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.

Structure Synthesis

In this review, the crystal structure and the synthesis of the sodium potassium niobate ( K 0.5 Na 0.5 NbO 3) as a promising candidate for lead-free piezoelectrics are addressed. The sintering and the microstructure as prerequisites for obtaining ceramics with reliable and sufficiently high piezoelectric properties for selected applications are discussed.

Pure Phase

Sodium potassium niobate (NKN) powders were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The NKN ceramics for composition Na0.92K0.08NbO3 (NKN) were then fabricated by a two-step sintering technique. The effects of the two-step sintering on the properties of the ceramics were investigated. The pure phase NKN was achieved for all sintering temperatures of 1100, 1150, 1200 and 1250?C. The observed change in the microstructure indicates that the grain size increases with the increasing sintering temperatures. Also, the two-step sintering technique produced a higher value of K/(K+Na) weight-% ratio and peak dielectric constant for sintering temperatures 1100, 1150 and 1200?C. However, further increasing of the sintering temperatures at 1250?C, reduces the K/(K+Na) weight-% ratio and the peak dielectric constant (?c).
