Niobium (V) Pentoxide Ceramic Powder Reference

Nb2O5 nanosize powders prepared by sol–gel–Structure, morphology and dielectric properties

Abstract: The niobium oxide is currently used in the manufacture of relevant technological components, due to its physical characteristics such as the high dielectric constant, the reduced ignition and the high stability of electrical parameters. Their wide availability in nature and low extraction costs are also significant advantages. However, and as it is known, the properties of the niobium oxide powders are strongly dependent on the raw material and on the synthesis route used. Thus, in the present work, Nb2O5 amorphous powders prepared by the sol–gel technique and their crystalline structures, through a controlled heat-treatment process, were analysedThe sentence ‘Thus…analysed’ has been slightly modified for clarity.
