Synthesis of (1 − x)Ca2/5Sm2/5TiO3–xLi1/2Nd1/2TiO3 ceramic powder via ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid precursor

(1 − x)Ca2/5Sm2/5TiO3–xLi1/2Nd1/2TiO3 (CSLNT) ceramic powder was prepared by a liquid mixing method using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as the chelating agent. TG, DTA, XRD and TEM characterized the precursors and derived oxide powders. When x = 0.3, perovskite CSLNT was synthesized at 1000 °C for 3 h in air. The CSLNT (x = 0.3) ceramics sintered at 1200 °C for 3 h show excellent microwave dielectric properties of ɛr = 99, Qf = 6200 GHz and τf = 9 × 10−6 °C−1.
