Hydrothermal synthesis of tetragonal barium titanate nanopowders under moderate conditions

Surfactant-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of hydroxyapatite nanopowders.

Rod-like hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (n-HAp) with a highly ordered nanostructure were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis from calcium chloride, and phosphoric acid, as calcium and phosphorus sources, respectively. Various surfactant families such as cationic (CTAB), anionic (SDS) and nonionic (Triton X-100) were used as regulators of the nucleation and crystal growth. The synthesized nanopowde...

An XPS Investigation of Hydrothermal and Commercial Barium Titanate Powders

Hydrothermal and commercial barium titanate powders were examined for undesirable impurity phases. Compositional differences in the powder were evaluated using x-ray diffraction ( XRD ), x-ray fluorescence ( XRF ), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A brium-rich impurity phase, virtually undetectable by XRD, was detected via XPS. Barium impurity phase peaks were detected at binding ene...

Morphology-controlled synthesis of barium titanate nanostructures.

This study reports the synthesis of morphology-controlled BaTiO(3) nanostructures such as spherical, cube-shaped and rod-shaped BaTiO(3) using a molten-salt synthesis method. This method synthesized products from a reaction of BaO/BaCO(3) and TiO(2) with a eutectic mixture of NaCl-KCl flux at 700 degrees C for 1 h. The experiment used powder X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron m...

Synthesis of Barium-zinc-titanate Ceramics

Mixtures of BaCO3, ZnO and TiO2 powders, with molar ratio of 1:2:4, were mechanically activated for 20, 40 and minutes in a planetary ball mill. The resulting powders were compacted into pellets and isothermally sintered at 1250 °C for 2h with a heating rate of 10 °C/min. X-ray diffraction analysis of obtained powders and sintered samples was performed in order to investigate changes of the pha...
