Synthesis and Characterization of BaBiO3 Perovskite through Chemical Route
Journal Title: STAR Journal - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
BaBiO3 (perovskite) polycrystalline semiconducting material was synthesised by sol-gel chemical method. Structure of the sample was characterised by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Grain, Grain boundary topography and chemical composition of the sample studied by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry (EDS). Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used for the study of band structure. The result of XRD characterization was indicated as the BaBiO3 is monoclinic perovskite and crystalline size is 85 nm. SEM image of the BaBiO3 showed the grain size of 85 nm. The FT-IR spectroscopy study showed that, the BaBiO3 has absorbent peak at 1420 cm-1.
