Abstract
- A series of barium zirconate modified potassium sodium niobate-based lead-free piezoelectric ceramics [(0.97-x)(K0.45Na0.55)(Nb0.97Sb0.03)O3-0.03Bi0.5K0.075Na0.425ZrO3-xBaZrO3, KNNS–BKNZ–xBZ, x = 0 ~ 0.02] were prepared by the traditional solid-state method. The effect of BZ on the phase structure and electrical properties was systematically studied. Rhombohedral–orthorhombic–tetragonal multiphase coexistence structure can be observed for the whole ceramic system while the addition of BZ leads to the reduction in the orthorhombic phase content and increase in the rhombohedral and tetragonal phase content. At the critical composition with x = 0.01, the ceramics show the optimized electrical properties with the piezoelectric constant d33 of 265 pC/N, unipolar strain Suni of 0.168%, inverse piezoelectric coefficient d33* of 480 pm/V, room-temperature dielectric constant εr of 1634, and Curie temperature TC of 282 °C. Moreover, enhanced temperature stability was achieved in the x = 0.01 ceramics, presenting the variation of d33 less than 15% within the temperature range of 20–100 °C and the Suni remained above 80% until the elevated temperature of 175 °C.
