Hydrothermal synthesis of tabular perovskite particles

Abstract

Phase pure perovskite lead titanate and lead zirconate titanate powders were produced by hydrothermal synthesis. Reaction temperature and time are critical processing parameters for formation of phase-pure perovskite particles. In addition, solution pH should be greater than 14 to produce well-crystallized lead-based perovskite particles. Particle size and morphology of the particles can be tailored by mineralizer concentration and/or stirring rate.
