Abstract: Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics lithium sodium potassium niobate (LixNayK1-x-y)NbO3
(LNKN100x/100y) have been synthesized by a conventional solid state process. The effects of MnO2
addition on the properties of (LixNayK1-x-y)NbO3(x=0.06, y=0.5)(LNKN6/50) ceramics were investigated.
It was found that a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between orthorhombic and tetragonal phases is
in the composition range 0.05

Abstract: XRD, SEM, bulk density and dielectric properties measurements were used to investigate the
effect of TiO2 nanopowder substitution for conventional TiO2 micro-powder on the sintering and electric
properties of PZT ceramics. Results revealed that the sintering temperature of dense Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3
ceramics was lowered about 50°C ~ 100°C when 20% and 40% of conventional TiO2 micro-powder was
substituted by TiO2 nanopowder. The electric properties were kept or even enhanced in the PZT ceramics
adopted the TiO2 nanopowder.

Abstract: 0.85(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-0.144(K0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-0.006BaTiO3(0.85NBT-0.144KBT-0.006BT) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics was prepared by conventional ceramic technique. The influence of La2O3 doping amount and CeO2 doping amount on properties , crystal structure and surface topography of 0.85NBT-0.144KBT-0.006BT ceramics were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and other analytic methods. It shows that all compositions show the characteristics of pure perovskite structure solid states, La2O3 and CeO2 doping only changes crystal cell dimension rather than crystal structure. The piezoelectric strain constant (d33) starts increasing and then decreasing, the dielectric constant (εT33/ε0) increases, the dielectric loss (tanδ) starts increasing and then decreasing and then increasing while La2O3 doping amount increasing. d33 and εT33/ε0 of ceramics starts increasing and then decreasing, tanδ decreases while CeO2 doping amount increasing . When the La2O3 doping amount is up to 0.4 wt.%, the doped samples show good performances with d33=151 pC/N, εT33/ε0=1543 and tanδ=4.3%. When the CeO2 doping amount is 0.1 wt.%, the doped samples show good performances with d33=156 pC/N, εT33/ε0=1364 and tanδ=3.8%. La2O3 doping promotes crystal grain growth, CeO2 doping makes grain crystal size uniform, changes tetragonal into granular structure and restrains crystal grain growth.

Abstract: Lead-free K0.5Na0.5NbO3-xwt% (0.4ZnO-0.6B2O3) ceramics were synthesized by conventional ceramics process. The co-doping of ZnO and B2O3 can decrease the sintering temperature of K0.5Na0.5NbO3 ceramics to 1000°C, and the samples show high relative density around 96%. X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals that Co-doping of ZnO and B2O3 induces lattice distortion. Liquid phase is observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which is resulted from the addition of ZnO and B2O3. The ceramics show better piezoelectric and dielectric properties with planar electromechanical coupling factor kp= 40.7%, piezoelectric constant d33=117pC/N, dielectric constant εT33/ε0=318.6, and loss tangent tanδ=0.034.
