Combustion syntheses for BaTi4O9 and PbxBa1–x Ti4O9
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011
Abstract
BaTi4O9 and PbxBa1−x Ti4O9, where x is 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, or 0.5, have been prepared by a combustion synthesis process. The process starts with spray drying aqueous solutions of Pb(NO3)2, Ba(NO3)2, TiO(NO3)2, and β-alanine with appropriate ratios. Combustion reactions occur when heating the spray-dried products to 300 °C, which convert them to BaTi4O9 and PbxBa1−xTi4O9 directly. PbxBa1−xTi4O9 (x ≧ 0.1) are low temperature, metastable phases and have not been reported before. Pb0.5Ba0.5Ti4O9 is unstable above 800 °C and cannot be sintered. All PbxBa1−xTi4O9 compositions will decompose by 1300 °C, the temperature for solid state synthesis of BaTi4O9. Single-phase PbxBa1−xTi4O9 (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4), however, have been sintered at relatively lower temperatures.
