Synthesis of perovskite-type BaSnO3 particles obtained by a new simple wet chemical route based on a sol-gel process

A new wet chemical route to produce BaSnO3 nanoparticles is reported. The method, based on a sol-gel process is characterized by its simplicity, reduced sintering time, mass production, high level of repeatability and a low industrialization implementation cost. Structural and microstructural analyses by TEM, XRD and Raman spectroscopy of the obtained BaSnO3 were presented. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
