction between neighboring sites.
研究不足
The study is limited to room temperature measurements and specific Nb concentrations (x=0 and 0.05). The molten-salt method may introduce impurities, and the impedance analysis assumes certain equivalent circuit models that might not capture all material behaviors.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used the molten-salt reaction method for synthesis, with complex impedance spectroscopy (CIS) for electrical property analysis. Rietveld refinement was applied to XRD data for structural analysis.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples with x=0 and 0.05 were prepared using high-purity powders (BaCO3, TiO2, NbCl5, LaCH3CO2) in stoichiometric ratios.
3:05 were prepared using high-purity powders (BaCO3, TiO2, NbCl5, LaCH3CO2) in stoichiometric ratios.
List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included an alumina crucible for heating, PANalytical X’Pert Pro diffractometer for XRD, scanning electron microscope (SEM) for microstructure, and Agilent 4294A impedance analyzer for CIS.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Powders were mixed, heated at 800°C for 24h, cooled, washed, filtered, dried, pressed into pellets, and sintered at 800°C for 24h. XRD and SEM were performed, and impedance measurements were conducted from 1Hz to 5MHz at room temperature.
5:4h. XRD and SEM were performed, and impedance measurements were conducted from 1Hz to 5MHz at room temperature.
Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: Data were analyzed using FullProf for Rietveld refinement, EIS spectra analyzer for equivalent circuit fitting, and Jonscher’s universal power law for conductivity fitting.
