Abstract

Barium titanate (BaTiO3) single-crystalline nanoparticles have been prepared via high temperature mixing method (HTMM) under hydrothermal conditions. The crystallized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), filed emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Raman spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The BaTiO 3 nanoparticles can be prepared at dilute KOH as compared with the method mixed at room temperature. The results show that the stoichiometric BaTiO3 nanoparticles were synthesized at [Ba/Ti]solution = 1. The high temperature will significantly narrow the solubility difference between the barium and titanium sources and leads to a burst nucleation from the solution. The defect mechanism is used to illustrate the time-dependent transformation from cubic to tetragonal phase.
