Useful:

• Description: Potassium niobate (KNbO3) is an inorganic compound with the formula KNbO3. A colorless solid, it is classified as a perovskite ferroelectric material. It exhibits nonlinear optical properties, and is a component of some lasers. Nanowires of potassium niobate have been used to produce tunable coherent light.
• Uses: 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.
