Abstract

Barium titanate is a strong dielectric compound material with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss. It is one of the most widely used materials in electronic ceramics. Barium titanate powders with different micromorphologies have different uses. Barium titanate powders with different micromorphology were prepared by hydrothermal method using titanium tetrachloride, barium chloride dihydrate as raw materials and glycol solution as reaction medium. In this study, XRD, SEM, Raman, LAS, TEM, EDI and other comprehensive analysis methods were used to study the effect of raw material concentration on the morphology of hydrothermal synthesis barium titanate powder. When the concentration of titanium ion is 0.02 mol/L, the resulting barium titanate has a fibrous morphology. With the increase of reactant concentration, the morphology of Barium titanate powder gradually becomes granular. This is because the lower the reactant concentration, the less the number of nucleation during crystal growth, the lower the competition between crystal nuclei for raw materials, and barium titanate is more inclined to preferentially oriented growth.
