Abstract

Traditional manganese-based thermistors operate above room temperature, which can not meet the demand for accurate temperature monitoring of military packaging in wide-temperature environments. Therefore, it is necessary to develop high-precision, wide-temperature-range thermistors for military packaging to promote its intelligentization. In this study, Fe elements were doped into the NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor with a Mn-Co-Ni ternary system by a specifically improved solid-phase method, and four groups of sensors with high sensitivity and excellent stability were fabricated. The results showed that the four groups of components had accurate phases and exhibited good NTC effects in a specific medium-low temperature range (-20-60 ℃). Among them, the Fe_0.6Ni_0.3Co_0.9Mn_1.2O₄ component (coded as A2) stood out with high precision and good temperature adaptability. Its thermosensitive constant B_25-50 value, a key indicator of reaction sensitivity, reached as high as 3 839.59 K, and it also had the advantage of low energy consumption due to its low room-temperature resistance (4.961 kΩ). A thermistor with excellent comprehensive electrical properties is successfully prepared. The doping of Fe elements into the Mn-Co-Ni ternary system significantly improves the electrical properties of the sensor. The device exhibits good sensitivity and stability in the specific temperature range, thus holding great application prospects in the field of intelligent environmental monitoring for military packaging.
