摘要

This study systematically investigated the effect of copper (Cu) substitution on the sintering behavior, crystal structure, microstructure, densification, and electrical properties of La0.5Ba0.5Co1-yCuyO3 (0.0 ≤ y ≤ 0.4, LBCCO) ceramics using the solid-state reaction method. Comprehensive characterization via heating microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the DC two-probe method revealed that Cu substitution effectively lowers the densification temperature but concurrently reduces the electrical conductivity. Excessive doping (y > 0.2) introduced a secondary La3Ba3Cu6O14 phase. To evaluate their application potential, these compositions were formulated into thick-film resistor pastes with lead-borosilicate glass for low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. Analysis indicated that the thick-film sheet resistance was largely independent of Cu content, with La0.5Ba0.5CoO3 and BaPO3 identified as the primary phases. These results demonstrate the potential of the LBCCO system as a cost-effective alternative to precious ruthenium-based materials for LTCC resistor applications.
