Magnesium titanate (MgTiO₃) is an inorganic compound composed of magnesium oxide (MgO) and titanium dioxide (TiO₂). It is a member of the perovskite family of materials and is known for its unique electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties, which make it useful in a variety of applications, including ceramics, electronics, and catalysts.
Chemical Formula: MgTiO₃
Crystal Structure: Magnesium titanate crystallizes in a perovskite structure, which is a common feature of many functional ceramic materials. This structure consists of a cubic lattice with a central titanium ion surrounded by oxygen ions, and magnesium ions occupying the lattice’s interstitial sites.
Dielectric Properties: MgTiO₃ has a relatively high dielectric constant and low loss, which makes it valuable in electronic applications, particularly in capacitors and other dielectric components.
Thermal Stability: Magnesium titanate has excellent thermal stability, making it suitable for use in high-temperature environments. It can withstand heat without significant degradation.
Electrical Conductivity: MgTiO₃ is an insulator under normal conditions, but its properties can be modified by doping with other elements or by altering its structure.
Mechanical Properties: The material is mechanically strong, with high resistance to wear and deformation. It is also thermally and chemically stable under most industrial conditions.
Capacitors and Dielectric Materials: MgTiO3 is used in the manufacture of capacitors and other dielectric components, thanks to its high dielectric constant and low electrical losses.
Thermal Insulation: The material’s high thermal stability makes it suitable for use in high-temperature insulation applications, such as in furnace linings and as a thermal barrier in other industrial settings.
Piezoelectric Devices: Magnesium titanate can be used in piezoelectric applications when doped or modified, including in sensors and actuators, although this is less common than other materials like lead zirconate titanate (PZT).
Catalysts and Catalyst Supports: MgTiO3 is used as a catalyst support in certain chemical reactions, particularly in the production of hydrogen or the reduction of certain pollutants. Its stability and surface properties make it effective for these uses.
Ceramics: Magnesium titanate is widely used in advanced ceramic applications, including as a component in ferrites, microwave devices, and in the production of insulating ceramics for electronic components.
Solar Cells: Due to its stable properties, MgTiO3 is also being explored for use in solar energy applications, such as in thin-film solar cells or as part of perovskite solar cell technology.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo.
