The photoacoustic spectra show that the absorption edge of nanostructured BaTiO3 powder appears red shift with the increase of annealing tem perature, which demonstrates that the energy gap becomes narrow. The decrease of energy gap is related to the growth of grains and the reduction of lattice parameters. In addition, an absorption band with several fine structures appears around 700 nmt which is induced by the additional energy levels of oxygen vacancies and the transition of the captured electrons in the additional energy levels.
