• Facile synthesis of Sc3 + and Gd3 + co-doped single-phase BaTiO3 solid-solution
• Uniform nanoparticles with average particle size of 30–40 nm
• Dense Ba1 − xTi1 − xGdxScxO3 ceramics is observed at a lower temperature of 1150 °C.
• Co-doping Sc3 + and Gd3 + can enhance dielectric properties.
A facile sol–gel–hydrothermal process was used to synthesize Scandium and Gadolinium co-doped BaTiO3 nanocrystals in this paper. Similar to the previous studies, a single-phase solid-solution structure is hard to achieve for BaTiO3 materials doped with rare-earth ions like Sc- and Gd- via solid-state method. Here, uniform Ba1 − xTi1 − xGdxScxO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.04) nanoparticles (NPs) with single-phase solid-solution cubic structure and average particle size of 30–40 nm were obtained and Ba1 − xTi1 − xGdxScxO3 pellets prepared from as-synthesized nanopowders can be sintered at a lower temperature of 1150 °C. The internal structures, chemical constitution and morphology were characterized by FT-IR spectra, XRD, TEM, HRTEM, Raman spectra and SEM analysis. The results clearly demonstrated that Sc3 + and Gd3 + have entered into the BaTiO3 lattice and led to structural distortion in a short range and all samples were single-phase tetragonal structure at room temperature. Additionally, the dielectric temperature stability was enhanced with Sc3 + and Gd3 + as dopants, since the single-phase BaTiO3 ceramics exhibited broadened dielectric peaks, decline of Curie temperature as well as low dielectric loss below 0.02. Ceramics containing 3 mol% Sc3 + and Gd3 + can exhibit the best dielectric behaviour of εr ~ 1700 and Tc = 32 °C in this work.
