Battery safety is the number one priority for consumers and manufacturers, particularly for large-scale applications like electric vehicles and distributed energy storage systems, where the consequences of thermal runaway events...

Nanocrystalline BaTiO3 has been prepared via a hydrothermal synthesis. Reaction conditions including synthesis temperature and Ba/Ti precursor ratio/concentration have been systematically explored to produce small crystallites of phase-pure BaTiO3.

A solvothermal method using various benzyl alcohol/water solvent mixtures has been used to synthesise phase pure nanocrystalline BaTiO3 samples with varying particle sizes in the range of 11-139 nm. The...
