VD0678 Bismuth Titanate (Bi4Ti3O12) Evaporation Materials

Description

Bismut titanate (Bi4Ti3O12), also known as Bismut titanium oxide or BIT, is a complex oxide material of the perovskite type. Its crystal structure and chemical composition support diverse technological applications. BIT exhibits a high dielectric constant, significant remanent polarisation and good thermal stability. These properties allow its use in electronic devices such as non-volatile memories, sensors, actuators and energy harvesting devices. Its piezoelectric response qualifies it for use in ultrasound transducers and acoustic devices. Ongoing research on its synthesis methods and intrinsic properties reinforces its potential in electronics, energy conversion and sensor technology.

Applications

1. Electronic Devices: Bismut titanate is used in non-volatile memories (FeRAMs) owing to its high remanent polarisation and low coercive field. It also shows potential in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and actuators.

2. Sensors: Its piezoelectric characteristics qualify it for sensor applications, particularly ultrasound transducers used in medical imaging, industrial inspections and underwater sonar systems.

3. Energy Harvesting: The ferroelectric properties of bismut titanate permit conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy. This conversion supports its use in energy harvesting for self-powered sensors and portable electronics.

4. Photovoltaics: Bismut titanate has been investigated for photovoltaic applications due to its ability to absorb light and generate photocurrent. It is under evaluation for solar cell applications.

5. Acoustic Devices: Its piezoelectric properties enable its use in acoustic devices, such as loudspeakers, microphones and acoustic filters.

6. Catalysis: Bismut titanate has been studied for its potential as a catalyst in various chemical reactions. These include the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and water splitting for hydrogen production.
