This application claims the priority benefit of China application serial no. 201911153484.2, filed on Nov. 22, 2019. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.


BACKGROUND
Technical Field

The disclosure belongs to a thermistor material, in particular to a low-B high-resistance wide temperature range high-temperature thermistor material and its preparation method and application. The thermistor material has an obvious negative temperature coefficient characteristic in the temperature range of 25° C.-1000° C., and is a new thermistor material suitable for manufacturing a wide temperature range high-temperature thermistor.


Description of Related Art

The temperature sensor has been widely used in household appliances, industrial machinery, medical equipment, aerospace, automobile and many other fields. Especially in the automotive industry, the high-temperature temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of automobile exhaust gas, thus improving combustion efficiency and optimizing gas emissions. At present, platinum resistance is mainly used for high temperature detection at home and abroad. It has a long history for measuring the temperature below 600° C. The development mainly focuses on thin and thick platinum films, that is, film resistance temperature detector with a layer of film on ceramic materials. After the latest improvement, the measurement temperature can reach up to 850° C. The platinum film temperature sensor relies on the linear characteristic of the resistance temperature to realize temperature measurement. When the temperature is lower than 500° C., it can be fully linearized. However, due to the characteristics of platinum metal materials, it is difficult to realize the linearization at high temperatures. In addition, in order to improve the sensitivity, it is necessary to use manufacturing technology to increase the size of the element, which makes the response time of the sensor increase with the size, resulting in the contradiction of performance improvement. Therefore, it is necessary to explore new sensitive materials with good electrical properties at high temperatures.


Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor with high sensitivity, fast response and small volume is considered as a potential high-temperature sensor instead of a platinum resistor. However, the traditional Mn—Co—Ni—O spinel thermistor materials are mainly used below 300° C., which brings a new challenge to the development of new high-temperature thermistor materials. The structure of pyrochlore is composed of a double cation coordination polyhedron, which has better adjustability and high temperature stability than spinel and perovskite. In recent years, complex oxide Ca—Ce—Nb—M—O (M is W or Mo) materials have excellent high temperature NTC performance and have a good application prospect in the field of NTC thermistor. However, the B value of Ca—Ce—Nb—Mo—O material is large (>5000 K), which can't meet the wide temperature range application, so it is necessary to reduce its B value to achieve wide temperature range application.


At present, the low-B high-resistance wide temperature range high-temperature thermistor material has a broad application prospect in the field of wide temperature range high-temperature measurement and control, and it is still in a blank slate in the field of the thermistor. Generally speaking, the higher the value of thermistor B is, the higher the resistivity is, and vice versa. Therefore, it is difficult to reduce the B value of the material and keep the resistivity unchanged in the field of manufacturing low-B high resistance wide temperature high temperature thermistor materials.
