Preparation, characterization and colossal permittivity of (La + Nb) co-doped TiO2 ceramics
摘要
High-permittivity dielectric materials are essential for advancing the miniaturization of electronic components and developing high-capacity systems. However, it is often difficult to achieve both a high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss, which hinders their practical application. In this study, a novel (La + Nb) co-doped TiO₂ (LNTO) ceramic shows a colossal dielectric constant exceeding 104 and a reasonably low dielectric loss (< 0.06) at 1kHz. Excellent stability is maintained across a broad temperature (30–200 °C) and frequency (102–106 Hz) range for the x = 0.04 ceramic. Impedance spectroscopy and I-V results revealed that the colossal dielectric characteristics of LNTO were primarily driven by the internal barrier layer capacitance model. Contributions from electrode effects are confined to the low-frequency region and become significant only at elevated temperatures.
