Abstract

The present research investigates various techniques for producing barium titanate (BaTiO₃) in depth, highlighting how each affects the material's morphology and crystallography and consequently, its electrical and piezoelectric properties. Among the preparation methods taken into consideration were chemical-mechanical, hydrothermal, solid-state reaction, sol-gel, and microwave processes. The study demonstrated that by altering the preparation method, different characteristics and properties can be achieved. Furthermore, the study successfully proved the enhancement of the properties of nanomaterials through the synthesis of BaTiO₃ using advanced techniques, aiming to achieve better results in the future and increase its applicability in modern electronic devices
