Alkali Niobate Powder Synthesis Using an Emerging Microwave-Assisted Hydrothermal Method.

ABSTRACT: For more than five decades, alkali niobate-based materials (K_xNa_1-xNbO₃) have been one of the most promising lead-free piezoelectric materials researched to be used in electronics, photocatalysis, energy storage/conversion and medical applications, due to their important health and environmentally friendly nature. In this paper, our strategy was to synthetize the nearest reproductible composition to K_xNa_1-xNbO₃ (KNN) with x = 0.5, placed at the limit of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) with the presence of both polymorphic phases, orthorhombic and tetragonal. The wet synthesis route was chosen to make the mix crystal powders, starting with the suspension preparation of Nb₂O<
