Abstract
To obtain lead-free 0.5Ba (Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3-0.5(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 ceramics with excellent microstructure and electrical properties, BZT-BCT ceramics doping Mn4+ and Nb5+ was synthesized follow a conventional solid state reaction route. By means of SEM, XRD, quasi-static d33 meter, the influence of sintering temperature on microstructure, piezoelectric and dielectric properties of BZT-BCT-Mn-Nb ceramics was discussed. The results show that grain size and the dielectric loss of BZT-BCT-Mn-Nb ceramics increase as raising the sintering temperature. When BZT-BCT-Mn-Nb ceramics is sintered at 1380°C, the optimum piezoelectric coefficient and dielectric constant are 264pC/N and 4142, respectively.
