Preparation of Barium Titanate Nanocube Particles by Solvothermal Method and Their Characterization

Abstract

Barium titanate (BaTiO ₃ ) nanocube particles below 20 nm were prepared by solvothermal method To prepare nanocubes, a selection of organic solvent and inorganic materials of Ba and Ti sources was most important. At the temperatures above 200degC, a nucleation and particle growth of BaTiO ₃ nanoparticles led to a formation of the BaTiO ₃ nanocubes with a size of 10-15 nm.
