Abstract
We developed a method for preparing magnesium titanate via hydrolytic decomposition of solutions of metal alkoxides in butyl alcohol, using Ti(OBu)(4) and metallic magnesium as the starting reagents. It is show n that the phase purity of MgTiO3 depends on hydrolysis conditions. Th e alkoxide route yields a homogeneous, readily sinterable powder of ma gnesium titanate with submicron-sized particles, which holds promise f or use in electronics.
