Abstract:

In this paper, the KNN powders with Li+ substituted (K0.5Na0.5)+ were prepared by the sol-gel method in order to make powders pure, (Na0.50+xK0.50-2xLix) -NbO3 (x=0, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08) ceramics were prepared by pressureless sintering. The phase composition of powders was determined by XRD. The effects of the Li+ substitution on piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of ceramics were systematically studied for determining optimal Li+ content. Li+ can significantly increase the piezoelectric constant of ceramic. When Li+ content was 0.04, piezoelectric properties of ceramics were the best, d33=115 pC/N, Pr=6.35 μC/cm2, Ec=14.24 kV/cm.
