Popis: Lead-free (1-x)(K0,48Na0,48Li0,04)(Nb0,95Sb0,05)O3-xBi0.5(Na0.82K0.18)0.5ZrO3 (KNLNS-xBNKZ) piezoelectric ceramics (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.1) were successfully prepared by the two-step sintering method. The effects of different BNKZ contents on the crystal structure, ferroelectric phase transition, and electrical properties of the as-prepared ceramics were systematically researched. The ceramics with a perovskite structure possessed an orthorhombic phase (space group = Amm2) at x = 0, a mixed orthorhombic-tetragonal phase (Amm2 + P4/mbm) at x = 0.02, a mixed rhombohedral-tetragonal (R-T) phase (R3m + P4/mbm) at x = 0.04–0.06, and a rhombohedral phase (R3m) at x>0.06. At x = 0.04 (rhombohedral and tetragonal (R-T) phases coexisted), the ceramics manifested the best electrical properties with d33 = 224 pC/N, kp = 0.44, kt = 0.47, TC = 218oC, and remanent polarization (Pr) = 11.5µC/cm2. The improvement of the electrical properties of KNLNS-BNKZ ceramics was achieved by controlling their phase compositions and microstructures.
