Acetoin was used as chelating agent to replace the highly toxic methoxyethanol used in previous formulations. This route simplified the chemical processing of PZT-based solutions. Powders were completely crystallized by about 450°C and contained the ferroelectric perovskite single phase. The firing temperature and time were to be the most important variables. Metallic lead formed only when excess Pb was incorporated. The precursor and the heat-treated powders have been characterized by using thermal analysis and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) studies. The average particle size, as measured from X-ray line broadening, was ∼35nm.
