The Influences of Different Precursors on Morphology of Bi3TiNbO9 Powders Prepared by a Sol-Gel Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Bi3NbTiO9 (BNTO) powders were synthesized by a sol-gel chemical method using niobium oxalates, bismuth nitrate and tetra-n-butyl-titanate as starting materials. In order to determine the influence of the molar ratio of the deionized water to ethylene glycol on the particle morphology and crystallization, different molar ratios, the deionized water/ethylene glycol, were chosen to prepare BNTO powders. Single phase BNTO powders could be obtained at a calcinations temperature of 600°C. Moreover, the possible formation mechanism of BNTO powders was also proposed in this paper. In the baking process, perovskite phase BNTO was formed via a reaction between oxides and bismuth niobium.
