Abstract Tetragonal-phase BaTiO3 powders of particle size 370 nm were synthesized by microwave sintering at 850 °C. The raw materials were BaCO3, TiO2, and alanine. SiC microspheres were used as microwave conductors. The effects of the holding time, sintering aids, and SiC addition on the preparation of B aTiO3 were investigated. The results indicate that the addition of SiC as a microwave acceptor leads to formation of microwave micro-regions. This enables uniform heating of the raw materials and decreases the calcination temperature needed to obtain BaTiO3. Alanine coordinates with Ba, and this loosens the metal–CO3 bond and promotes separation of CO2, decreases the B aCO3 decomposition temperature, and provides a higher nucleation site density. It gives an idea about the microwave solid-state synthesis of BaTiO3 powder. Keywords BaTiO3 · Tetragonal · SiC · Alanine · Microwave micro-region sintering
1 Introduction Perovskite oxide has many properties, e.g., piezoelectric, dielectric, and ferroelectric activities [1,2]. B aTiO3 is an important perovskite structure material. It is used in multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), semiconductors, and electroluminescent panels [3,4]. The trend toward miniaturization of components in the electronics industry has increased interest in perovskite oxide nanopowders. For example, the fabrication of high-capacitance, small MLCCs requires the solid-state production of tetragonal-phase BaTiO3 nanopowders with small highly dispersed particles [5]. The development of methods for decreasing the

particle size and improving the uniformity of the BaTiO3, while decreasing the synthesis temperature, is therefore a key issue. BaTiO3 can be synthesized by sol–gel [6,7], solid-state [8,9], hydrothermal [10,11], coprecipitation [12], and microwave methods [13]. B aTiO3 prepared by liquid-phase methods has hydroxyl lattice defects, and this leads to MLCC porosity during sintering [14]. B aTiO3 has been synthesized by a solid-state method below 1000 °C, with B aCO3 and TiO2 as the raw materials [15]. Although solid-state methods are cheap and simple, the products have a large average particle size, high ag
