Abstract
This paper deals with the preparation of five oxalic precursors containing lead, hafnium, titanium and niobium with Pb(1-x/2)(NH4)(2)[(HfyTi1-Y)(1-x)N bxO(C2O4)(3)], dH(2)O as general formula [for each precursor y = 0.52 but x takes different values (0; 0.01; 0.025; 0.05; 0.075; 0.1)]. The pyrolysis of the complex was performed with a slow heating rate. The thermolysis lead s to the oxides which were characterized from the microstructural point of view (XRD) and grain size distribution. After the sintering, the ionic cond uction properties of the material were analysed.
