Various KNbO3 powders have been derived from sol-gel process by using different preparation and heating conditions. KNbO3 powder derived from ethanol solution and fabricated at 800oC was most suitable as the raw material of KNbO3 bulk ceramics, because of the small grain size of about 250 nm and its homogeneous size distribution.
