Abstract: High purity barium titanate BaTiO3 was successfully synthesized by using the sol-gel technique. Barium acetate Ba(CH3COO)2 and tetrabutyl titanate, Ti(C4H9O)4 was dissolved moderately in the solvent of glacial acetic acid and ethanol was added as the chemical modifier. The synthesized BaTiO3 nanoparticle was calcined at the temperature range of 700 ºC to 1100 ºC. The powders were further characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fined BaTiO3 powders result indicates the phase of tetragonal structures and high crystallites of BaTiO3. It was observed that the crystallinity and particle size of BaTiO3 is greatly influenced by the calcination temperature.
Keywords: BaTiO3, Sol-gel synthesis, Ferroelectric, calcination temperature.
