Synthesis of barium oxide nanorod by chemical bath deposition

Abstract

We report on the control of nanocrystal sizes in barium oxide nanorods prepared by chemical bath deposition technique. Barium chloride and potassium hydroxide are used as source materials to obtain barium oxide films. Different chemical baths are used to study changes in the structures of the BaO films The effect of hydrazine hydrate on growth of these films has been studied. The results reveal that the additive played a very important role on crystalline size and shape. © TÜBI·TAK.
