Abstract
Barium titanyl oxalate (BTO) with small deviations from stoichiometry has been synthesized by a chemical and a sonochemical method (under ultrasonication). Ultrasonic processing has been shown to reduce the particle size of the resultant BTO powder by about ten times and ensure a nearly spherical shape of the particles. The morphology of barium titanate powders prepared by decomposing the BTO at a temperature of 900°C is similar to that of the parent BTO and independent of stoichiometry. The powders have a barium to titanium ratio Ba/Ti = 1.002 and 0.987. The barium titanate powders synthesized using the sonochemical method contain a smaller amount of residual phases and have a larger specific surface area, smaller crystallite size (~100 nm), and smaller unit-cell parameters than do the powders prepared without ultrasonication.
