Abstract

CaCu3Ti4O12 nanopowders were fabricated by a facile effective sol-gel route using tetrabutyl titanate, calcium acetate and cupric nitrate as precursors. The intermediate xerogel was characterized by thermal analyzer and the products with different calcination temperature were then studied by IR spectrum. Further X-ray diffraction, transmission electronic microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrum were used to characterize the prepared CaCu3Ti4O12 nanopowders. Additionally, the obtained CaCu3Ti4O12 nanopowders were investigated as a gas sensitive material responding to ethanol atmosphere, and it showed high sensitivity for ethanol gas.
