Description
Summary:In this paper, Nb-doped BaTiO<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles (BaNb<sub>0.47</sub>Ti<sub>0.53</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) were prepared using an electrochemical method in an alkaline solution, with titanium-niobium alloy as the electrode. The results indicated that under relatively mild conditions (normal temperature and pressure, V < 60 V, I < 5 A), cubic perovskite phase Nb-doped BaTiO<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles with high crystallinity and uniform distribution can be synthesized. With this increase in alkalinity, the crystallinity of the sample increases, the crystal grain size decreases, and the particles become more equally dispersed. Furthermore, in our study, the average grain size of the nanoparticles was 5–20 nm, and the particles with good crystallinity were obtained at a concentration of 3 mol/L of NaOH. This provides a new idea and method for introducing foreign ions under high alkalinity conditions.
