Abstract:
Effect of co-doping V
5+-Sr
2+ on the properties of TiO
2 varistors ceramic was studied. V
5+-Sr
2+ co-doped TiO
2 samples were prepared by adopting the solid phase sintering method. XRD and SEM were carried out to measured the microstructure and chemical composition of V
5+-Sr
2+ co-doping TiO
2. Based on different sintering temperatures and V
5+-Sr
2+ co-doping content, electrical properties of V
5+-Sr
2+ were tested out by using the parameters instrument. The results show that secondary phase is observed in V
5+-Sr
2+ doped TiO
2 samples when the V
2O
5 doped amount is 0.35 mol%. With SrCO
3 doping content and sintering temperature increasing, varistor voltage and nonlinear coefficient of V
5+-Sr
2+ co-doped TiO
2 samples present different trends to change. 0.5 mol% Sr
2+ doped samples sintered at 1 300℃ possess the optimal properties with a voltage of 16.3 V/mm and a nonlinear coefficient of 5.6.
