Abstract
Barium strontium titanate nano powders were prepared by mixing ethanol solution of tetrabutyl titanate with an aqueous solution of Ba(OH)2•8H2O and Sr(OH)2•8H2O with a certain molar ratio of barium to strontium at 40°C－95°C. The products were characterized by thermogravimetry (TG), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results show that the powders prepared with the reactant concentration of 0.8M are spherical in particle shape with the grain size of 50nm－65nm. When the annealing temperature of the powders is higher than 906°C, the hydroxyl groups existed in barium strontium titanate lattice are removed. XRD analysis demonstrate that the as-prepared powders are cubic phase. All the diffraction peaks are shifted towards higher diffraction angles and the lattice parameter a calculated decreases linearly with serial decrease of the molar ratio of barium to strontium.
