Low Sintering Temperature for Li-, Sb-, and Ta- Modified (K,Na)NbO₃-Based Ceramics from Nanopowders

Abstract:

In this paper, (Na_0.52K_0.44Li_0.04)(Nb_0.86Ta_0.06Sb_0.08)O₃ (LTS-KNN) ultrafine-grained ceramic were fabricated over a low and wide temperature range, by using the nanopowder prepared from a water-based sol-gel method. nanopowders are demonstrated to be suitable for preparing fine-grained potassium-sodium niobate ceramics with desirable properties.
