Nano-sized Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 (SBN50) ceramic powders have been synthesized by an aqueous organic gel route. Homogeneous Sr-Ba-Nb precursor gels are prepared with Ba-EDTA, Sr-EDTA, and Nb-citrate complex as source of Sr, Ba, and Nb, respectively. Citric acid and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were used as the chelating agents. The structural variation of the SBN powder with annealing temperature was studied by TG-DTA, FT-IR and XRD. The precursor gel on calcination at 800 degreesC for 2 h produces a pure tungsten bronze SBN phase and the corresponding average particle size is 30-50 nm. The influences of the pH and the molar ratio of citric acid:Nb cation on the formation of homogeneous Sr-Ba-Nb precursor gels were also studied. The results show that a homogeneous Sr-Ba-Nb precursor gel with no precipitate is formed at pH 8 and the optimum molar ratio of citric acid and the metal cations is 3:1. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
