Electrically insulating grain boundary (GB) and semi-conducting grain interior areas were characterized by impedance spectroscopy to monitor the evolution of the IBLC structure with increasing sintering temperature TS (975–1100 °C). The intrinsic bulk and GB permittivity increased by factors of ≈2 and 300, respectively and the bulk resistivity decreased by a factor of ≈103. These trends were accompanied by increased Cu segregation from the CCTO ceramics as detected by scanning electron microscopy and quantitative energy dispersive analysis of X-rays. The chemical changes due to possible Cu-loss in CCTO ceramics with increasing TS are small and beyond the detection limits of X-ray absorption spectroscopy near Cu and Ti K-edges and Raman Spectroscopy.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationaljournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jeurceramsoc.2012.03.040open access538.9Grain boundariesDielectric propertiesChemical propertiesPerovskitesCapacitorsQuímica inorgánica (Química)MaterialesFísica del estado sólido2210.28 Química del Estado Sólido2303 Química Inorgánica
