Abstract
The effect of precursor composition and reduction conditions on the characteristics of niobium powders obtained by magnesium reduction were studied. The hypothesis of the possible increase in the specific surface area of the powders by a large factor by using complex oxides as precursors was confirmed. With magnesium niobate Mg4Nb2O9 as the precursor, mesoporous powders, unprecedented in the world, with a specific surface area of up to150 m2 g–1 and an average pore size of 4.6 nm were produced.
