Abstract

Abstract: Lead-free (K_0.5Na_0.5)_0.94-2xLi_0.06Sr_xNb_0.98Sb_0.02O₃ (KNLSN-Sr_x; x=0-0.03) piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by conventional solid-state sintering process. The sintering characteristic, the microstructure, dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of KNLSN-Sr_x ceramics were investigated. XRD results show that all samples exhibite a pure perovskite phase with tetragonal symmetry, indicating that the Sr²⁺ has diffused into the KNLSN lattices to form a solid solution. The grain size of KNLSN-Sr_x ceramics was increased with the increasing of Sr-doping level. The proper sintering temperature of KNLSN-Sr_x ceramics shifted to higher temperature with increasing the content of Sb. Higher d₃₃ and kp, lower tanδ and Qm were obtained as Li, Sr and Sb were added into KNN ceramics. The comprehensive good properties of doped (K_0.5Na_0.5)NbO₃ ceramics were obtained when Sr content was 2mol% (d₃₃=130pC/N, k_p=34.5%, tanδ=4.2%).

Key words: lead free piezoelectric, sodium potassium niobate, dielectric constant, piezoelectric constant
