Abstract

Abstract: 0.84(K_0.48Na_0.52)NbO_2.97-0.16K_0.56Li_0.38NbO_2.97 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by multi-layer process. Effects of sintering temperature and holding time on the density, crystal structure, microstructure, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics were investigated. All the ceramics exhibit a coexistence of perovskite and tungsten bronze structure. The ceramics sintered at 1050℃ for 8 min exhibit the largest relative density up to 95%, and the optimized dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and piezoelectric constant of ε_r=618, tanδ=0.027, and d₃₃=112 pC/N, respectively. Moreover, the volatilization of K and Na is inhibited due to the lower sintering temperature and much shorter holding time of the multi-layer process.

Key words: potassium-sodium niobate, lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, multi-layer process, polymorphic phase transition
