Abstract

Single-crystalline K₂Nb₈O₂₁ nanoribbons with width of 100-500 nm and thickness of ca. 30 nm, and length up to tens of micron, have been successfully synthesized by simply calcining Nb₂O₅ powders in molten KCl, and characterized with XRD, SEM, SEM, HRTEM and selected-area electron diffraction technique. The growth direction of the obtained K₂Nb₈O₂₁ nanoribbons was determined to be the 〈1 0 0〉 crystallography direction.
