(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3 with Bi0.5(Na0.97K0.03)0.5TiO3 with x≤0.05 has been prepared by the conventional mixed oxide process. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that, during sintering, all the Bi(Na0.97K0.03)TiO3 diffuses into the lattice of (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3 to form a solid solution with a perovskite structure. A morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between orthorhombic (O) and rhombohedral (R) was found at the composition 0.98(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-0.02Bi0.5(Na0.97K0.03)0.5TiO3 [abbreviated as 0.98NKN-0.02BNKT] with correspondingly enhanced dielectric and piezoelectric properties. For 0.98NKN-0.02BNKT ceramics, the electromechanical coupling coefficients of the planar mode kp and the thickness mode kt reach 0.33 and 0.49, respectively, after sintering at 1100 oC for 3 h. The ratio of the thickness coupling coefficient to the planar coupling coefficient is 1.48. With suitable Bi0.5(Na0.97K0.03)0.5TiO3 concentration, a dense microstructure and good electrical properties are obtained.

The Relationship

In this paper, the effects of different sintering temperature on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3(PNZZT) ceramic samples were investigated. The Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3 ceramics materials was prepared by a conventional mixed oxide method. In the period of the experiment, the relationship between crystallographic phase and microstructure were analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) respectively. The XRD patterns shows that all of the ceramic samples are with a tetragonal perovskite structure. Along with sintering temperature increased and the x is 0.03, the grain size gradually become big. Through this experiment, it has been found that when the x is 0.03 and sintered at 1130°C for 2 h, the grains grow well, the grain-boundary intersection of the sample combined well and the porosity of the ceramics decreased, an excellent comprehensive electrical properties of the Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3 samples can be obtained. Its best electrical properties are as follows: dielectric constant (ε) is 1105, dielectric loss(tg) is 0.017, electromechanical coupling coefficient (Kp) is 0.287, piezoelectric constant(d33) is 150PC/N
