    BaZr<inf>0.3</inf>Ti<inf>0.7</inf>O<inf>3</inf> (BZT) nanoparticles were prepared by glycine-nitrate autocombustion method. The effects of synthesis condition and calcination temperature on phase formation and microstructure of the BZT were investigated. XRD and FT-IR study indicated that BZT with cubic perovskite-type structure can be obtained from the synthesis condition using glycine-to-nitrate molar ratio of 2:3 and calcined in air at 1000°C for 4 h. The microstructure examined by SEM and TEM showed that BZT had agglomerate particles consisted of primary spherical nanocrystals with the crystallite sizes of 8-20 nm. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

    Barium zirconate (BaZrO<inf>3</inf>) was synthesized successfully by the sonochemical method. The monophase of BaZrO<inf>3</inf> was formed completely in short irradiation time without the calcination process. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize formation of the perovskite BaZrO<inf>3</inf> phase, which occurs in a 60 minute single phase with a cubic crystal structure at room temperature. Therefore, sonochemical irradiation could accelerate the formation of BaZrO<inf>3</inf> particles significantly. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy investigated the uniform shape and size. The size distribution became narrow with increasing time, as a function of irradiation. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

    Spherical monosized barium zirconate titanate nanoparticles (Ba(Zr <inf>x</inf>Ti<inf>1-x</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> (BZT) when x = 0.25, 0.30 and 0.35) have been prepared by co-precipitation in a strongly alkaline solution (20 M NaOH) at 80°C. The phase formation of the as-precipitated powders was characterized by XRD, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy as a single-phase BZT with cubic perovskite oxide structure. This indicates that crystalline BZT powders can be obtained from the co-precipitation in 20 M NaOH without the requirement of calcination process. SEM analysis showed that BZT had nanosized spherical morphology with uniform shape and size. The crystal sizes obtained by TEM analysis were 20-40 nm. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

    A new route for preparing barium zirconate titanate nanoparticles (BaZr<inf>0.3</inf>Ti<inf>0.7</inf>O<inf>3</inf> (BZT)) has been developed by ultrasonication of BaCl<inf>2</inf>·2H<inf>2</inf>O, ZrOCl <inf>2</inf>·8H<inf>2</inf>O and TiCl<inf>4</inf> precursors in a high concentration of NaOH aqueous solution. The as-prepared powders were identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) as cubic perovskite BZT. The phase formation was confirmed by FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. The increase of NaOH concentration resulted in BZT powders with smaller particle size and less BaCO<inf>3</inf> contamination. The microstructure of BZT powders prepared in 20 M NaOH examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed nanosized spherical morphology with the average particle sizes of 51±6 nm. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
