摘要

Magnesium titanate is a metal oxide powder mainly used as an additive in ceramic dielectric components. Due to its fundamental dielectric properties, it finds applications in the field of precision electronic ceramics, such as capacitor ceramic substrates. It can also be used as electrets in alternator and radiographic detector devices. Despite its various applications, increasing the tunability of magnesium titanate remains a challenge for its progressive use. In the present work, a co-precipitation synthesis of magnesium titanate was developed using magnesium chloride flakes, titanium tetrachloride, and oxalic acid. The characteristics of this material were investigated through EDS, XRD, FTIR, TGA, and SEM analyses. The composition of magnesium titanate is 19.69% Mg, 40.19% Ti, and 40.11% O. XRD results showed geikielite as the dominant phase after calcination at 850 °C, along with few aligned phases by exhibiting high diffraction peaks between 2θ = 31°–35°, while the minimum weight loss around 6% in TGA defines its thermal stability. The absorption bands in the spectrum at 1101.89 and 1629.77 cm−1 correspond to Mg–O and Ti–O bonds, respectively. SEM observation revealed average particle size less than 1µm. Thus, magnesium titanate was produced through oxalate precipitation of magnesium chloride flakes and titanium tetrachloride. The stability of magnesium titanate was determined to be higher at a calcination temperature of 850 °C, and greater purity was obtained.
