    Nano-crystalline sodium niobate (NaNbO<inf>3</inf>) powder was synthesized by the solution combustion synthesis of sodium nitrate (NaNO<inf>3</inf>) and Nb<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf> using glycine as the fuel. The chemical reaction, nucleation mechanisms and influence of the fuel-to-oxidizer ratio to phase formation were studied. The precursor and product powders were characterized, using thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), the X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. As-prepared powder possesses an orthorhombic crystal structure with an X-ray diffraction pattern that could be matched with the perovskite, NaNbO<inf>3</inf> JCPDS no. 82-0606. Perovskite NaNbO<inf>3</inf> phase, with a mean crystalline size (calculated by X-ray line broadening) ranging from 44.51 ± 11.99 nm (ratio of 0.7) to 26.11 ± 13.69 nm (ratio of 2.0) was obtained. The SEM image shows polyhedral-shaped powder with a mean particle size of 137 ± 52 nm and 226 ± 46 nm for as-prepared and calcined powder, respectively. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
