Abstract
Potassium-sodium niobate (Na, K)NbO3 (NKN) powder was synthesized at low temperature via microwave-assisted hydrothermal solovthermal method (MHSM). The resultant powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). XRD results showed that pure (Na, K)NbO3 powder with a single perovskite structure was successfully synthesized when the concentration of mineralization exceeded 1 M. In order to reduce the volatilization of alkaline elements, NKN ceramics derived from 5M-powder were prepared in a microwave furnace. Microstructure, stoichiometry, and electrical properties of the obtained ceramics were investigated. The piezoelectric coefficient (d33), electromechanical coupling coefficient (kp) and remnant polarization (Pr) of the sample sintered at 1050 ℃ show optimal values of 132 pC/N, 38% and 26.3 µC/cm2, respectively. The results indicate that the microwave heating is a promising method for synthesizing and sintering NKN-based ceramics.
