β¦ Synopsis
K 0.5 Na 0.5 NbO 3 Low temperature Direct synthesis Pure K 0.5 Na 0.5 NbO 3 powders were prepared at low temperatures by an efficient method using Na 2 CO 3 , K 2 CO 3 and Nb 2 O 5 as raw materials and urea as fuel. The phase evolution of the powders was investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and thermo gravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimeter (TG-DSC). The phase composition and morphology of the powders were characterized by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The results reveal that single-phase K 0.5 Na 0.5 NbO 3 powder can be obtained at 550 Β°C by the method. The as-prepared powder is stoichimetric, fine and well-developed.
