Influence of Calcined Temperature on the Piezoelectric Properties of (Na0.48K0.47Li0.05)NbO3 Lead-Free Piezoelectric Ceramics Doped with CuO

Abstract

Na0.48K0.47Li0.05)NbO3(NKLN)Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics doped with CuO were prepared by traditional solid-state reaction method. Influence of calcined temperature on the material phase of NKLN lead-free piezoelectric ceramics doped with CuO by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the influence of calcined temperature and sintered temperature on the properties of NKLN lead-free piezoelectric ceramics doped with CuO by others analysis method. The results show that the best calcined temperature is got, when calcined temperature is up to 850 °C, the mixed phase disappeares, a single phase perovskites structure is formed. With the increase of calcined temperature, piezoelectric strain constant (d33) planar electromechanical coupling factor (Kp) of NKLN lead-free piezoelectric ceramics increase first and then decrease, while only dielectric loss (tanδ) decreases first and then increases.The best calcined temperature is 850 °C, the best sintered temperature is 1080 °C, the NKLN lead-free piezoelectric ceramics doped with CuO with good comprehensive properties are obtained, whose d33 , Kp , tanδ are 85 pC/N, 0.3, 0.038, respectively.
