Abstract
Well-dispersed bismuth titanate (BIT) nanocrystals with an average size ranged from 3 to 60 nm were synthesized via a peroxide-based route assisted with an inverse microemulsion process. The crystallite size and lattice parameter of BIT upon variable-temperature were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The particle size was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Thermal decomposition behaviour of Ti-peroxy and BIT gel and crystallization kinetics of BIT nanocrystals were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry/thermogravimetry (DSC/TG) and Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Analysis of nonisothermal DSC data yielded a value of 220.84 ± 2.73 KJ/mol and 2.25 ± 0.26 for the activation energy of crystallization (E a) and the Avrami exponent (n), respectively.
