As a pore precursor, carbon black with different content of 0 to 60 vol% were added to (Ba,Sr) powder. Porous (Ba,Sr) ceramics were prepared by pressureless sintering at for 1h under air. Effects of carbon black content on the microstructure and PTCR characteristics of porous (Ba,Sr) ceramics were investigated. The porosity of porous (Ba,Sr) ceramics increased from 6.97% to 18.22% and the grain size slightly decreased from to with increasing carbon black contents. PTCR jump of the (Ba,Sr) ceramics prepared by adding carbon black was more than , and slightly increased with increasing carbon black. The PTCR jump in the (Ba,Sr) ceramics prepared by adding 40 vol% carbon black showed an excellent value of , which was above two times higher than that in (Ba,Sr) ceramics. These results correspond with Heywang model for the explanation of PTCR effect in (Ba,Sr) ceramics. It was considered that carbon black is an effective additive for preparing porous based ceramics. It is believed that newly prepared (Ba,Sr) cermics can be used for PTC thermistor.
