Sonochemical activation in aqueous medium for solid-state synthesis of BaTiO₃ powders.

ABSTRACT: BaTiO₃-based oxide compounds are important ceramic materials for multilayer ceramic capacitors. In this paper, we report a sonochemical activation process of BaCO₃ and TiO₂ in an aqueous medium for the synthesis of BaTiO₃ powders through a solid-state process. Owing to the physical and chemical effects of the ultrasonication in aqueous medium on the raw materials, BaTiO₃ powders could be successfully synthesized at relatively low temperatures through a solid-state reaction, which was significantly enhanced as compared to the case in ethanol medium. Detailed investigations on the resulting BaTiO₃ powders and ceramics were performed, and a model to understand the role of aqueous medium on the enhancement of the solid-state reaction was proposed in terms of Ba²⁺ ion leaching and zeta potential of TiO₂, which are strongly affected by the pH of the aqueous medium. Our results are not only helpful for cost-effective synthesis of BaTiO₃ through the highly reliable solid-state reaction process, but they also provide an understanding of the role of aqueous medium for the sonochemical process using raw materials with partial solubility in water.

Structures and Role of the Intermediate Phases on the Crystallization of BaTiO3 from an Aqueous Synthesis Route.

Project description:Carbonate formation is a prevailing challenge in synthesis of BaTiO3, especially through wet chemical synthesis routes. In this work, we report the phase evolution during thermal annealing of an aqueous BaTiO3 precursor solution, with a particular focus on the structures and role of intermediate phases forming prior to BaTiO3 nucleation. In situ infrared spectroscopy, in situ X-ray total scattering, and transmission electron microscopy were used to reveal the decomposition, pyrolysis, and crystallization reactions occurring during thermal processing. Our results show that the intermediate phases consist of nanosized calcite-like BaCO3 and BaTi4O9 phases and that the intimate mixing of these along with their metastability ensures complete decomposition to form BaTiO3 above 600 °C. We demonstrate that the stability of the intermediate phases is dependent on the processing atmosphere, where especially enhanced CO2 levels is detrimental for the formation of phase pure BaTiO3.

Luminescent Naphthalene Diimide-Based Peptide in Aqueous Medium and in Solid State: Rewritable Fluorescent Color Code.

Project description:This study convincingly demonstrates a unique example of the self-assembly of a naphthalene diimide (NDI)-appended peptide into a fluorescent J-aggregate in aqueous media. Moreover, this aggregated species shows a remarkable yellow fluorescence in solid state, an unusual phenomenon for NDI-based compounds. The aggregated species has been characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, time-correlated single proton counting (TCSPC), UV-vis, and photoluminescence studies. TEM images reveal cross-linked nanofibrillar morphology of this aggregated species in water (pH 7.4). TCSPC study clearly indicates that the aggregated species in water has a higher average lifetime compared to that of the non-aggregated species. Interestingly, this NDI-based peptide shows H+ ion concentration-dependent change in the emission property in water. The fluorescence output is erased completely in the presence of an alkali, and it reappears in the presence of an acid, indicating its erasing and rewritable property. This indicates its probable use in authentication tools for security purposes as a rewritable fluorescence color code. This NDI-appended peptide-based molecule can be used for encryption of information due to erasing and rewritable property of the molecule in the aggregated state in aqueous medium.

Combination of Solid-State and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy To Explore Effects of Porosity in Sol-Gel-Derived BaTiO3 Thin Films.

Project description:BaTiO3 thin films were deposited onto polycrystalline Pt using a dip-coating technique, with annealing temperatures of 750-900 °C. To avoid film imperfections such as cracking or pinholes, key conditions, including aging periods, water content, and stirring speeds, were refined to produce a pinhole-free, uniform film with some porosity. Whereas those coated a single time short circuited during electrical characterization, this could be avoided in films produced by multiple coating cycles. The effective permittivity of a 600 nm BaTiO3 film was measured at 290 by fitting solid-state impedance data in the frequency range of 100 Hz to 1 MHz. Electrochemical impedance with an aqueous electrolyte allowed evaluation of the porosity, which remained fairly constant between 1 and 5 coating cycles. Using this method, it was possible to estimate the effective permittivity of the BaTiO3 itself as 374 and hence to evaluate the increase in the effective permittivity that could be achieved by minimizing porosity.

Solvent-free sonochemistry: Sonochemical organic synthesis in the absence of a liquid medium.

Project description:Sonochemistry, i.e., the application of mechanical energy in the form of sound waves, has recently been recognised for its similarity to mechanochemistry and is now included under the umbrella term of mechanochemistry. Typically, due to the hypothesised cavitation mechanism, a liquid medium is considered as a necessity for a process to take place as a result of ultrasonic irradiation. In view of this, condensation reactions between solid reagents in the complete absence of solvent were carried out successfully by ultrasonic irradiation with the importance of particle size being highlighted. This work increases the potential of sonochemistry in the drive towards a sustainable future.

Structure and dielectric properties of (1-x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-xBaTiO3 piezoceramics prepared using hydrothermally synthesized powders.

Project description:The influence of different processing parameters and various Ba2+ addition (up to 10 mol%) on the structure and dielectric properties of Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-BaTiO3 (BNT-BT) ceramics was investigated. The powders were hydrothermally synthesized in the alkaline environment at 180°C for different time periods. X-ray diffraction confirmed the presence of dominant rhombohedral Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 phase and a small amount of secondary pyrochlore Bi2Ti2O7 phase in the pure BNT powders. In addition, one-dimensional Na2Ti2O7 structure was also observed in the powder hydrothermally treated for a long time (i.e. 48 h). The amount of secondary pyrochlore phase in the BNT-BT powders increases with the increase of Ba2+ content. The synthesized powders were pressed into pellets and finally sintered at various temperatures up to 1150°C. High density (more than 90%TD) was obtained in all BNT-BT sintered samples. Optimal sintering parameters were chosen in order to obtain dense ceramics with the optimal phase composition. The temperature dependence of dielectric properties for the BNT-BT ceramics was also studied. Relaxor behaviour of BNT-based ceramics and broad transition peaks are evident in all samples. Dielectric constant up to 400 as well as an acceptable low dielectric loss at temperatures lower than 200°C were obtained in BNT-BT ceramics.

A BaTiO3/WS2 composite for piezo-photocatalytic persulfate activation and ofloxacin degradation.

Project description:Piezoelectric fields can decrease the recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes in semiconductors and therewith increase their photocatalytic activities. Here, a BaTiO3/WS2 composite is synthesized and characterized, which combines piezoelectric BaTiO3 nanofibers and WS2 nanosheets. The piezo-photocatalytic effect of the composite on the persulfate activation is studied by monitoring Ofloxacin (OFL) degradation efficiency. Under mechanical forces, LED lamp irradiation, and the addition of 10 mM persulfate, the OFL degradation efficiency reaches ~90% within 75 min, which is higher than efficiencies obtained for individual BaTiO3, WS2, or TiO3, widely used photocatalysts in the field of water treatment. The boosted degradation efficiency can be ascribed to the promotion of charge carrier separation, resulting from the synergetic effect of the heterostructure and the piezoelectric field induced by the vibration. Moreover, the prepared composite displays good stability over five successive cycles of the degradation process. GC-MS analysis is used to survey the degradation pathway of OFL during the degradation process. Our results offer insight into strategies for preparing highly effective piezo-photocatalysts in the field of water purification.

Electrochemical Synthesis of Nb-Doped BaTiO3 Nanoparticles with Titanium-Niobium Alloy as Electrode.

Project description:In this paper, Nb-doped BaTiO3 nanoparticles (BaNb0.47Ti0.53O3) 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 BaTiO3 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.

Solid-state optical refrigeration to sub-100 Kelvin regime.

Project description:Since the first demonstration of net cooling twenty years ago, optical refrigeration of solids has progressed to outperform all other solid-state cooling processes. It has become the first and only solid-state refrigerator capable of reaching cryogenic temperatures, and now the first solid-state cooling below 100 K. Such substantial progress required a multi-disciplinary approach of pump laser absorption enhancement, material characterization and purification, and thermal management. Here we present the culmination of two decades of progress, the record cooling to ≈ 91 K from room temperature.
