Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox (Bi-2212) precursor powders were synthesized by the oxalate freeze drying (OFD) method, which could shorten processing steps and improve fabrication efficiency. The powders with large surface area and small particle size were beneficial for the rapid and homogeneous formation of Bi-2212. The high engineering critical current densities and critical current densities obtained in Bi-2212 wires indicated the potential of OFD method for mass production of high performance Bi-2212 wires.
Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox (Bi-2212) precursor powders were synthesized by the oxalate freeze drying (OFD) method. In comparison with the traditional method, the novel method could shorten the processing steps and thus improve the fabrication efficiency of precursor powder. The phase, microstructure and superconducting properties of Bi2212 precursor powders and wires were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and four-probe method, respectively. The thermal behavior, surface area and particle size of powders were also discussed. The results indicated that large surface area and small particle size might improve the reactivity and uniformity of powders. These properties were beneficial for the rapid and homogeneous formation of Bi-2212. High-purity crystallized Bi-2212 powders without Bi-2201 and alkaline-earth cuprates phases could be achieved. Furthermore, multi-filamentary Bi-2212 wires with OFD powders showed good microstructures without noticeable pores and large secondary particles. Therefore, high engineering critical current densities (J(e)) of 1619 A/mm(2) and critical current densities (J(c)) of 7039 A/mm(2) were obtained in Bi-2212 wires at 4.2K, self field. It indicated that the oxalate freeze drying method would be a potential candidate for the mass production of high performance Bi-2212 wires.
