Low temperature synthesis of lead zirconate titanate powder by hydroxide co-precipitation
A method to synthesize lead zirconate titanate (Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3) by co-precipitation in aqueous medium is described. The as-prepared powders were heat-treated at 550 and 700C. DTA, TG and XRD were employed to follow and characterize the phase evolution. The results show that mono-phase, tetragonal Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 powder can be synthesized at considerably low temperature.
