BiCoO3-doped (K0.475Na0.475Li0.05)(Nb0.8Ta0.2)O3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics

(1--x)(K_0.475Na_0.475Li_0.05)(Nb_0.8Ta_0.2)O₃--xBiCoO₃ (KNLNT--BC) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state sintering method. Effects of the BC content on the phase structure, microstructure and electrical properties of KNLNT--BC ceramics were investigated. XRD patterns reveal that all the ceramic samples are in the pure perovskite-type structure, and the phase structure changes from the tetragonal to pseudo-cubic phase with the increase of the BC content. After the substitution of BC, the grain size is significantly reduced and relaxer behaviors are induced. By adding a small amount of BC to KNLNT ceramics, piezoelectric properties are improved, while further addition of BC makes the piezoelectric properties deteriorate markedly. The optimized electrical properties at x = 0.005 are as follows: d₃₃ = 194 pC/N, k_p = 0.44.     

Ca2+ doping effects in (K,Na, Li)(Nb0.8Ta0.2)O3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics

Lead-free (K_0.5−x/2Na_0.5−x/2Li_x)(Nb_0.8Ta_0.2)O₃ (KNLNT) and (K_0.49−x/2Na_0.49−x/2- Li_xCa_0.01)(Nb_0.8Ta_0.2)O₃ (KNLNT-Ca) ceramics were prepared by a conventional ceramic processing. Structural analysis shows that the Ca²⁺ doping takes the A site of ABO₃ perovskite and decreases the phase transition temperature. Property measurements reveal that as a donor dopant, the Ca²⁺ doping results in higher room-temperature dielectric constant, lower dielectric loss, and lower mechanical quality factor. In addition, the Ca²⁺ doping does not change the positive piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃, but increases the converse piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃^* significantly. This is likely due to the increase in the relaxation, as well as the appearance of (Ca_Na/K^•--V_Na/K′) defect dipoles.     

SmAlO3-modified (K0.5Na0.5)0.95Li0.05Sb0.05Nb0.95O3 lead-free ceramics with a wide sintering temperature range

Lead-free ceramics (1 − x)(K_0.5Na_0.5)_0.95Li_0.05Sb_0.05Nb_0.95O₃-xSmAlO₃ (KNLNS-xSA) were prepared by conventional sintering technique. The phase structure, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics were investigated. All compositions show a main perovskite structure, exhibiting room-temperature symmetries of tetragonal at x ≤ 0.0075, of pseudo-cubic at x = 0.0100. The Curie temperature of KNLNS-xSA ceramics decreases with increasing SmAlO₃ content. Moreover, the addition of SmAlO₃ can effectively broaden the sintering temperature range of the ceramics. The KNLNS-xSA ceramic with x = 0.0050 has an excellent electrical behavior of piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃ = 226 pC/N, planar mode electromechanical coupling coefficient k_p = 38%, dielectric loss tan δ = 3.0%, mechanical quality factor Q_m = 60, and Curie temperature T_C = 327 °C, suggesting that this material could be a promising lead-free piezoelectric candidate for piezoelectric applications.     

Influence of sintering temperature on piezoelectric properties of (K0.4425Na0.52Li0.0375)(Nb0.8925Sb0.07Ta0.0375)O3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics

Microstructure characteristics, phase transition, and electrical properties of (K_0.4425Na_0.52Li_0.0375) (Nb_0.8925Sb_0.07Ta_0.0375)O₃ (KNLNST) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics prepared by normal sintering were investigated with an emphasis on the influence of sintering temperature. The microstructure and piezoelectric, ferroelectric, and dielectric properties were investigated, with a special emphasis on the influence of sintering temperature from 1,100 to 1,140 °C. Orthorhombic phases mainly exist in the ceramics sintered at 1,100–1,130 °C, whereas the tetragonal phase becomes dominant when sintering temperature is above 1,130 °C. Because of the existence of MPB-like transitional behavior, the piezoelectric coefficient (d ₃₃), electromechanical coupling coefficient (kp), and dielectric constant (ε) show peak values of 304pC/N, 0.48, and 1,909, respectively, which are obtained in the sample sintered at 1,120 °C, and its Curie temperature (T _C) is about 271 °C.     

Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of alkaline-earth titanate doped (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 ceramics

(K_0.5Na_0.5)NbO₃ (KNN) and 0.995(K_0.5Na_0.5)NbO₃-0.005AETiO₃ (AE = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) were successfully prepared by conventional ceramic processing and without the cold-isostatic-pressing (CIP) process. The effects of low AETiO₃ (AET) concentration on crystal structure, density, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the KNN based ceramics were evaluated. The results show that adding MgTiO₃(MT) and BaTiO₃(BT) to KNN can lead to the appearance of a trace amount of second phase(s), reduced density and deteriorated electrical properties. Adding CaTiO₃(CT) and SrTiO₃(ST) to KNN can promote densification and optimize electrical properties. Two phase transitions at T_t-o ( the temperature at which the phase transition from orthorhombic to tetragonal occurs) and T_c (the Curie temperature) were observed in KNN and all KNN-AET ceramics, by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis and dielectric characterization. Adding AET to KNN caused the variations of T_t-o and T_c.     

(K,Na)NbO3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics synthesized from hydrothermal powders

Among various lead-free piezoelectric materials, (K,Na)NbO₃ is a very promising candidate. In this study, (K,Na)NbO₃ ceramics were sintered from mixed KNbO₃ and NaNbO₃ powders prepared by hydrothermal reaction. These two powders were mixed with distilled water in a KNbO₃/NaNbO₃ molar ratio of 1. After sintering the mixed powder, the solid solution of (Na,K)NbO₃ ceramics was obtained. The electrical properties such as the electromechanical coupling factors k_p and k₃₃, the mechanical quality factor, Q_m, and the piezoelectric constant d₃₃ of the sintered (K,Na)NbO₃ ceramics were 0.32, 0.48, 71 (radial mode), 118 ((33)mode), and 107 pC/N, respectively.     

Effect of BiFeO3 additions on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of (K0.44Na0.52Li0.04)(Nb0.84Ta0.1Sb0.06)O3 ceramics

(1 − x) (K_0.44Na_0.52Li_0.04)(Nb_0.84Ta_0.1Sb_0.06)O₃ − x BiFeO₃ (x = 0, 0.002, 0.004, 0.006, 0.008, 0.01) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the conventional ceramic processing. The compositional dependence of the phase structure and the electrical properties of the ceramics were studied. A morphotropic phase boundary between the orthorhombic and tetragonal phases was identified in the composition range of 0.004 < x < 0.006. The ceramics near the morphotropic phase boundary exhibit a strong compositional dependence and enhanced piezoelectric properties. The ceramics with 0.6 mol.% BiFeO₃ exhibit good electrical properties (d₃₃ ∼ 246 pC/N, k_p ∼ 43%, T_c ∼ 285 °C, ?_r ∼ 1871, and tan δ ∼ 1.96%). These results show that the (1 − x) (K_0.44Na_0.52Li_0.04)(Nb_0.84Ta_0.1Sb_0.06)O₃ − x BiFeO₃ ceramic is a promising lead-free piezoelectric material for applications in different devices.     

Origin of high mechanical quality factor in CuO-doped （K,Na）NbO3-based ceramics

The origin of a high mechanical quality in CuO-doped （K, Na）NbO3-based ceramics is addressed by considering the correlations between the lattice positions of Cu ions and the hardening effect in K0.48Na0.52＋xNbO3-0.01CuO ceramics. The Cu ions simultaneously occupy K/Na and Nb sites of these ceramics with x = 0 and 0.02, only occupy the K/Na site of the ceramics with x= -0.02, and mostly form a secondary phase of the ceramics with x = -0.05. The Cu ions lead to the hardening of ceramics with an increase of Ec and Qm by only occupying the K/Na site, together with the formation of double hysteresis loops in un-poled compositions. A defect model is proposed to illuminate the origin of a high Qm value, that is, the domain stabilization is dominated by the content of relatively mobile O2- ions in the ceramics, which has a weak bonding with CUK/Na defects.     

Depolarization temperature and piezoelectric properties of Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-Na1/2Bi1/2(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramics by two-stage calcination method

A new group of NBT-based lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, Na_1/2Bi_1/2TiO₃-Na_1/2Bi_1/2(Zn_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃, was synthesized using the two-stage calcination method and depolarization temperatures and piezoelectric properties were also investigated. The XRD analysis showed that the ceramics system had a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between the rhombohedral and the tetragonal structure. The highest piezoelectric properties of d ₃₃ = 97 pC/N and k _t = 0·46 were obtained near MPB compositions. Furthermore, the depolarization temperatures near MPB compositions were slightly decreased and the lowest T _d was maintained at 210°C.
