Sythhesis of coral‐like and spherical nanoparticles of barium titanate using factorial and Taguchi experimental design

Abstract

AbstractHigh purity barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanoparticle and its coral like architectures were synthesized in a laboratory scale from BaO and TiCl4 by microwave hydrothermal processing using a mixture of 0.1:2 volume ratio of Triethanalamine and distilled deionized water. The products were characterized by XRD, LLS, SEM and wet chemical analysis. The size of barium titanate particles was in the range of 5–25 nm with average particle size of 15.5 nm. The two dimensional coral – like product had the diameter of (3–18 nm and length of 140–420 nm). The experiments were designed to fulfill the 23 factorial and L4 Taguchi designs. Data analysis was performed using MINITAB software.
