Abstract
In the research, the properties of potassium sodium niobate – barium titanate [(1-x)K0.02Na0.98NbO3–(x)BaTiO3: (1-x)KNN–(x)BT] ceramics prepared by molten salt method with various molecular weight of BT or x are 0 and 0.05 were investigated. The calcined powders of pure K0.02Na0.98NbO3 and (0.95) K0.02Na0.98NbO3-(0.05) BaTiO3 were pressed and sintered at 1250 – 1325 °C and 1225 – 1300 °C for 2h, respectively. It was found that, the samples showed phase structure changing from monoclinic to orthorhombic with small amount BaTiO3 addition. The densification of K0.02Na0.98NbO3 ceramics and dielectric properties were improved with the addition of BaTiO3. The (0.95)K0.02Na0.98NbO3–(0.05)BaTiO3 ceramics sintered at 1250 °C showed maximum density and dielectric constant (∼8035), which was even comparable with that of K0.02Na0.98NbO3 ceramics sintered at 1225 – 1300 °C.
