This paper reports on a novel-processing route for fabricating SrCO3nanoparticles bymicrowave method. Strontium carbonate (SrCO3) nanostructures were synthesized successfully via simplemicrowave approach by Sr(NO3)2, carbonate powder and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as reagents. The effects ofmicrowave time and power were investigated on product size and morphology. The products were characterized withX-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It can be concluded that microwave time andmorphology have significant effect on product size and morphology and by choosing the best microwave time andpower we can obtain very tiny particles.
