The Effect of Calcination Temperature on the Structural Properties of BaTiO₃ and (Ba_0.85Ca_0.15)(Zr_0.1Ti_0.9)O₃ Using the SSR Method

Abstract:

This paper studies how the various calcination temperatures affect the structural properties of Barium Titanate (BaTiO₃) and (Ba_0.85Ca_0.15)(Zr_0.1Ti_0.9) (BCZT) using solid-state reaction methods. BaTiO₃ and BCZT powders are calcined at various temperatures ranging from 1100°C–1300°C. Using X-ray diffraction, the phase formation, crystal structure and crystallite size of BaTiO₃ and BCZT powders were determined. The cubic crystal structure has been formed for BaTiO₃ and BCZT. At 1200°C, the reaction between BaCO₃ and TiO₂ was complete to produce BaTiO₃ composition. For BCZT composition were not fully react based on the phase structure in XRD due to impurity peak. Next, the crystallite size of BaTiO₃ powder becomes larger with increasing calcination temperature. Meanwhile, BCZT crystallite size becomes smaller when the calcination temperature is increased has discussed at the end of this paper.
