Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 12Synthesis of Potassium-Sodium Niobate (Knn) From Nbo2(Elsevier, 2021) Piskin, Cerem; Karacasulu, Levent; Bortolotti, Mauro; Vakifahmetoglu, CekdarKxNa1-xNbO3 (0 < x < 1) were synthesized via hydrothermal method using niobium dioxide (NbO2) as the niobium source instead of the most common one, Nb2O5. Potassium-rich KxNa1-xNbO3 (x > 0.5) was obtained from 8 M total hydroxide concentration after 6 h of reaction at 200 degrees C. Rietveld refinement of the XRD data revealed that all samples exhibited the secondary NaNbO3 phase. However, the lowest amount (3.74 vol%) was obtained for 24 h of reaction under 10 M alkaline solution. After 3 h of reaction, dodecahedra shaped hexaniobate phase (KxNa8-xNb6O19.nH(2)O) was observed. Those structures were, subsequently, replaced by similar to 3 mu m cube shaped KNN crystals, obtained under 10 M reaction in 24 h time period.
