Abstract

Mechanochemical synthesis of KxNa1-xNbO3 powders, where x was from 0.1 to 0.9, has been investigated. A novel starting material of Nb(OH)5 with higher reactivity than Nb2O 5 was prepared via wet chemical method. When x = 0.1, the pure perovskite phase was detected. With x increasing, the second phase of K 2Nb8O21 was detected. When x = 0.5, perovskite phase were formed after milling 5h. For purposes of comparison, the starting material of Nb2O5 was also used to synthesize K 0.5Na0.5 NbO3 powders. The morphology of particles was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
