Preparation of BaTiO3 particles using oxalate process.

Step  1: synthesis of mixed oxalate
 TiCl4 + H2O TiOCl2 + 2HCl (1) 
 BaCl2 + TiOCl2 + 2H2C2O4 + 4H2O BaTiO(C2O4)2·4H2O + 4HCl (2)

Step  2: thermal decomposition
 BaTiO(C2O4)2·4H2O BaTiO(C2O4)2 + 4H2O (3) 
 BaTiO(C2O4)2 0.5BaTi2O5 + 0.5BaCO3 + 2CO + 1.5CO2 (4) 
 0.5BaTi2O5 + 0.5BaCO3 BaTiO3↓ + 0.5CO2 (5)
