Abstract:

In this work, Li0.06(K0.5,Na0.5)0.94NbO3(KNNL) nanofibers were synthesized by sol–gel process and electrospinning technique. The thermal behaviour ofelectrospun fibers was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TG) to obtain the calcination temperature range. The structural phase formation and microstructure were characterized by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The crystal structure was identified by XRD as a single-phase perovskite structure, with orthorhombic symmetry. The microstructure shows that the diameters are in the range of 80–160 nm. The electrospun fibers were calcined from 500°C to 900°C and observed the fiber morphology. With increasing calcination temperature, the fiber diameters decreased until the temperature up to 900 °C the morphology change from cylinder to square or rectangular shape grains.
