Abstract

Barium strontium titanate (Ba1−x Sr x TiO3, BST) with tree-like and pinecone-like morphologies were prepared through a facile hydrothermal method with BaCl2, SrCl2 and TiCl4 as raw materials and NaOH as a mineralizer. The morphology, particle size, microstructure and phase evolution of as-prepared product were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution TEM. Based on the results, the influencing factors of detail synthetic process of BST were studied. It was found that the fabrication of BST was elucidated in a rapid process at low temperatures of 180–200 °C and the shapes of BST were controlled with changing proper selection of the synthesis conditions. Moreover, the narrow particle size distribution of the BST with two forms in tree-like and pinecone-like is about 1.4–2.0 µm. In addition, the formation mechanism of BST crystals was proposed.
