Preparation and Properties of Sr2NaNb5O15 Lead-Free Piezoelectric Ceramics by Sol-Gel Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sr2NaNb5O15 ceramic powders have been synthesized by sol-gel method, ceramics were sintered via a pressureless sintering method. The effect of calcining temperature on the phase composition and microstructure of ceramic powders were investigated by TG-DSC, XRD and SEM analyses. The influence of sintering temperature on density, microstructure and properties of the ceramics were systematically analyzed. The results showed that the optimal calcining temperature was 1300°C, the average size of ceramic powders was about 3μm. When the sintering temperature was 1300°C, the ceramics showed optimized densification and electrical properties(ρ=4.663 g/cm3, d33=45 pC/N, εr=1126, tan=0.027, Ec=17.91 kV/cm, Pr=6.72 μC/cm2, Ps=9.45 μC/cm2)
