Abstract: Bismuth titanate with sillenite structure (Bi₁₂TiO₂₀) was prepared at lower temperatures and shorter times using a modified oxidant peroxide method (OPM). Bi₁₂TiO₂₀ was synthesized utilizing commercial Bi₂O₃ and reactive titanium dioxide nanoparticles having peroxo-modified surfaces. Rather than depending on particle size, the reaction mechanism is related to the highly exothermic decomposition of peroxo groups, regardless the titanium source used, which locally releases a large amount of energy that can accelerate the reaction, similar to self-propagating high temperature routes (SHS).
