Abstract: Cubic KNb0.77Al0.23O2.77is initially synthesized by low temperature hydrothermal synthesis, whereas high temperature ceramic method can only produce the orthorhombic phase of the parent KNbO3structure. By tuning the niobium species and KOH concentration, we have obtained orthorhombic KNbO3and an intermediate phase. The cubic product was examined by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. High temperature treatment up to 1000 did not result in phase transition, reflecting a high structural stability. The transport mechanism can be ascribed to the small polarons. However for the orthorhombic counterpart, the discontinuty may be arised from the structural transformation due to the structuraLINstability.
