Abstract
This study successfully synthesized high-tetragonality barium titanate (BaTiO(3)) particles with a small particle size by implementing ball milling in the solid-state synthesis of BaTiO(3) and utilizing nanoscale raw materials. This study also addressed the issues of impurities and uneven particle size distribution that could exist in the synthesized BaTiO(3) particles. The crystal structure, morphology, and particle size of the synthesized BaTiO(3) particles have been meticulously analyzed and discussed through the use of techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the laser particle size analyzer. BaTiO(3) has been successfully synthesized, exhibiting a uniform particle size with an average diameter of 170 nm and a high tetragonality value of 1.01022. This new solid-state synthesis method provided insights to avoid the impact of "size effects" during the process of electronic device miniaturization.
