Abstract

In this work, an alternative approach to synthesize (K,Na)NbO3 (KNN) particles is investigated. KNN hydrate particles were prepared by hydrothermal method in a mixed alkaline solution with different KOH/(KOH+NaOH) ratios , and phase structure as well as surface morphology of these niobate hydrate particles were systematically studied. For the reaction rate of Na+ is faster than K+, a mixed alkaline solution with K+/Na+ changing from 4/1 to 5/1was required as a starting solution so a to obtain KNN hydrate particles with K/Na=1. Besides, the results show that particle size of KNN hydrate particles synthesized in different starting solution is dependent on K+/Na+ of the starting solution, and grain size of as-sintered KNN ceramics through hydrothermal method decreases sharply.
