Abstract

Using the hydrolysis of appropriate alkoxide mixtures in water-in-oil microemulsions, nanocrystalline BaTiO3 has been prepared in the form of nonaggregated, cube-shaped crystals at room temperature without any sintering process as is demonstrated by means of x-ray diffractograms and transmission electron micrographs. By variation of the length of the hydrophilic part of the surfactant molecules, the diameter of the water droplets in the microemulsions could be tuned to values between 8 and 55 nm as determined by dynamic light scattering. The size of the resulting nano-BaTiO3 (6 nm ≤ 〈d〉vol ≤ 17 nm) was evaluated from the line broadening of x-ray reflections and correlates to the droplet size. The particle size distribution is very narrow, and in some cases nearly monodisperse.
