Abstract

Tetragonal barium titanate (BaTiO3) particles were synthesized at temperature as low as 220 °C through glycothermal reaction by using Ba(OH)2·8H2O and amorphous titanium hydrous gel as precursors and 1,4-butanediol and water as solvent. XRD, DSC and Raman data support that glycothermal processing method provides a simple low-temperature route for producing tetragonal BaTiO3 nanoparticles without alkaline mineralizers. It is also demonstrated that the size and shape of BaTiO 3 particles can be controlled by reaction conditions such as reaction temperature and various volume ratio of 1,4-butanediol/water. This processing method can fabricate BaTiO3 powders with narrow size distribution and low aggregation. In addition, BaTiO3 nanopowder with a Ba/Ti atomic ratio of 1.000±0.003 can be obtained in a reproducible manner with glycothermal process.
