Abstract: | Submicron-sized SrTiO3 crystallites were prepared by a low temperature solid state method. The proposed preparation method involved two simple steps: firstly, SrO2 nanoparticles of 35–90 nm were precipitated from the reaction of Sr(NO3)2 and H2O2 in an alkalescent aqueous solution (pH = 8) under the ambient condition; secondly, perovskite phase SrTiO3 with a minor amount of SrCO3 impurity were produced by heating the mixture of excessive SrO2 nanoparticles and commercial TiO2 powders in air at 700 °C for 10 h, which could be easily washed with 1 mol/l HNO3 aqueous solution and distilled water to yield pure SrTiO3 crystallites with the size of about 125–320 nm. The phase, purity and size of the as-obtained product were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). |
