Synthesis of Ba2B5O9Cl Whiskers via Flux Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ba2B5O9Cl whiskers with uniform morphology were synthesized by a simple flux method, using BaCl2•2H2O, H3BO3 as the starting materials, and KCl as the flux. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microcopy (SEM), and the optimum conditions for preparing high quality Ba2B5O9Cl whiskers were studied. Results show that a sintering temperature around 700 °C, an Ba/B mole ratio of 1:3 and a raw materials to flux mass ratio of 1:2 lead to uniform orthorhombic Ba2B5O9Cl whiskers with a diameter of 0.4-1.0 µm and a length of 10-25 µm.
