Abstract: Ba_0.96Ca_0.04Ti₂O₅ (BCT2) ceramics are synthesized by solid state sintering method with as-prepared BCT2 powders that is prepared via modified Pechini method. Effect of different sintering temperature (1050~1250 ℃) on phase structure and electrical properties of the BCT2 ceramics are fully investigated. The phase structure, fractured morphology, densification, and electrical properties of the BCT2 ceramics are tested by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), electron specific gravity balance and precision impedance analyzer, respectively. The results show that the crystallinity, densification, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of BCT2 ceramics are elevated with a certain increment of the sintering temperature. The optimum properties, i.e., ρ_r=96.64%, T_C=444.9 ℃, ε_m=619.3, and γ=0.429 of the BCT2 ceramics are obtained at a best sintering temperature of 1200 ℃.
