Abstract
Lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) was prepared by a sol-gel process. As one process, lead acetate, zirconium tetra-n-butoxide, and titanium tetra-iso-propoxide were used as raw materials. 2-methoxyethanol and diethanolamine were used as solvents. As another process, lead acetate, zirconyl nitrate, and titanium tetra-n-butoxide were used as raw materials. Distilled water, acetic acid, and tri-ethylene glycol were used as solvents. PZT were synthesized twelve ways on the basics to the two processes. Synthesized PZT by each had been dried for 24h at 338K. Dried samples had been sintered for 1h at 773K, 873K, and 1023K in air. The sintered samples were evaluated by X-ray analysis.
