Lead-free (Bi1/2Na1/2)0.10Ba0.90TiO3ceramics with 3.5 mol% CaO addition and positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) behavior were prepared by the mixed-oxide route. Nanocrystalline TiO2powder is required as raw material to allow complete phase formation during calcination at 800 °C. Samples were sintered at T < 1250 °C in air to give thermistor ceramics with low room-temperature resistance and significant rise of resistivity at Tc= 155 °C. The microstructure formation and electrical properties are sensitive to silica addition. Dense PTCR thermistor ceramics with low room-temperature resistivity ρRT= 80 Ωcm and resistivity change ρmax/ρminover two orders of magnitude at the Curie temperature were obtained after sintering in air with 0.05 wt% SiO2sintering additive.
