Preparation and study on performance of submicron nickel powder for multilayer chip positive temperature coefficient resistance

Base metal nickel is often used as the inner electrode in multilayer chip positive temperature coefficient resistance （PTCR）. The fine grain of ceramic powders and base metal nickel are necessary. This paper uses reducing hydrazine to gain submicron nickel powder whose diameter was 200-300 nm through adjusting the consumption of nucleating agent PVP properly. The submicron nickel powder could disperse well and was fit for co--fired of multilayer chip PTCR. It analyes the submicron nickel powder through x-ray Diffraction （XRD） and calculates the diameter of nickel by PDF cards. Using XRD analyses it obtains several conclusions： If the molar ratio of hydrazine hydrate and nickel sulfate is kept to be a constant, when enlarging the molar ratio of NaOH/Ni^2＋, the diameter of nickel powder would become smaller. When the temperature in the experiment raises to 70-80 ℃, nickel powder becomes smaller too. And if the molar ratio of NaOH/Ni2＋ is 4, when molar ratio of （C2H5O）2/Ni^2＋ increases, the diameter of nickel would reduce. Results from viewing the powders by optical microscope should be the fact that the electrode made by submicron nickel powder has a better formation and compactness. Furthermore, the sheet resistance testing shows that the electrode made by submicron nickel is smaller than that made by micron nickel.

Characterization of the BaBiO_3-doped BaTiO_3 positive temperature coefficient of a resistivity ceramic using impedance spectroscopy with T_c=155℃

BaBiO3-doped BaTiO3 （BB-BT） ceramic, as a candidate for lead-free positive temperature coefficient of resistivity （PTCR） materials with a higher Curie temperature, has been synthesized in air by a conventional sintering technique. The temperature dependence of resistivity shows that the phase transition of the PTC thermistor ceramic occurs at the Curie temperature, Tc = 155℃, which is higher than that of BaTiO3 （≤ 130 ℃）. Analysis of ac impedance data using complex impedance spectroscopy gives the alternate current （AC） resistance of the PTCR ceramic. By additional use of the complex electric modulus formalism to analyse the same data, the inhomogeneous nature of the ceramic may be unveiled. The impedance spectra reveal that the grain resistance of the BB-BT sample is slightly influenced by the increase of temperature, indicating that the increase in overall resistivity is entirely due to a grain-boundary effect. Based on the dependence of the extent to which the peaks of the imaginary part of electric modulus and impedance are matched on frequency, the conduction mechanism is also discussed for a BB-BT ceramic system.

Improvement of the electrical resistivity of epoxy resin at elevated temperature by adding a positive temperature coefficient BaTiO3-based compound

The DC electrical resistivity-temperature characteristic is an important property for insulating materials to operate at a high stress level.In order to improve the DC electrical resistivity at elevated temperature in a targeted way,a positive temperature coefficient(PTC)material(Ba Ti O3-based compound(BT60))was selected as the filler in this paper,whose electrical resistivity has a PTC effect when the temperature exceeds its Curie temperature.The BT60 was treated with hydrogen peroxide and(3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane.Epoxy composites with different loadings of BT60 fillers(0 wt%,0.5 wt%,and 2 wt%of epoxy)were prepared,denoted as EP-0,EP-0.5,and EP-2.It was shown that BT60 was able to maintain the DC breakdown strength when its loading was less than 2 wt%of epoxy.As the temperature exceeds 60°C,BT60 will compensate for the negative temperature coefficient effect of epoxy resin to some extent.The electrical resistivity of EP-2 was improved by 55%compared with that of neat epoxy at 90°C.It was found that the potential barrier at the grain boundary of BT60 and the deep traps in the interface between BT60 and the epoxy resin hinder the migration of carriers and thus increase the electrical resistivity of epoxy composite.

Positive temperature coefficient of resistivity effects of semiconducting (Bi(1/2)Na(1/2)) TiO_3-CaTiO_3-BaTiO_3 ceramics sintered in air atmosphere

Y^3＋-doped （Bi 1/2 Na 1/2） TiO 3-CaTiO 3-BaTiO 3 （BNCBT） positive temperature coefficient of resistivity （PTCR） ceramics sintered in air atmosphere were investigated in this study. （Bi 1/2 Na 1/2） TiO 3 （BNT） component can remarkably increase the onset temperature T c of PTCR ceramics with the expense of the resistivity R 25 increase. CaTiO 3 （9–27 mol%） component can decrease the resistivity, and adjust the effects of BNT phase on the T c point. For the sample containing 3 mol% CaTiO 3 , T c raises from 122 ℃ to 153 ℃ when only 0.6 mol% BNT added, while for the ones with higher CaTiO 3 content （9–27 mol%）, T c is only increased by a rate of 8–9℃/1.0 mol% BNT. The effects of BNT and CaTiO 3 components on R25/Rmin （negative temperature coefficient effect） are also discussed.

Study on positive temperature coefficient of resistivity of co-doped BaTiO_3 with Curie temperature in room temperature region

As a temperature self-regulating heater material, the doped BaTiO_3 exhibits an attractive application perspective in the thermal management of electrical devices. However, the high Curie temperature does not meet the requirement in the thermal control application. In this work,(Ba_(0.997-x)Ce_(0.003)Sr_x)(TiNb_(0.002))O_3(x=0.2, 0.3, 0.35, abbreviated as BCSTNs) ceramics were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The purpose of doping different content of strontium is to shift the Curie temperature of BaTiO_3-based ceramic to the ambient temperature region, maintaining excellent PT_C effect and low room-temperature resistivity by codoped cation ions in Ba-and Ti-site. The influences of sintering temperature and soak time on the microstructure as well as electrical properties of BCSTNs ceramics have been studied. The X-ray diffraction reveals that the composition with x=0.35 exhibits the coexistence of tetragonal and cubic lattice symmetries, confirmed by the Rietveld structure refinement. The dense microstructure with average grain sizes 0.84–7.87 μm was observed for BCSTN ceramics. Temperature-resistivity measurements demonstrate that T_C of the ceramics with x=0.35 shifted to the room temperature region. Additionally, the BCSTN ceramic with heavy doping Sr exhibits relative low room-temperature resistivity and the resistance jump greater than 2.0 orders of magnitude.

PTC/NTC Behavior of PVDF Composites Filled with GF and CF

Conductive polyvinylidene fluoride（PVDF）matrix composites filled with graphited fiber（GF）or carbon fiber（CF）were prepared by the melt-mixing method.The breakage and length distribution of the fibers in the polymer matrix were studied by scanning electron microscope（SEM）and optical microscope（OM）observations,respectively. The differences in the positive temperature coefficient（PTC）effects of the composites were mainly attributed to inter-fiber contact ability.The elimination of the negative temperature coefficient（NTC）effect for CF/PVDF composite was because of an increase in the viscosity of the polymer matrix.With the same filler content,CF could be more effective,to eliminate the NTC effect when compared with GF.Addition of 2%CF（mass fraction）in the PVDF composite with 7%GF（mass fraction）could effectively eliminate the NTC phenomenon of the composite.

Studies on preparation and thermal control behavior of hybrid fillers/binary-polymer composites with positive temperature coefficient characteristic

Conductive polymer composites(CPCs) as the thermo-sensitive materials have attracted much attention in thermal control field due to their reliable self-regulating behaviors, high efficiency and mechanical flexibility. However, the development of these materials needs to manage the normal conflicting requirements, such as effective heating performance and good self-regulating capability. This paper presents a series of novel CPCs material having different amounts of hybrid fillers of multi-walled carbon nanotubes(CNTs) and carbon black(CB). The positive temperature coefficient intensity is enhanced to 105.2, and the roomtemperature resistivity is optimized to 320 ? cm. Besides, the Curie temperatures are regulated to room-temperature range by incorporating the low-melting-point blend matrix into the poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate)/CNTs/CB composite. The thermalcontrol experiment demonstrates that CPCs-heating elements can adjust the equilibrium temperature of controlled equipment near their Curie temperatures without any control methods. Compared with the ordinary resistor, the CPCs materials have the remarkable adaptive thermal control behavior. Furthermore, the temperature control capability is particularly prominent in the changing environment temperature. The CPCs as a safe and reliable adaptive heating element is potential to replace the conventional active thermal control means.

A positive-temperature-coefficient electrode with thermal protection mechanism for rechargeable lithium batteries

A new positive-temperature-coefficient(PTC) material was prepared simply by blending of conductive Super P carbon black(CB) with insulating poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) polymer matrix,which was empolyed as a coating layer on the aluminium foil substrate to fabricate a sandwiched Al/PTC/LiCoO2 cathode.The experimental results from cyclic voltammetry,charge-discharge measurements and impedance spectroscopy demonstrated that the PTC electrode has a normal electrochemical performance at ambient temperature,but shows an enormous increase in the resistance at the temperature range of 80?120℃.This PTC behavior greatly restrains the reaction current passing through the electrode at elevated temperatures,capable of acting as a self-actuating safety mechanism to prevent the battery from thermal runaway.

低电阻率陶瓷基PTC材料温控特性研究

常温居里点陶瓷基正温度系数材料在常温段热控领域具有广阔应用前景,但其存在低温区电阻率过大的问题。基于此,以Ba_(0.64)Sr_(0.36)TiO_(3)为基体并采用固相烧结工艺,研制出低温区电阻率为800Ω·cm的常温居里点PTC材料,分别利用实验和仿真手段对其温控性能进行研究。结果表明:在低温、低电压工况下,该材料可将受控体温度迅速维持在25.6℃附近,而其他加热元件控制温度均偏离常温。该材料热控响应时间少于其他加热元件的50%。在-5~5℃的周期性变化环境中,该材料控温波动幅度最小,只有2.1℃。在真实低温环境下,该材料能将受控体温度快速升至约22.3℃,在12 h内温度波动不到2℃,有效抑制了外界环境对热控过程的干扰。

Enhanced Reproducibility of Positive Temperature Coefficient Effect of CB/HDPE/PVDF Composites with the Addition of Ionic Liquid

Developing an effective method for improving the reproducibility of positive temperature coefficient(PTC)effect is of great significance for large-scale application of polymer based PTC composites,owing to its contribution to the security and reliability.Herein,we developed a carbon black(CB)/high density polyethylene(HDPE)/poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)composite with outstanding PTC reproducibility,by incorporating 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide([OMIm][NTf2])into the composite.After multiple repeated temperature cycles,the PTC performance of as-prepared material keeps almost unchanged and the varition of resistance at room temperature is less than 7%.Our studies revealed that[OMIm][NTf2]contributes to the improvement of PTC reproducibility in two ways:(i)it acts as an efficient plasticizer for refining the co-continuous phase morphology of HDPE/PVDE blends;(ii)it inhibits the crystallization of PVDF through the dilution effect,leading to more overlaps of the volume shrinkage process of HDPE and PVDF melt which results in the decrease of interface gap between HDPE and PVDF.This study demonstrated that ionic liquids as the multifunctional agents have great potential for improving the reproducibility in the application of the binary polymer based PTC composites.
