Popis: Nanomaterials are playing more and more important roles in modern industry, while the large-scale fabrication and dispersibility still need to be addressed. This report explores the uniform fabrication and morphology control of ultrafine BaTiO 3 (BT) nanocrystals using a `TEG-sol' method. By varying the reactant concentration, the obtained product sols, Ba/Ti ratios, structure and morphology of the nanocrystals are investigated. The results reveal that under low concentrations (0.4-0.8 mol/L), transparent sols with uniform BT nanocrystals are obtained. Increasing the concentration to higher than 1.0 mol/L, BT precipitates with abnormal large crystals are obtained. Moreover, the Ba/Ti ratio variation further reveals that the surface organics are critical to the control of crystal size and morphology. This investigation is potential to be extended to the synthesis of various perovskite nanocrystals.
