The Hydrothermal Synthesis of BaTiO3 Nanotubes Arrays with Good Electrical Property

Barium titanate nanotubes arrays were synthetized by in-suit hydrothermal method using TiO2nanotubes as both template and reactant in titanium substrate. Highly ordered nanotubes arrays and the spacing between nanotubes are apparent. XRD indicates that the samples have excellent crystallization and perovskite structure. Typical ferroelectric hysteresis loop of as-formed barium titanate nanotubes arrays with remanent polarization and coercive field are 6.72 and 48.7kV/cm.

A Novel Process to Synthesize NiCoMnO4 Nano-Powder for NTC Electro-Ceramics

A pure spinel-type phase was attained by solid state reactions at room temperature, with no intermediate compounds. Its formation and the structural evolutions have been characterized by thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG/DSC) tests, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Related electrical analyses were also performed. The results showed that the powders and ceramics prepared by the solid state reactions at room temperature exhibit a good electrical property because of narrow grain size distribution, controlled morphology, and high purity. Most importantly, this new approach greatly simplifies the preparation processes.
