Abstract
A sol-gel process for lithium niobate using lithium ethoxide and niobium ethoxide precursors was investigated. Nitric acid and acetic acid were used as catalysts, respectively. The crystallization characteristics of the sol-gel-derived lithium niobate is influenced intensively by catalysts, and the crystallization of LiNbO3 from the nitric-acid-catalyzed sol-gel can occur at a low temperature near to 300 ‡C.
