Popis: Large plate-like Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 (NBT) templates have been successfully synthesized from bismuth layer-structured ferroelectric Na 0.5 Bi 4.5 Ti 4 O 15 (NBIT) particles by the topochemical method. Because of the highly anisotropic structure, plate-like NBIT particles were first synthesized by the molten-salt process. After the topochemical reaction with the complementary reactants (Na 2 CO 3 , and TiO 2 ) in NaCl flux, the layer-structured NBIT particles were transformed to the perovskite NBT templates. The resulting NBT templates are large and of plate-like shape. Our results also reveal that they are more effective in inducing grain orientation in the BNKT-BT ceramics as compared with BIT templates. For a BNKT-BT ceramic textured with 20 wt% of NBT templates, it exhibits a very high degree of grain orientation and gives a large Lotgering factor of 0.89.
