Abstract: | A simple coprecipitation technique has been used successfully for the preparation of pure, ultrafine, single phases of NaNbO3 (NN) and NaTaO3 (NT). An alcoholic solution of ammonium carbonate and ammonium hydroxide was used to precipitate Na+ and Nb5+ (or Ta5+) cations under basic conditions as carbonate and hydroxide, respectively. On heating at 700°C, these precursors produce respective
products. For comparison, both NN and NT powders were also prepared by the traditional solid state method. The phase purity
and lattice parameters were studied by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The particle size and morphology were studied by scanning
electron microscopy (SEM). |
