Long-term leaching kinetics and solution chemistry of aqueous BaTiO3 powder suspensions: a numerical model supported experiment

J Mater Chem B. 2024 Dec 4;12(47):12349-12364. doi: 10.1039/d4tb01708k.

Abstract

The advent of lead-free perovskite materials with favorable toxicity profiles has made them candidates for in vivo and environmental applications. However, their tendency to leach A-site cations raises concerns about toxicity, catalytic efficiency, and slurry properties. The present study investigates the long-term leaching kinetics of BaTiO3 powders over 31 days in aqueous solutions of varying pH levels. Using ICP-MS analysis and a numerical model based on the Unreacted Shrinking Core (USC) principle. The study extends the understanding of BaTiO3 stability beyond previously reported timeframes. The findings highlight the material's long-term stability, with implications for biomedical and environmental applications.
