Abstract

One dimensional ferroelectric nanostructure is noteworthy for their size-dependent dielectric, piezoelectric, and electro-optic properties with corresponding applications in smart devices such as transducers, actuators, and high-k dielectrics at the nanoscale. Due to their extremely small size and anisotropy, the control of nucleation and growth of one dimensional nanostructure materials is still a big challenge. Sol–gel-hydrothermal chemistry combines both the merits of sol–gel and hydrothermal technique, which offers a very useful tool for low-temperature synthesis of the ferroelectric nanowires. In this paper, we will review recent works devoted to the synthesis of Bi-based complex perovskite nanowires, i.e. Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3, K0.5Bi0.5TiO3, (K0.5Bi0.5)0.4Ba0.6TiO3 and (Na0.8 K0.2)0.5Bi0.5TiO3 systems. We will focus on the formation mechanism and morphology evolution of nanowires prepared in sol–gel-hydrothermal process. Moreover, due to the good sinterability of the nanowires, the high-densified single-phase ceramic can be fabricated even by a conventional sintering process.
