Abstract
The piezoelectric properties of multi-element doped (K, Na)NbO3 ceramics are close to that of lead-based systems and expected to become environmentally friendly substitutes. To reduce the types of doped elements and achieve the repeated preparation of high-performance ceramics, we synthesized the Li-doped (K, Na)NbO3 particles with high crystallinity and chemical stability by molten salt method. Different from the traditional method, the microcrystals were obtained by recrystallization of the Li-doped (K, Na)NbO3 powder synthesized by solid state reaction in molten KCl and NaCl salts. The effects of the calcination temperature on phase structure, size and morphology of microcrystals were investigated. It was found that doping of Li+ could stabilize the crystal structure of (K, Na)NbO3 so that no other heterophase was formed in the molten salts. The crystallization growth of microcrystals was controlled by oriented attachment mechanism. The thermal hysteresis loops of dielectric properties confirmed that the synthesized microcrystals had high chemical stability. This work will provide ideal raw materials for the development of high performance potassium sodium niobate ceramics.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
