Abstract

Spherical particles of lead titanate, PbTiO3, (PT) were preparedfrom partially hydrolyzed alkoxide solutions modified with benzoic acid.Modified and aged alkoxide solutions were added dropwise to isopropylalcohol, forming particles (0.2 to 1.0 μm in diameter). FTIR spectroscopyresults demonstrate chelation of the PT alkoxide which prevented theformation of an extended gel network. Diffuse reflectance FTIR (DRIFT)spectra indicate the benzoate ligands are present until 450°C; TGA resultsshow significant weight loss at 450°C. PT particles crystallize into theperovskite phase at =450°C, as determined by DTA and XRD. The relatively lowcrystallization temperature may be due to the effect of benzoate ligands onamorphous structure and presence of internal surfaces.
