“…Material: The BST-BNT: x(Sm, Mg) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.25 wt%) polycrystalline nanoparticles were prepared by the Pechini sol-gel method explicitly discussing in our published work. [48] Ethylene glycol (C 2 H 6 O 2 , Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd., 99.0% purity) and citric acid monohydrate (C 6 H 10 O 8 , Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd., 99.5% purity) were mixed by 4:1 ratio, with the tetrabutyl titanate (Ti(OBu) 4 , Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd., 98.0% purity) added to the mixture as soon as the citric acid was dissolved to make a homogeneous modified precursor. The polycondensation reaction ended after 4 h of magnetic stirring at 55 °C.…”
