Synthesis and Characterization of BaBiO3 Perovskite through Chemical Route

Abstract

BaBiO3 (perovskite) polycrystalline semiconducting material was synthesised by sol-gel chemical method. Structure of the sample was characterised by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Grain, Grain boundary topography and chemical composition of the sample
studied by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry (EDS). Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used for the study of band structure. The result of XRD characterization was indicated as the
BaBiO₃ is monoclinic perovskite and crystalline size is 85 nm. SEM image of the BaBiO₃ showed the grain size of 85 nm. The FT-IR spectroscopy study showed that, the BaBiO₃ has absorbent peak at 1420 cm^-1
