With FeCl3·6H2O and Bi(NO3)3·5H2O powder as raw materials and KOH as a mineralizer, the pure phase BiFeO3(BFO) powder was synthesized by microwave–hydrothermal (MH) method at 200°C, with the reaction time as little as 30min. The range of preparing the BFO powders had been summarized. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images revealed that the little BFO plate grew together forming rock sugar-like BFO powders, and then they grew further to form the mussel-like BFO powders. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) images also improved the self-assembly growth of BFO powders. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), the high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and the selected area electron diffraction (SAED) results indicated that the BFO powders grew along the [110] and [104] crystal orientation. The B–H loops of BFO indicated that the weak magnetism existed in the pure phase BFO powders.
