Abstract

In recent years, core-shell structures have attracted much attention for their potential in tuning the functional properties of materials and have become an effective method for preparing high-performance materials. In this work, core-shell structured 0.1LaMnO3@0.9(Ba0.5Sr0.5)TiO3 nanoparticles were fabricated by sol-gel method and dense ceramics were prepared at different sintering temperatures. The phase composition, morphology, chemical state and electrical properties were systematically investigated. Structural analysis confirmed the formation of 0.1LaMnO3@0.9(Ba0.5Sr0.5)TiO3 core-shell nanostructures. The results show that the prepared samples exhibit typical negative temperature coefficient characteristics in the range of 50–1000 °C, which is derived from the effect of carrier pairs and oxygen vacancies on the electrical properties. This study provides new insights from structure to material into guiding the development and design of advanced thermistor materials for temperature sensing applications.
