Abstract
Nickel manganese oxide (NiMn2O4) is a versatile mixed metal oxide with a range of potential applications across various fields. It belongs to the spinel structure family, characterized by a cubic crystal structure with specifically arranged cationic and anionic lattice sites. Nickel manganite is a ceramic material that can be produced in miniaturized form using various fabrication processes. This article aims to explore the suitability of this material for various applications, particularly in NTC thermistors. Thermistor materials are widely used in sensing applications in science, engineering, and technology. They are applied in time delay circuits, device protection, voltage regulation, speech volume control, testing equipment for ultra-high-frequency power, and detecting very small amounts of radiant energy. This review seeks to provide valuable insights into the synthesis strategies for nickel manganite, guiding researchers and experts by offering useful information on the appropriate methods for fabricating nickel manganite to meet the specific requirements of NTC thermistors in sensing applications. The article discusses in detail the various synthesis techniques of nickel manganite and how these techniques influence its structure and other properties.
期刊介绍:
While ceramics have traditionally been admired for their mechanical, chemical and thermal stability, their unique electrical, optical and magnetic properties have become of increasing importance in many key technologies including communications, energy conversion and storage, electronics and automation. Electroceramics benefit greatly from their versatility in properties including:
-insulating to metallic and fast ion conductivity
-piezo-, ferro-, and pyro-electricity
-electro- and nonlinear optical properties
-feromagnetism.
When combined with thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability, these properties often render them the materials of choice.
The Journal of Electroceramics is dedicated to providing a forum of discussion cutting across issues in electrical, optical, and magnetic ceramics. Driven by the need for miniaturization, cost, and enhanced functionality, the field of electroceramics is growing rapidly in many new directions. The Journal encourages discussions of resultant trends concerning silicon-electroceramic integration, nanotechnology, ceramic-polymer composites, grain boundary and defect engineering, etc.
