Abstract:
Using Bi(NO
3)
3·5H
2O and Ti substrates as raw materials and absolute ethyl alcohol as a solvent,oriented Bi
0.5Na
0.5TiO
3(BNT) ceramics were synthesized by solvothermal method.The phase,micro-mophology and composition of BNT ceramics were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS).The effects of factors such as NaOH concentration,Bi
3+ concentration,surfactants and solvents on the grain phase,micro-mophology and composition of BNT ceramics were systematically studied.The results show that oriented BNT ceramics are successfully obtained when the NaOH concentration,theBi
3+ concentration,the addition of polyethylene glycol(PEG) and the solvent are 1 mol·L
-1,0.1 mol·L
-1,1 to 6 mL and absolute ethyl alcohol,respectively.The average size of the BNT grains is in the range of 10 to 20 μm.
