Understanding of doping sites and versatile applications of heteroatom modified BaTiO3 ceramic

ABSTRACT Due to its multifunctional properties, BaTiO3(BT) is a crucial ceramic material in the semiconductor market. The development of doping techniques has received considerable attention in recent years as efforts continue to enhance the attractive qualities of BaTiO3 and broaden the range of modern technologies in which it can be used. The synthesis method and doping components must be carefully chosen in order to produce appropriate BaTiO3 particles with high purity and suitable grain size that are critical for the desired end applications of synthesized doped BaTiO3. Doping can be performed in either the A site or B site or in both sites proportionally. This brief review has been compiled to increase our understanding of the doping sites as well as the possible applications based on the previous literature.
