Abstract:
In this work, we elucidate the influence of Bi0.5Li0.5ZrO3(BLZ) content on the phase structure, microstructure, and electrical properties of (1 - x)K0.40Na0.60Nb0.965Sb0.O-035(3)-xBi(0.5)Li(0.5)ZrO(3) lead-free ceramics. We simultaneously achieved a giant d(33) and a high T-c in this material system. The coexistence of rhombohedral and tetragonal phases is responsible for such a large d(33) in the ceramics with BLZ contents (x) ranging from 0.025 to 0.035. Doping with BLZ not only induces the formation of the phase boundary, but also maintains a high T-c. The ceramic with x = 0.03 shows an enhanced piezoelectric behaviour (d(33) similar to 400 pC N-1 and K-p similar to 0.47) together with a high T-c of 292 degrees C. A good temperature stability for ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity is also observed in these ceramics. This study is the first time that such a good comprehensive performance has been obtained in potassium-sodium niobate materials. We believe that this type of material system possessing giant-d(33) and high-T-c is a promising candidate for use in high-temperature piezoelectric devices.
