摘要

The in situ formation of (Sr,Ca)14Cu24Ox(14:24AEC) phase in Bi-2212 precursor powders has long been recognized as crucial for enhancing Bi-2212 wires’ critical current density (Jc). However, the underlying generation mechanism of 14:24AEC has remained unclear. In this study, it is established for the first time that the in situ generation of 14:24AEC is governed by both the Sr/Ca ratio in the precursor powders and the heating atmosphere. When the Sr/Ca ratio ranges from 2.217 to 2.278, the 14:24AEC secondary phase is preferentially formed and more readily detected in Bi-2212 precursor powders. Furthermore, oxygen annealing significantly promotes the in situ formation of this phase. In contrast, when the Sr/Ca ratio exceeds 2.278, secondary phases such as Bi-2201 and Cu/CuO are more frequently observed. Notably, Bi-2212 wires fabricated from powders exhibiting exclusive in situ formation of the 14:24AEC phase exhibited the highest Jc at 4.2 K under self-field. This work presents a reliable approach to synthesize Bi-2212 precursor powders with selective in situ generation of the 14:24AEC phase, offering a promising pathway toward improving Jc and advancing the commercial viability of Bi-2212 wires.
