Barium titanate nanoparticles' introduction

Barium titanate is the inorganic compound. Barium is a Block P, Period 5 element, titanate is Block D, Period 4 element, and oxygen is a Block P, Period 2 element.

Barium titanate nanoparticles appear as white powder. Barium titanate nanoparticles are graded as harmful especially if swallowed or inhaled.

Barium titanate nanoparticles (BTNPs) are gaining popularity in biomedical research because of their piezoelectricity, nonlinear optical properties, and high biocompatibility. However, the potential of BTNPs is limited by the ability to create stable nanoparticle dispersions in water and physiological media.

Applications

The key applications of barium titanate nanoparticles are listed below:

In the field of specific electronic ceramics such as PTC, MLCC, and microwave dielectric ceramic

As nanoscale modules for the assembly of electronic devices, such as detectors, capacitors, and sensors

In multifunctional structural capacitors where the material elements have to simultaneously carry load and store energy

In high-density optical data storage
