Abstract:

Li-doped (Na, K)NbO3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with nominal composition of [Li0.065(Na0.535K0.48)0.95]NbO3 were prepared by normal sintering method, and its phase structure, microstructure and electric properties were studied with a special emphasis on the influence of sintering temperature in the range of 950-1020 oC. The result of XRD analysis indicates that a polymorphic phase transition (PPT) separating orthorhombic and tetragonal phases was found at the temperature of 950 oC, whereby enhanced piezoelectric properties of d33=255 pC/N and kp= 44.5% were obtained although the density was low. Our study indicates that the importance of PPT for enhancing electric properties in niobate-based ceramics at low temperature.
