Well dispersive barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanoparticles were synthesized by molten salt method using barium hydroxide octahydrate (Ba(OH)2·8H2O), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and the eutectic salts (NaCl–KCl) as raw materials. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra, and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The present results show that BaTiO3can be formed at low temperature of 600°C. The crystallinity of BaTiO3increases with the temperature rising. SEM images clearly indicate that well dispersive BaTiO3nanoparticles can also be successfully obtained even at high temperature of 800°C. Most BaTiO3nanoparticles display hexagonal outline in shape. The average size of BaTiO3nanoparticles is around 50nm. Meanwhile, compared with crystalline TiO2, amorphous TiO2is favorable for the formation of BaTiO3, especially decreasing other undesired phases. In the end, the formation mechanism of well dispersive BaTiO3nanoparticles is proposed for this molten salt system. Well dispersive BaTiO3nanoparticles begin to show some sintering ability at low temperature of 900°C.
