Microstructure and Morphology Control of Potassium Magnesium Titanates and Sodium Iron Titanates by Molten Salt Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: Titanates materials have attracted considerable interest due to their unusual functional and structural properties for many applications such as high-performance composites, devices, etc. Thus, the development of a large-scale synthesis method for preparing high-quality titanates at a low cost is desired. In this study, a series of quaternary titanates including K0.8Mg0.4Ti1.6O4, Na0.9Mg0.45Ti1.55O4, Na0.75Fe0.75Ti0.25O2, NaFeTiO4, and K2.3Fe2.3Ti5.7O16 are synthesized by a simple molten salt method using inexpensive salts of KCl and NaCl. The starting materials, intermediate products, final products, and their transformations were studied by using TG-DSC, XRD, SEM, and EDS. The results show that the grain size, morphology, and chemical composition of the synthesized quaternary titanates c
