Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-energy-storage dielectric ceramic capacitors, specifically to SrTi 1-0.5x Mn x Preparation method of O3 ceramic materials with large dielectric constant, low dielectric loss and frequency stability. Background Technology

[0002] Dielectric constant greater than 10 4 Materials with high dielectric constants are defined as materials with giant dielectric constants. These materials are the core foundation supporting the miniaturization and high precision of electronic devices, and their performance directly determines the integration density and reliability of the devices. Therefore, developing dielectric materials that combine giant dielectric properties, low dielectric loss, and excellent frequency stability has become a key research direction in the field of electronic materials. Currently reported high dielectric materials (such as BaTiO3, CaCu3Ti4O3, etc.) 12 While materials such as NiO and TiO2 can achieve certain high dielectric properties, they generally have significant drawbacks: high dielectric loss leads to serious energy waste, and poor frequency stability results in drastic fluctuations in dielectric properties over a wide frequency range, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-end electronic devices.

[0003] Among numerous candidate systems, SrTiO3 (ST)-based materials are widely recognized as ideal carriers for achieving high-performance giant dielectric properties due to their superior dielectric response stability over a wide temperature and frequency range. However, existing technologies face a core bottleneck: increasing the dielectric constant of ST-based ceramics to 10... 4 When the dielectric strength reaches the level of giant dielectric (i.e., the standard of giant dielectric is reached), it is often accompanied by a significant deterioration in frequency stability and a further increase in dielectric loss. These three factors are difficult to balance and seriously limit its promotion and application in practical scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for obtaining ultra-high giant dielectric constant (γ) under sintering conditions in a non-hydrogen environment. r >1.5×10 4 ) and low dielectric loss (tan δ Ceramic materials with a molecular weight of < 0.08 have a simple preparation process, low material cost, safe process, and are environmentally friendly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A high dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, and excellent frequency stability ST-based ceramic material is characterized by the following stoichiometric formula: SrTi 1-0.5x Mn x O3, x =0, 0.005, 0.010, 0.015. The dielectric constant of this material is higher than 10. 4(Meets the giant dielectric standard), dielectric loss is less than 0.08, and dielectric performance remains stable over a wide frequency range, achieving a synergistic balance of the three core performance characteristics.

[0006] Furthermore, the preparation method of the aforementioned ST-based ceramic material with giant dielectric, low loss, and excellent frequency stability includes the following steps: Step 1: Based on the stoichiometric formula SrTi 1-0.5x Mn x O3 ( x =0, 0.005, 0.010, 0.015 (representing the molar doping amount of Mn), weigh out the corresponding masses of SrCO3, TiO2 and MnO2, mix, ball mill and dry to obtain a uniform initial mixture A, which lays the foundation for the realization of the material's giant dielectric properties, low loss and frequency stability.

[0007] Step 2: After grinding and pressing mixture A into blocks, calcinate them in air at 1000-1200 °C for 2 to 4 hours. The resulting calcined blocks are then crushed, wet-milled, dried, and sieved through a 120-mesh sieve to obtain SrTi. 1-0.5x Mn x The powder with O3 as the main crystalline phase is reserved for later use.

Nitrogen atmosphere sintering can avoid performance fluctuations caused by reducing atmosphere, and the precisely controlled sintering temperature range can optimize the microstructure of the material, helping to achieve the synergistic effect of huge dielectric, low loss and frequency stability.

[0009] The complete batching for ball milling in step 1: Zirconia grinding balls, deionized water and materials are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:5:(0.8~1.2) and then ball milled. The resulting slurry is dried at 75~100℃ for 16~24 hours.

[0011] The pressing process in step 3 involves hand-pressing the blank using a mold followed by cold isostatic pressing. The pressure is maintained at 200-220 MPa for 4 minutes, then at 190 MPa for another 4 minutes, and finally released at a rate of 40 MPa / min.

[0012] Furthermore, after polishing and cleaning the sintered ceramic sample, silver paste was applied to its surface and sintered to form an electrode, ultimately producing SrTi with high dielectric properties. 1-0.5x Mn x O3-based ceramic materials.

[0013] Furthermore, the SrTi 1-0.5x Mn x The sintering conditions for the O3 ceramic-based ceramic material with a large dielectric constant and low dielectric loss coated with a silver electrode were set as follows: holding at a temperature of 650-750 ℃ ​​for 20-30 minutes.

[0014] And, SrTi prepared by the above method 1-0.5x Mn x O3 ceramic-based ceramic materials with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: SrTi prepared in this invention 1-0.5x Mn x O3-based ceramic materials achieve a synergistic balance of giant dielectric constant, low loss, and excellent frequency stability: dielectric constant is higher than 10. 4 It meets the core standards of giant dielectric materials, with outstanding charge storage capacity; dielectric loss is less than 0.08, energy loss is precisely controlled, and operating efficiency is excellent; moreover, it maintains stable dielectric performance over a wide frequency range, effectively avoiding the pain point of poor frequency adaptability of traditional high dielectric materials, and fully meeting the stringent requirements of high-end applications for performance consistency.

[0016] The material's preparation process is simple and controllable, with low raw material costs. Furthermore, the entire process utilizes a nitrogen atmosphere for sintering, completely avoiding the safety risks associated with reducing atmospheres and aligning with green and environmentally friendly production principles. While possessing three core dielectric advantages, it also boasts significant cost advantages, demonstrating strong technical adaptability and market competitiveness in high-end electronic components and other industrial sectors, indicating a very broad application prospect.
