Popis: | 0.92(Na0.51K0.49−x Li x )NbO3–0.02Bi0.5K0.5TiO3–0.06BaZrO3 (x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, and 0.05) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by solid state reaction route. The effect of Li doping amount on the structure and electrical properties of the ceramics were investigated. All ceramics had pure perovskite structure, while the crystallographic symmetry changed from rhombohedral to tetragonal with the increase of Li doping amount. A PZT-like morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) with the coexistence of rhombohedral and tetragonal phases was identified in the composition of x = 0.03. As expected, the ceramics of the MPB composition showed optimal properties: piezoelectric coefficient d 33 = 227 pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling coefficient k p = 39.3 %, dielectric permittivity $$ \varepsilon_{33}^{T} /\varepsilon_{0} $$ = 1,640, dielectric loss tanδ = 2.0 %, remnant polarization P r = 13.3 μC/cm2, coercive field E c = 1.53 kV/mm, and Curie temperature T c = 253 °C. Together with good temperature stability to 200 °C, this KNN-based lead-free ceramics should be very promising for practical applications. |
