The microstructure and positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) characteristics of 0.1 mol%Na2Ti6O13 doped 0.94BaTiO3-0.06(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 (BBNT-NT001) ceramics sintered at various temperatures from 1200oC to 1350oC were investigated in order to develop eco-friendly PTCR thermistors with a high Curie temperature (TC). Resulting thermistors showed a perovskite structure with a tetragonal symmetry. When sintered at 1200oC, the specimen had a uniform microstructure with small grains. However, abnormally grown grains started to appear at 1250oC and a homogeneous microstructure with large grains was exhibited when the sintering temperature reached 1325oC. When the temperature exceeded 1325oC, the grain growth was inhibited due to the numerous nucleation sites generated at the extremely high temperature. It is considered that Na2Ti6O13 is responsible for the grain growth of the 0.94BaTiO3-0.06(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 ceramics by forming a liquid phase during the sintering at around 1300oC. The grain growth of the BBNT-NT001 ceramics was significantly correlated with a decrease of resistivity. All the specimens were observed to have PTCR characteristics except for the sample sintered at 1200oC. The BBNT-NT001 ceramics had significantly decreased nrt and increased resistivity jump with increasing sintering temperature at from 1200oC to 1325oC. Especially, the BBNT-NT001 ceramics sintered at 1325oC exhibited superior PTCR characteristics of low resistivity at room temperature (122 Ω·cm), high resistivity jump (1.28 × 104), high resistivity temperature factor (20.4%/oC), and a high Tc of 157.9oC.
