during the formation of Bi2Ti2O7 nanocrystals. Bi20TiO32 nanocones were prepared by
metalorganic decomposition technique. From X-ray patterns, it was found that Bi20TiO32 is
a metastable phase, and can transform gradually into Bi2Ti2O7 phase with the annealing
time increasing at a temperature of 550° C. The image of field emission scanning electron
microscopy shows that the lengths of the nanocones are up to several micrometers and the …
