ABSTRACTLead free niobate solid solutions can exhibit piezoelectric properties comparable to that of lead zirconate titanate piezoelectrics in the vicinity of its morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). Here we describe how (Na,K)NbO3 and (Na,K)NbO3-LiTaO3 solid solution thin films can be grown epitaxially by the hydrothermal method at temperatures of 200 °C or below in water and be made ferro- and piezoelectrically active by a simple 2 step post growth treatment.

Solid State Sintering

In order to clarify the Na/K ratios dependence of piezoelectric properties, ( K 1-x Na x) NbO 3 ceramics were prepared by conventional solid-state sintering at x = 0.4–0.6 with a smaller compositional interval (0.02 mol). The results demonstrate that the Na/K ratios have obvious effect on piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of ( K 1-x Na x) NbO 3 ceramics. Piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties show the maximum (d33 = 147 pC/N, kp = 0.40, and Pr = 24 μC/cm2) at x = 0.54, which is not consistent with conventional viewpoint. The reasons should be attributed to the existence of a phase boundary at x = 0.54 mol, which is similar to the morphotropic phase boundary in Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 ceramics.

The microstructural evolution and piezoelectric properties of lead-free ceramics (0.98-x)(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3–x(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3–0.02BaTiO3 (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.98, abbreviated as (0.98-x)NBT–xNKN–0.02BT) were investigated. The effects of the amount of NKN on the crystal structure, microstructural evolution, and piezoelectric properties were examined. The 0.93NBT–0.05NKN–0.02BT ceramics having a lower NKN content gave good performances with piezoelectric properties of d33 = 140 pC/N and kp = 21%, because of the soft additive Nb5+ ions at the B sites. However, a paraelectric cubic phase was observed in the wide range of compositions between x = 0.1 and x = 0.9. At a higher NKN content of x > 0.9, a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between the tetragonal and orthorhombic phases was found in the 0.015NBT–0.965NKN–0.02BT ceramics, and the piezoelectric properties were enhanced (d33 = 135 pC/N, kp = 29%). The piezoelectric properties of this system were closely related to its crystal structure.

Dielectric And Piezoelectric Properties

Lead-based piezoelectric ceramics have excellent piezoelectric properties with the compositions near the rhombohedral-tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary (MPB)[1,2]. In these materials, the dielectric and piezoelectric properties show the maximal values at MPB. For lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, finding the MPB area is a promising way to improve their properties. In this paper, the (1-x-y)BaZrO3-x(K0.45Na0.5Li0.05)NbO3-yBi (Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by solid-state reaction method, and their piezoelectric properties and dielectric properties were investigated. With the increase of KNLN content, the crystal structure changed from rombohedral phase to tetragonal phase, thus existed a MPB[3,4] between rombohedral and tetragonal phase. At room temperature, the specimen with the composition at MPB (x=0.93, y=0.01) shows the optimal piezoelectric properties (d33=225pC/N and kp=45%), which indicates that this material is a potential lead-free piezoceramic.
