Lead　iron　mobate,　Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O-3　(PFN)　is　an　optimal　material　for　multilayered　ceramic　capacitors　(MLCCs).　Fine　lead　iron　mobate　powders　with　average　size　of　500　not　were　prepared　from　the　precipitation　precursor.　In　the　experiment,　Nb2O5　was　used　as　Nb　source　to　substitute　Nb　alkyloxide　or　oxalate　and　successfully　converted　into　aqueous　Nb5+　solution.　The　results　shows　that　the　perovskite　PFN　was　emerged　at　a　temperature　as　low　as　400　degrees　C,　and　pure　perovskite　was　obtained　at　the　temperature　of　800　degrees　C.　The　formation　of　perovskite　at　a　low　temperature　was　attributed　to　the　core-shell　structure　in　the　precipitates　of　hydroxide.　Besides,　the　particles　of　perovskite　PFN　show　the　good　chemical　stoichiometry　and　small　size　of　300-500　nm.　(c)　2006　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
