Abstract

CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) ceramics was fabricated by solid,citrate,urea and glycine methods. The major goal is to assess the effects of synthesis techniques on the structural and electrical properties of the material. Independently of the synthesis method, X-ray diffraction XRD results confirmed presence of the cubic structure main phase with space group Im \(\overline{3 }\). The average grain size of the sample CCTO varied according to the synthesis process. The surface morphology of the composite sintered at 1100 °C for 12 h obtained by scanning electron microscopy analysis indicates the evolution of large and small grains with a bimodal distribution. A high dielectric constants (ε′ ~ 104) accompanied fortunately by a lowering loss tangent ( tanδ < 0.1) was measured at room temperature in the 102 Hz- 107 Hz frequency range in all ceramics. Ceramics elaborated by the citrate method show a very interesting dielectric response, namely a relatively high dielectric constant ε' (6.735 × 104 at 1 kHz) and a low dielectric loss tanδ (0.07 at 1 kHz).In addition, the temperature stability of the dielectric constant also improved by solid, urea and glycine methods. The fits of impedance complex spectroscopy data, shows that the resistance of grain is lower than resistance of grain boundaries confirming the internal barrier layer capacitor model. This mechanism corresponds to the heterogeneous dielectric with semiconductor grains and insulating grain boundaries.
