Abstract
The composition of materials can significantly affect the structure and properties of KNN based piezoelectric ceramics. Here, 0.965(K0.48Na0.52)(Nb0.95Sb0.05)O3-0.035Bi0.5(Na0.3K0.3Li(0.4-x)Bax)0.5ZrO3 ceramics were designed and synthesized using CuO as a sintering aid to promote densification of ceramics. The results show that these ceramics had orthorhombic-tetragonal phase transition structure, and the ratio of the two phases becomes an important factor affecting the electrical properties. When the ratio of the two is close, the piezoelectric performance is optimized. Under specific composition, the sample exhibits a large piezoelectric effect, with the piezoelectric constant and inverse piezoelectric constant reaching 347 pC/N and 1052 p.m./V, respectively. These results prove that rational composition and structure modulation can effectively improve the performance of KNN-based lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, making it a promising alternative for lead-based piezoelectric ceramic materials.
