1. A method comprising:
- providing a plurality of precursor materials in solution, wherein each of the plurality of precursor materials in solution further comprises at least one constituent ionic species of a ceramic powder, and wherein at least one of the plurality of precursor materials in solution is a chelate solution;
combining the plurality of precursor materials in solution with a precipitant solution to cause coprecipitation of the ceramic powder in a combined solution; and
separating the ceramic powder from the combined solution.

Abstract
Wet-chemical methods involving the use of water-soluble hydrolytically stable metal-ion chelate precursors and the use of a nonmetal-ion-containing strong base can be used in a coprecipitation procedure for the preparation of ceramic powders. Examples of the precipitants used include tetraalkylammonium hydroxides. A composition-modified barium titanate is one of the ceramic powders that can be produced. Certain metal-ion chelates can be prepared from 2-hydroxypropanoic acid and ammonium hydroxide.
