In order to clarify the Na/K ratios dependence of piezoelectric properties, ( K 1-x Na x) NbO 3 ceramics were prepared by conventional solid-state sintering at x = 0.4–0.6 with a smaller compositional interval (0.02 mol). The results demonstrate that the Na/K ratios have obvious effect on piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of ( K 1-x Na x) NbO 3 ceramics. Piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties show the maximum (d33 = 147 pC/N, kp = 0.40, and Pr = 24 μC/cm2) at x = 0.54, which is not consistent with conventional viewpoint. The reasons should be attributed to the existence of a phase boundary at x = 0.54 mol, which is similar to the morphotropic phase boundary in Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 ceramics.

The microstructural evolution and piezoelectric properties of lead-free ceramics (0.98-x)(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3–x(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3–0.02BaTiO3 (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.98, abbreviated as (0.98-x)NBT–xNKN–0.02BT) were investigated. The effects of the amount of NKN on the crystal structure, microstructural evolution, and piezoelectric properties were examined. The 0.93NBT–0.05NKN–0.02BT ceramics having a lower NKN content gave good performances with piezoelectric properties of d33 = 140 pC/N and kp = 21%, because of the soft additive Nb5+ ions at the B sites. However, a paraelectric cubic phase was observed in the wide range of compositions between x = 0.1 and x = 0.9. At a higher NKN content of x > 0.9, a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between the tetragonal and orthorhombic phases was found in the 0.015NBT–0.965NKN–0.02BT ceramics, and the piezoelectric properties were enhanced (d33 = 135 pC/N, kp = 29%). The piezoelectric properties of this system were closely related to its crystal structure.

Dielectric And Piezoelectric Properties

Lead-based piezoelectric ceramics have excellent piezoelectric properties with the compositions near the rhombohedral-tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary (MPB)[1,2]. In these materials, the dielectric and piezoelectric properties show the maximal values at MPB. For lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, finding the MPB area is a promising way to improve their properties. In this paper, the (1-x-y)BaZrO3-x(K0.45Na0.5Li0.05)NbO3-yBi (Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by solid-state reaction method, and their piezoelectric properties and dielectric properties were investigated. With the increase of KNLN content, the crystal structure changed from rombohedral phase to tetragonal phase, thus existed a MPB[3,4] between rombohedral and tetragonal phase. At room temperature, the specimen with the composition at MPB (x=0.93, y=0.01) shows the optimal piezoelectric properties (d33=225pC/N and kp=45%), which indicates that this material is a potential lead-free piezoceramic.

A lead-free piezoelectric ceramic binary system based on bismuth sodium titanate (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 (BNT)-bismuth potassium titanate (Bi0.5K0.5)TiO3 (BKT) was synthesized by conventional mixed-oxide technique. The XRD analysis showed that the rhombohedral-tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) of the Bi0.5 (Na1-xKx)0.5 TiO3 system was in the composition range of x = 0.16 ~ 0.20. In addition, the piezoelectric properties of this system were also investigated. It was indicated that the piezoelectric properties are better with the compositions near the rhombohedral phase within the MPB than the compositions near the tetragonal phase.

ABSTRACTLead free niobate solid solutions can exhibit piezoelectric properties comparable to that of lead zirconate titanate piezoelectrics in the vicinity of its morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). Here we describe how (Na,K)NbO3 and (Na,K)NbO3-LiTaO3 solid solution thin films can be grown epitaxially by the hydrothermal method at temperatures of 200 °C or below in water and be made ferro- and piezoelectrically active by a simple 2 step post growth treatment.

(1-x)(K0.44Na0.52Li0.04)(Nb0.84Ta0.10Sb0.06)O3-xSrTiO3 (KNNT-ST) lead free piezoelectric ceramics have been synthesized by a solid state reaction method. The effect of SrTiO3 content on the piezoelectric properties, sintering behavior and microstructure of (1-x) KNNT-x ST ceramics was investigated. The experimental results showed that the addition of SrTiO3 can restrain the volatilization of Na ions and K ions and improve relative density of the samples. A morphotropic phase boundary between orthorhombic and tetragonal phases is found in the composition range of 0.03<x<0.05. The piezoelectric properties can be enhanced for (1-x) KNNT-x ST ceramics near the morphotropic phase boundary.

The reasons for the lower piezoelectric properties in the most studied lead-free piezoelectrics, modified (K, Na)NbO 3 and ( Bi 0.5 Na 0.5) TiO 3, are discussed. Contributions from domain wall motion and properties at the morphotropic phase boundary are considered and are compared to those in PZT. Lead-free, non-piezoelectric solutions to electromechanical coupling are discussed.
