Abstract

This Reply mainly deals with the scientific description of the comments on the structure of the published ceramic KBiMn₂O₅. The developed material was prepared using a standard ceramic technology (high-temperature solid-state reaction technique). The high-purity ingredients (K₂CO₃, Bi₂O₃, and Mn₂O₃) were taken stoichiometrically to create a single-phase compound. The prominent X-ray diffraction pattern also matched with Bi₁₂MnO₂₀ (JCPDS 01-082-1024) and K₂Mn₄O₈ (JCPDS 00-016-0205) phases. The presence of dual phases is already written in the published article. In this Reply, we reanalyze this information. We do not agree with the statements made in the Comment.
