Eco-friendly sonochemical synthesis of BaTiO₃/Ag nanocomposite particles: Investigation of Ag-nanoparticle formation and growth behavior under ultrasound irradiation.

ABSTRACT: This study synthesizes BaTiO₃/Ag nanocomposite particles using an eco-friendly sonochemical method and investigates the mechanism of Ag-nanoparticle deposition. BaTiO₃ and Ag₂O were ultrasonically irradiated in methanol at 20 ˚C, and samples and solvents were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Nanocomposite particles uniformly decorated with fine Ag nanoparticles were obtained via ultrasonication (>45 kHz) for 3 h. The average size of the Ag nanoparticles increased with increasing irradiation time, whic
