Popis: Barium titanate (BT) - potassium niobate (KN) nano-structured ceramics with an artificial morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) structure were prepared by a solvothermal method at temperatures below 230 °C. Various characterizations of the BT-KN nano-structured ceramics revealed that the BT/KN molar ratio was 1, the porosity was around 30 %, and the interface between BT particles and KN crystals was heteroepitaxial. The apparent piezoelectric constant d33* was 136 pC/N, which was three times larger than that of 0.5BT-0.5KN dense composite ceramics. The concept proposed in this study can be useful to create piezoelectric ceramics with artificial MPB regions.
