Abstract
The piezoelectric, electrocaloric and energy storage properties were systemically investigated in lead-free Bi0.5(Na1-xKx)0.5TiO3 ceramics from room temperature to high temperature region. These ceramics can be poled completely to obtain large piezoelectric coefficient (104–153 pC/N) at low electric field of ~30 kV/cm. The piezoelectric property shows good thermal stability due to high depolarization temperature (Td). For BNKT20, a large low electric field-induced strain of 0.36% is obtained at 120 °C under 50 kV/cm, the corresponding normalized strain coefficient is up to 720 pm/V, which is larger than other BNT-based ceramics at high temperature region. The electrocaloric properties of these ceramics are studied via indirect and direct methods. Large EC value (~1.08 K) in BNKT20 ceramic is obtained at 50 kV/cm using indirect calculation. Above 100 °C, the dielectric energy storage density and efficiency of BNKT20 is still up to ~0.85 J/cm3 and 0.75, respectively. The BNKTx ceramics may become promising candidates in the fields of actuators, electrocaloric cooling and energy storage at high temperature region.
