Low-Temperature Synthesis of Fully Crystallized Spherical BaTiO3 Particles by the Gel,Sol Method

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY, Issue 12 2004
Un-Yeon Hwang
The synthesis of spherical BaTiO3 particles was attempted by a new technique, the "gel,sol method," at 45°C. The (Ba,Ti) gel used as a starting material was prepared by aging mixtures of titanyl acylate with a barium acetate aqueous solution ([glacial acetic acid (AcOH)]/[titanium isopropoxide (TIP)] = 4, [barium acetate]/[TIP] = 1) at 45°C for 48 h. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) was used as a catalyst for the formation of BaTiO3. Powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD) results and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) measurements for the (Ba,Ti) gel showed that the gel was amorphous, but the spatial arrangement of barium and titanium in the (Ba,Ti) gel is similar to that in crystalline BaTiO3 particles. Fully crystallized spherical BaTiO3 powder with a particle size of 40,250 nm formed at the very low reaction temperature of 45°C. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the final particles formed via aggregation of the fine particles that seem to be the primary particles of bulk (Ba,Ti) gel. From the XRD, FT-IR, and Raman spectroscopy analysis, it was found that the crystal structure of the as-prepared particles continuously transformed from cubic to tetragonal as the calcination temperature increased, and high crystalline tetragonal BaTiO3 phase was obtained at 1000°C after 1 h of heat treatment.

Synthesis of BaTiO3 Particles with Tailored Size by Precipitation from Aqueous Solutions

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY, Issue 1 2004
Andrea Testinon
Well-defined and stoichiometric spherical particles of BaTiO3 of narrow size distribution were produced at 82° and 92°3C by precipitation from chloride solutions in a strong alkaline environment. The size of the particles can be tailored in the range from ,103 to 70,80 nm by increasing the barium concentration from ,0.07 to 0.7 mol/L. The particles are composed of tight aggregates resulting from the assembly of several nanocrystals. The size of the nanocrystals decreases from 200,300 to 30,40 nm by increasing reactant concentration. At low barium concentration (,0.07 mol/L at 82°3C, ,0.06 mol/L at 92°3C), formation of BaTiO3 is strongly slowed down and nonstoichiometric, Ti-rich powders are produced. Under these conditions, the particles have the tendency to develop a dendritic-like morphology. [source]


Dispersion of nanoscale BaTiO3 suspensions by a combination of chemical and mechanical grinding/mixing processes

JOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE, Issue 3 2007
Kuo-Liang Ying
Abstract The colloidal stability of aqueous nanometer- and micrometer-scale barium titanate (BaTiO3) utilizing poly (methacrylic acid) (PMAA-Na) and polyacrylamide/(,- N,N -dimethyl- N -acryloyloxyethyl)ammonium ethanate (PDAAE) was investigated. In addition to chemical dispersants, the effects of mechanical milling using either conventional ball milling or nanogrinding/-mixing on the dispersion of BaTiO3 suspensions were also studied. Characterization of the particle size distribution (d50), viscosity, and morphology of BaTiO3 particles in the suspensions revealed that a sole chemical dispersant or mechanical milling was insufficient to achieve nanometer-scale dispersion. The best dispersion results were obtained with a combination of PMAA-Na dispersant and nanogrinding/-mixing, which could provide sufficient electronic repulsive force and shear force to disperse the 80-nm BaTiO3 powders uniformly in the aqueous suspension. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of Nano-sized BaTiO3 Powders by the Rotary-Hydrothermal Process

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY, Issue 2009
Takashi Kubo
Nano-sized BaTiO3 powders with narrow size distribution and high tetragonality were attempted to be synthesized by the rotary-hydrothermal process in a water system as a novel technique, using a mixture of anatase-type TiO2 and Ba(OH)2 as starting material. The rotary-hydrothermal syntheses were performed under conditions with a rotary-speed of 20 revolutions per minute at 423,523 K for 3,96 h. Highly- and mono-dispersed BaTiO3 powders mainly composed of coarse-faceted particles with the tetragonal phase were successfully synthesized by controlling the conditions for rotary-hydrothermal treatments. TEM and TG results revealed that these coarse-faceted BaTiO3 particles contained very few structural defects such as hydroxyl content. Thus, the rotary-hydrothermal process was a useful method to synthesize very high-quality BaTiO3 particles, and the further control of various conditions of the rotary-hydrothermal treatment is expected to control the crystalline phase and microstructures of final BaTiO3 powders.

Preparation of Highly Dispersed Ultrafine Barium Titanate Powder by Using Microbial-Derived Surfactant

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY, Issue 12 2003
Hidehiro Kamiya
To uniformly disperse ultrafine BaTiO3 particles with a stoichiometric composition and several tens of nanometers in diameter to primary particles during the sol,gel synthesis process, a new aqueous surfactant with a high hydrophilic group density and special cis-structure was prepared from a microbial product and added to solution before the sol,gel synthesis reaction. Because of the rapid formation of large and porous aggregates which were 30,50 ,m in diameter in suspension without addition of this unique structural surfactant, the prepared ultrafine BaTiO3 particles caused rapid sedimentation in suspension. The addition of the surfactant in the range of 7.1 wt% for the synthesized BaTiO3 particles made it possible to decrease the size of the aggregates in suspension as well as the sedimentation velocity while maintaining the stoichiometric composition. The optimum additive content to obtain the minimum aggregate size of about 100,200 nm in diameter and the highest dispersion stability in suspension while maintaining the stoichiometric composition of prepared ultrafine BaTiO3 particles without other phases was determined at about 7.1 wt%. Because the excess addition of this surfactant at more than 8.5 wt% inhibited the uniform synthesis of BaTiO3 particles, an amorphous phase with a highly specific surface area and a BaCO3 phase formed in the synthesized particles.
