Abstract

The piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of [Bi0.5(Na1−x−yKxLiy)0.5]TiO3 (BNKLT-x∕y) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were studied. The ceramics show excellent piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties, and the optimum properties measured are as follows: piezoelectric constant d33=231pC∕N, planar and thickness electromechanical coupling factors kP=41.0% and kt=50.5%, remanent polarization Pr=40.2μC∕cm2, and coercive field Ec=2.47kV∕mm, respectively. Polarization versus electric (P-E) hysteresis loops of the ceramics are well rectangle shaped, and the dependence of P-E loops on temperature reveals that the depolarization temperature Td of BNKLT-0.15∕0.075 ceramics, which simultaneously have good piezoelectric properties (d33=164pC∕N,kp=36.3%,kt=48.6%) and strong ferroelectricity (Pr=38.8μC∕cm2,Ec=3.73kV∕mm) at room temperature, is about 195 °C.
