摘要
A study on the effects of prolonged heating under reflux conditions of up to 70 h on alkoxides of sodium, potassium and niobium dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol for the synthesis of sols of composition Na0.5K0.5NbO3(NKN) has been carried out using combined thermogravimetric-Fourier transform infrared Spectroscopic analyses. Extended refluxing increases the homogeneity of the Na0.5K0.5NbO3 (NKN) system. Spectroscopic analyses on the non-refluxed and 70 h refluxed NKN gels reveal the existence of inorganic hydrated carbonates and bicarbonates, which we propose arise from the hydration and carbonation of the samples on standing in air. The X-ray diffraction patterns of these two types of gels show orthorhombic NKN phase evolutions at higher temperatures. Crown Copyright (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
