General description
Potassium niobate (KNbO3, KN) is a perovskite-type well-known ferroelectric material with a wide range of applications in electromechanical, nonlinear optical, frequency doubler, and holographic storage system applications. Single crystal of a KNbO3 is known to have high piezoelectric activity because of its high electromechanical coupling factors. Therefore KN materials have received much interest in the development of lead-free piezoelectric materials.
Application
Potassium niobate can be used to prepare bismuth sodium titanate(BNT)-KN ceramics (BNT–KN ceramics) by the mixed oxide method. The addition of KN to the BNT system increases the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the BNT-KN ceramics. These properties of the ceramic system are suitable for the development of lead-free capacitors. Cu dopped KNbO3 single crystals also found application in semiconductor laser technology because Cu doping resulted in electronic states with near-infrared absorption bands.

The piezoelectric properties and cytotoxicity of a porous lead-free piezoelectric ceramic for use as a direct bone substitute were investigated. Cold isostatic pressing (CIP) was applied to fabricate porous lithium sodium potassium niobate (Li0.06Na0.5K0.44) NbO3 specimens using a pore-forming method.

We have synthesized and characterized three types of perovskite alkaline niobate nanowires: NaNbO(3), KNbO(3), and LiNbO(3) (XNbO(3)). All three types of nanowires exhibit strong nonlinear response. Confocal imaging has been employed to quantitatively compare the efficiency of synthesized nanowires to

(K(x),Na(1-x))NbO(3) (KNN) thin films were deposited on (001)SrRuO(3)/(001)Pt/(001)MgO substrates by RF-magnetron sputtering, and their piezoelectric properties were investigated. The x-ray diffraction measurements indicated that the KNN thin films were epitaxially grown with the c-axis orientation in the perovskite tetragonal system.
