Sodium
Niobate Market: Overview
Sodium
niobate is a naturally occurring white crystal. It is odorless and
soluble in water, but insoluble in alcohol. Sodium niobate powder
includes sodium niobate particles in the shape of a cuboid. Sodium
niobate is a lead-free ceramic polymer material that exhibits
piezoelectric property. In general, the piezoelectric properties of
sodium niobate crystals can be demonstrated only after the temporary
application of a strong electric field. The method of producing
sodium niobate powder includes the holding of alkali dispersion
liquid containing niobium and sodium component at 0.1 MPa pressure
and temperature of 500°C to 700°C. This isolates solid matter from
aqueous dispersion liquid. Some sodium niobate crystals also exhibit
high mechanical quality and vibration levels, making them a promising
replacement for high-power-resonance applications such as
piezoelectric transformers and lead-based ceramics. Sodium niobate is
used majorly in experimental and research-based applications. It is
used comparatively less than its allied counterparts, sodium
potassium niobate and lithium niobate.

Sodium
niobate with lithium exhibits dielectric and pyroelectric properties
with large thermal hysteresis. Sodium niobate is extensively used in
gold mines, dyeing processes, chemical laboratories, oil field
chemicals, and drilling fluids.
Sodium
Niobate: Market Dynamics and Trends
Sodium
niobate acts as a reactant or reagent for the preparation of niobium
sodium strontium oxides, tin niobate, and triple layered Aurivillius
phase photo catalysts. Alkaline niobates, such as sodium niobate with
potassium, are considered lead-free substitutes of some of the most
important ferroelectrics and piezoelectric such as lead zirconium
titanium oxide. High curie temperatures and high electromechanical
coupling coefficients are important properties of sodium niobate.
Increasing
awareness about environment and health threats of lead as well as
environmental legislation around the world has targeted at decreasing
the use of hazardous substances in electrical appliances and products
has reinvigorated the race to develop lead-free alternatives to lead
zirconate titanate (PZT), which presently dominates the market for
piezoelectric materials. Emphasis has been placed on one of the most
likely piezoelectric materials, potassium sodium niobate (KNN), as a
lead-free replacement for PZT. Sodium potassium niobate has been
speculated to have better environmental credentials and is considered
“greener” replacement to PZT.
The
texturization of potassium sodium niobate ceramics in the presence of
copper oxide and magnesium oxides is the current market trend for use
of sodium niobate as a replacement for lead in piezoelectric devices.
Lead-free ferroelectric properties of potassium sodium niobate and
aqueous based electrophoretic deposition were successfully
demonstrated for eco-friendly aqueous solution of potassium sodium
niobate. This coating was successfully used on platinum substrates
with improved electromechanical performance.
