Fine powders of lead zirconate titanate [Pb(Zr₀.₅₂Ti₀.₄₈)O₃, PZT] were prepared via a nitrate route by coprecipitation and freeze-drying processes. Lead nitrate, zirconium n-propoxide and titanium isopropoxide were used as starting materials. Ammonia solution, nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide were used to optimize the conditions for the preparation of PZT. The dried powders were calcined and characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. Gravimetric analysis and atomic absorption spectrophotometry were performed. Perovskite PZT can be obtained at temperatures above 600 °C. PZT powders were pressed and sintered. XRD and SEM were used to characterized PZT ceramics.
