Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics lithium sodium potassium niobate (LixNayK1-x-y)NbO3 (LNKN100x/100y) have been synthesized by a conventional solid state process. The effects of MnO2 addition on the properties of (LixNayK1-x-y)NbO3(x=0.06, y=0.5)(LNKN6/50) ceramics were investigated. It was found that a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between orthorhombic and tetragonal phases is in the composition range 0.05<x<0.07. The piezoelectric constant d33 and the planar electromechanical coefficient kp of LNKN6/50 ceramics reach 222pC/N and 39%, respectively. As the amount of MnO2- doped increases, dielectric constant, piezoelectric constant and Curie temperature Tc of LNKN:Mn ceramics decreased, while mechanical quality factor Qm of LNKN6/50:Mn increased prominently compared to pure LNKN6/50 ceramics. The addition of MnO2 can also decrease the sintering temperature effectively of LNKN6/50 ceramics.

K0.5Na0.5NbO3-based ceramics, a promising group of lead-free piezoelectrics, are challenging to sinter dense while avoiding alkali evaporation. This work explores hybrid atmosphere processing, a new approach where reducing atmospheres is used during heating to avoid coarsening from alkali carbonates and hydroxides, and oxidizing atmospheres is used during sintering to avoid alkali evaporation. Discs of Li0.06(K0.52Na0.48)0.94Nb0.71Ta0.29O3 with 0.25 mol% Mn (KNNLTM) were sintered in air, N2, 9% H2 in N2, or 9% H2 in N2 during heating and air during sintering (hybrid atmosphere processing). The highest density was obtained by sintering in 9% H2 in N2, but resulted in high alkali loss and decomposition of the surface, followed by low piezoelectric response. However, with the hybrid H2/air processing it was possible to both avoid surface decomposition and leakage currently associated with alkali evaporation during sintering in H2, and to obtain a denser, more phase-pure and small-grained KNNLTM ceramic with a higher piezoelectric response than obtained by sintering in air or N2.
