An Investigation on Structure and Morphology of Strontium Titanate Nanopowders Synthesized by Sol-Gel Combustion Method with Chitosan Solution Addition

Article Preview

Abstract:

A sol-gel combustion method has been effectively used to prepare SrTiO3 nanopowders. The effect of chitosan solution content addition in sol-gel combustion method on microstructure and morphology of SrTiO3 powders was investigated by XRD and SEM. It was demonstrated that the addition of chitosan solution is beneficial to the homogenously distributed in powder products. The particle sizes of powders were found that they were a large amount of agglomerated with the structure feature of nearly spherical in shape and consisted of nano-sized crystallites, which indicated by SEM.
