    The microwave-assisted solution combustion synthesis was developed for application with initially synthesized thermochromic perovskite manganese oxide La0.75Ca0.25MnO<inf>3</inf> nano-powders. Dry and very fine powders were obtained after one-step combustion reaction for less than 10 min in a modified domestic microwave oven. The thermal behavior, phase formation and purity of the precursor, and as-synthesized and calcined powders, were investigated by TGA/DTA, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FT-IR techniques. The morphology of the powder obtained was characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The XRD pattern and FT-IR results showed that as-synthesized La <inf>0.75</inf>Ca<inf>0.25</inf>MnO<inf>3</inf> powders were crystalline, and the monophasic perovskite phase occurred with an average crystallite size of 30.46 ± 5.54 nm for 6 h at a relatively low calcination temperature of 900°C. The small particle size obtained by SEM suggested a high specific surface area and high sinterability. This method was found to be simple, rapid and cheap, and an effective way to prepare nano-size perovskite powders. © 2014 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

    Potassium sodium niobate (K1/<inf>2</inf>Na1/<inf>2</inf>NbO<inf>3</inf>) powder was synthesized successfully by the combustion synthesis. The raw materials of KNO<inf>3</inf>, NaNO<inf>3</inf> and Nb<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf> were used with glycine as fuel. The thermal behaviour of the precursor was determined using thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and derivative thermo gravimetric (DTG) analysis. The conditions for preparing perovskite phase formation, influence of the fuel-to-oxidizer molar ratio, and crystal structure were characterized by the X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The morphology and particle size were investigated through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
