Popis: In this study, the effects of calcination temperature (600–900°C for 2 h) and sintering temperature (1100–1200°C for 2 h) on phase formation, microstructure and electrical properties of new 0.94(Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3)-0.06(Ba0.945Ca0.055)(Ti0.91Sn0.09)O3 (0.94BNT-0.06BCTS) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were investigated. These ceramics were fabricated by the solid state combustion technique using glycine as fuel. It was found that single perovskite phase of 0.94BNT-0.06BCTS powders is obtained by the sample calcined at 650°C for 2 h. The microstructure of the 0.94BNT-0.06BCTS powders showed an almost-circle shape and the average particle size increased from 218 to 298 nm when the calcination temperature was increased from 600 to 900°C. The XRD pattern of all ceramics presented a single perovskite structure with the co-existence of the rhombohedral and tetragonal phase. The average grain size increased with increasing sintering temperature. The density, dielectric constant (at Tr and Tm) and piezoelect...
