Abstract

Nano-crystalline Li2TiO3 powder was prepared by a microwave-induced solution combustion synthesis (MSCS) route using urea as fuel. It is observed that combustion reaction, which did not occur by conventional heating, happened when microwave heating was induced. The as-synthesized Li2TiO3 powder exhibits a narrow size distribution. In MSCS, the total metal ion concentration (Cm) in the starting solution plays an important role. By changing Cm values in starting solution, SCS process including ignition time, combustion period and reaction rate can be controlled. The as-prepared powder could be sintered up to 92.6% of the theoretical density at 1223K.
