Abstract
(superscript and subscript cannot be allowed.) |
An environmentally-friendly synthesis route and low-cost starting materials are more appropriate for the production of ceramic materials at the industry level. With this concern we prepared the La2/3Cu3Ti4O12(LCTO), which is isostructural of CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO), using the low-cost TiO2 instead of a high-cost of titanium source (titanium isopropoxide or titanium chloride) using a low-cost wet-chemical route. Although, there are lots of synthetic methods reported for LCTO fabrication in terms of duration, cheap reagents, energy consumption, feasibility, etc. The present method is far better than the others. The prepared ceramic samples were sintered at 1050 ◦ C/12 h and studied their structural, morphology and impedance, and modulus studies for further confirmation. The prepared LCTO ceramic shows the pure phase with the cubic type of morphology. |
