Abstract: Lead-free (0.996–x)KNN-0.004BM-xLS (x=0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06) ceramics were prepared by the traditional ceramic sintering processing. The effect of LS content on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of KNN-BM lead-free ceramics was investigated. The results show that the ceramics have a single orthorhombic phase structure when x≤0.02, a co-existed phases orthorhombic and tetragonal phases structure at 0.03≤x≤0.05, and a single tetragonal phase structure at x=0.06. The morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) for the ceramics is identified in the composition range of 0.03≤x≤0.05. With increasing the LS content, both d33 and kp of the ceramics firstly increase and then decrease. At x=0.05, d33 and kp reach their maximum values which are 230 pC/N and 0.42, respectively. The To-t and Tc of the ceramics shift to the low temperature with the increasing of the LS content. The To-t and Tc of the ceramics are 455 and 215℃ at x=0, 385 and 150℃ at x=0.02, 370 and 75℃ at x=0.06, respectively.
