In this work, the (Ba1-xCax)(Ti1-yZry)O3 lead-free ceramics were prepared by the two-step sintering method, and effects of Ca and Zr contents on phase structure, densification, microstructure, and electrical properties were investigated. It was found that all samples showed orthorhombic phase. The highest density of 5.84 ± 0.01 g/cm3 was achieved in x = 0.05, y = 0.05 sample. The average grain size, phase transition temperature, dielectric and piezoelectric properties significantly decreased by introducing of the Ca/Zr content. The ceramics with a small amount of Ca and Zr maintain good piezoelectric properties, and a lower dielectric loss. The composition with x = 0.05, y = 0.025 demonstrated optimum electrical properties of d33 ∼211 pC/N, TC ∼ 119 °C, εr ∼ 1788, and tanδ ∼ 0.04.

A new lead-free solid solution of (1–x) NaNbO 3-x Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15( Ti 0.9 Zr 0.1) O 3 was prepared by a traditional sintering method and its phase transition, dielectric and piezoelectric properties were studied. Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15( Ti 0.9 Zr 0.1) O 3 diffuses into NaNbO3 lattices to form a new solid solution with perovskite structure. The addition of Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15( Ti 0.9 Zr 0.1) O 3(x≥0.025) transforms NaNbO3 from antiferroelectric to ferroelectric. The diffusive ferroelectric–paraelectric phase transition is induced in the ceramics with high concentration of Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15( Ti 0.9 Zr 0.1) O 3. The ceramics with x = 0.05–0.125 possess large Pr values of 18.6–25.5 μC/cm2. A morphotropic phase boundary between tetragonal and orthorhombic phases is formed at 0.05 < x < 0.15, leading to a significant enhancement of piezoelectric properties. The ceramic with x = 0.125 situated near the morphotropic phase boundary exhibits the optimum piezoelectric properties: d33 = 151 pC/N and kp = 31.6%.
