ChemInform Abstract

Monodisperse nanoparticles of BaTiO3 with diameters ranging from 6 to 12 nm are synthesized from BaTi(OOCC7H15)(OiPr)5 by a combined injection—hydrolysis method (injection of the precursor into a mixture of diphenyl ether and oleic acid as stabilizing agent at 140 °C, followed by hydrolysis using a 30 wt.% H2O2 solution). The samples are characterized by TEM and XRD. It is suggested that the synthesis procedure offers the possibility of a generalized approach to the production of single and complex oxide nanoparticles with size tunability and solution mobility.
