Effect of calcination conditions on phase formation and particle size of nickel niobate powders synthesized by solid-state reaction

The solid-state mixed oxide method via a rapid vibro-milling technique is explored in the preparation of single-phase nickel niobate (NiNb₂O₆) powders. The formation of the NiNb₂O₆ phase in the calcined powders has been investigated as a function of calcination conditions by TG-DTA and XRD techniques. Morphology, particle size and chemical composition have been determined via a combination of SEM and EDX techniques. It has been found that the minor phases of unreacted NiO and Nb₂O₅ precursors and the Ni₄Nb₂O₉ phase tend to form together with the columbite NiNb₂O₆ phase, depending on calcination conditions. More importantly, it is seen that optimization of calcination conditions can lead to a single-phase NiNb₂O₆ in an orthorhombic phase.

Boosting Piezo-Catalytic Activity of KNN-Based Materials with Phase Boundary and Defect Engineering

Although the piezo-catalysis is promising for the environmental remediation and biomedicine, the piezo-catalytic properties of various piezoelectric materials are limited by low carrier concentrations and mobility, and rapid electron-hole pair recombination, and reported regulating strategies are quite complex and difficult. Herein, a new and simple strategy, integrating phase boundary engineering and defect engineering, to boost the piezo-catalytic activity of potassium sodium niobate ((K, Na)NbO₃, KNN) based materials is innovatively proposed. Tur strategy is validated by exampling 0.96(K_0.48Na_0.52)Nb_0.955Sb_0.045O₃-0.04(Bi_xNa_4-3x)_0.5ZrO₃-0.3%Fe₂O₃ material having phase boundary engineering and conducted the defect engineering via the high-energy sand-grinding. A high reaction rate constant k of 92.49 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹ in the sand-grinding sample is obtained, which is 2.40 times than that of non-sand-grinding one and superior to those of other representative lead-free perovskite piezoelectric materials. Meanwhile, the sand-grinding sample has remarkable bactericidal properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Superior piezo-catalytic activities originate from the enhanced electron-hole pair separation and the increased carrier concentration. This study provides a novel method for improving the piezo-catalytic activities of lead-free piezoelectric materials and holds great promise for harnessing natural energy and disease treatment.

Characteristics of the precursors and their thermal decomposition during the preparation of LiNbO3 thin films by the Pechini method

Lithium niobate thin films have been deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si(100) substrates by Pechini method. Characterization of the initial precursor solutions containing citric acid (CA), niobium and lithium ions has been performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The results indicate that citric acid coordinate to niobium ions to form a niobium-CA complex through one terminal carboxyl group, the hydroxyl group and the central carboxyl group as a tridentate ligand. The thermal decomposition of the Li-Nb precursors gel powder has been studied and the results show that LiNbO₃ phase is formed directly from the thermal decomposition of the precursor gel. By heat-treatment at 600 °C for 2 h, polycrystalline LiNbO₃ thin films with smooth and crack-free surface could be achieved.
