Abstract
Ultrafine BaTiO3 particles were prepared by a micro-emulsion charring (MEC) method. The MEC method consisted of two steps. The first step is the preparation of a water/oil micro-emulsion with BaTiO3 elements, and the second is a low temperature firing process in N2 atmosphere, which includes charring of oil in an emulsion and powdering BaTiO3 particles with the char. The char formed around BaTiO3 particles prevents an agglomeration of BaTiO3 particles during firing. In the present experiment, the W/O ratio and the amount of emulsifier greatly influenced the size of droplets of the emulsion. The charring temperature was another important experimental factor in order to obtain the desired BaTiO3 particles. The finally obtained BaTiO3 charring powders were monodispersed spherical particles and the particle size was 0.1 μm to 0.5 μm.
