Ceramic materials have been used in various human health-related applications for considerable time. One of the important applications of ceramic materials is in electronics. Our work focuses on calcium titanate (CaTiO3). CaTiO3 is typically created via sintering. Gypsum particles is used to form calcium hydroxide, which is then combined with titanium dioxide to form rutile crystals. Thereafter, calcination is performed at 900°C, 1000°C, and 1100°C for 2 h. X-ray diffraction is employed to track the evolution of the CaTiO3 phase. Scanning electron microscopy is used to characterize the morphologies of the different preparation steps. As the calcination temperature increases from 900°C to 1000°C, the crystallite size of CaTiO3 increases from 35 nm to 45 nm. Furthermore, the energy gaps of the CaTiO3 powders obtained after calcination at 900°C and 1000°C are 5.32 eV and 5.43 eV, respectively, and their particle sizes are 150–200 nm and 200–300 nm, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
