Abstract Uniform crystals of CdTiO3 orthorhombic phase have been preapred by Sol-Gel method using titanium butoxide and cadmium acetate. For the first time the sample has been characterised detailedly to confirm the formation of pure single phase of CdTiO3. It is observed that the sample sintered at 500°C for 5 h showed complete formation of the single phase of CdTiO3 by X-ray diffraction technique. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement has been carried out for the bulk CdTiO3 sintered at 500 °C for 5 h, which showed 20% of Cd, 20% of Ti and 60% of O indicating stoichiometric CdTiO3. Surface morphology studies by scanning electron microscopy showed uniform crystals of CdTiO3. The purity of the compound has also been checked by Energy Dispersive X-ray method indicating the absence of foreign ions apart from that, the ratio of Cd : Ti has been calculated and found to be 1 : 1 indicating the stoichiometric CdTiO3.
