Nb-based systems have been considered to be the most attractive ceramic system in the research field of lead-free piezoceramics, since excellent piezoelectric properties were reported in (Li,Na,K)NbO3-based solid solution (LNKN) systems. This article reviews the characteristic and recent research activity for several kinds of the niobate systems including LiNbO3, NaNbO3, KNbO3, tungsten-bronze niobate. The importance of material design for enhancement of piezoelectric properties and their stability in the wide temperature range is also described for LNKN system.

In the present study, various quantities of Bi2O3were added into 0.98(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-0.02Bi(Na0.93K0.07)TiO3(0.98NKN-0.02BNKT) ceramics. It was found that 0.98NKN-0.02BNKTwith the addition of 0~0.5 wt.% Bi2O3exhibit relatively good piezoelectric properties. For 0.98NKN-0.02BNKT ceramics, the electromechanical coupling coefficients of the planar modekpand the thickness modektreach 0.40 and 0.47,respectively. For 0.98NKN-0.02BNKT ceramics with the addition of 0.3 wt.% Bi2O3, the electromechanical coupling coefficients ofthe planar modekpand the thickness modektreach 0.50 and 0.53, respectively. It is obvious that 0.98NKN-0.02BNKT solid solution ceramics by adding low quantities of Bi2O3is one of the promising lead-free ceramics for electromechanical transducer applications.

Dielectric And Piezoelectric Properties

(Na1-xBax)(Nb1-xTix)O3 (NNBTx; x=0.0-0.21) solid-solution ceramics were synthesized and their crystal structure, dielectric properties and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The crystal structure at room temperature of NNBTx varied from orthorhombic to tetragonal with increasing BaTiO3 content x. The phase boundary between orthorhombic and tetragonal at room temperature was confirmed BT content between x=0.08 and 0.09. For x>0.05, it was found that the Curie temperature was decreased with increasing x. The highest electromechanical coupling factor, kp, and the largest piezoelectric constant, d33, were obtained at x=0.09-0.10.

In the present study, various quantities of Bi2O3were added into 0.98(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-0.02Ba(Sn0.08Ti0.92)O3(0.98NBT-0.02BST) ceramics. High-density samples were obtained through the addition of Bi2O3into 0.98NBT-0.02BST ceramic. It was found that 0.98NBT-0.02BST with the addition of 0~3.0 wt.% Bi2O3exhibit relatively good piezoelectric properties. For 0.98NBT-0.02BST ceramic with the addition of 2 wt.% Bi2O3, the electromechanical coupling coefficients of the planar mode kp and the thickness mode kt reach 0.12 and 0.61, respectively, at the sintering of 1100oC for 3 h. The ratio of thickness coupling coefficient to planar coupling coefficient is 5.1. It is obvious that 0.98NBT-0.02BST solid solution ceramic by adding low quantities of Bi2O3is one of the promising lead-free ceramics for high frequency electromechanical transducer applications.

Extending the investigations on (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-based solid solution for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, this paper consider the complex solid-solution system (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3–(Bi0.5K0.5)TiO3[BNT-BKT]. (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3with 7~ 30 mol% (Bi0.5K0.5)TiO3ceramics have been prepared following the conventional mixed oxide process. A morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between rhombohedral (R) and tetragonal (T) was found at the composition 0.82BNT-0.18BKT with correspondingly enhanced piezoelectric properties. The electromechanical planar coupling factor is higher for compositions near the MPB. The mechanical quality factor (Qm), planar coupling coefficient (kp) and thickness coupling coefficient (kt) of 0.82BNT-0.18BKT ceramics were 125, 28.8% and 47.4%, respectively.

Extending the investigations on (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-based solid solution for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, this paper consider the complex solid-solution system (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3–Bi0.5(Na0.85K0.15)0.5TiO3[NKN-BNKT]. (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3with 2 ~ 6 mol% Bi0.5(Na0.85K0.15)0.5TiO3has been prepared following the conventional mixed oxide process. A morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between orthorhombic (O) and hexagonal (H) was found at the composition 0.96NKN-0.04BNKT with correspondingly enhanced dielectric and piezoelectric properties. The electromechanical coupling factor and dielectric constant are higher for compositions near the MPB. The dielectric constant (KT33), planar coupling coefficient (kp) and thickness coupling coefficient (kt)of 0.96NKN-0.04BNKT ceramics were 1273, 34% and 38%, respectively.
