BiNbO4 ceramics doped with V2O5 additive in amount 0.125 wt%, 0.250 wt% and 1 wt% of was sintered at T = 910°C whereas BiNbO4 ceramics doped with 2 wt% of CuO additive was sintered at T = 890°C and T = 910°C. It was found that V2O5 additive improved morphology of the ceramic samples. However, the chemical composition of BiNbO4 ceramics in relation to bismuth oxide and niobium oxide manifested a tendency of lack of Bi2O3 component. Absorption bands for the BiNbO4 compound were identified. FTIR band positions associated with NbO6 octahedra suggested that the crystal structure changes after V2O5 incorporation.}, type={Article}, title={Study of CuO and V2O5 Effect on IR Spectra of Polycrystalline Bismuth Niobate}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/116063/PDF/AMM-2020-2-40-Kuzniarska.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2020.132826}, keywords={BiNbO4, ceramics, SEM, FTIR spectroscopy}, }
