AbstractNa1-xLixNbO3ceramics (for x = 0.08, 0.1, 0.2) were fabricated by the conventional solid state reaction method. The influence of LiNbO3on the microstructure, electric, thermal properties of Na1-xLixNbO3ceramics was studied and a significant influence of doped Li ions on the electrical properties was observed. The electrical properties were improved and are described as the best for x = 0.1 (near a morphotropic phase boundary) Na1–xLixNbO3solid solutions. After crossing the morphotropic phase boundary for x = 0.2, the electric properties are getting worse. These types of solid compounds show some interesting properties suitable for practical applications.

The (Na0.52K0.44)(Nb0.9Sb0.06)O3-0.04LiTaO3 (NKNS-LT) ceramics doped with various Cu2O contents were prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method. The Cu2O content was varied in the range of 0.1~0.4 wt%. The effects of Cu on microstructure, crystallographic phase transition, and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The material with perovskite structure had a tetragonal phase (T1) when Cu2O concentration was less than 0.3 wt% and it was transformed to another tetragonal phase (T2) when the Cu2O amount was greater than 0.3 wt%. The phase boundary between T1 and T2 phases was appeared at around 0.3 wt% of Cu2O concentration. The piezoelectric properties were shown the maximum values at the composition of the phase boundary. The electro-mechanical coupling factor (kp) was 0.42 and the piezoelectric charge constant (d33) was 245 pC/N at the 0.3 wt% of Cu2O concentration.

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.

Solid solution of (1-x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-xBaTiO3 have been synthesized via conventional solid-state reaction route. Structural changes of the solid-solutions were investigated by using X-ray diffraction, Rietveld refinement Raman spectroscopy and piezoelectric studies. X-ray diffraction analysis shows a distinct 002/200 peak splitting appearing at x = 0.07 showing the coexistence of rhombohedral and tetragonal phase. Raman spectroscopy shows a splitting of (TO3) mode at x = 0.07 confirming the presence of the morphotropic phase boundary region. The dominant bands in the Raman spectra are analyzed by observing the changes in their respective peak positions, widths and intensities as the x increases. The piezoelectric properties of the solid solution increase with rise in BaTiO3 content and shows optimum value at x = 0.07 owing to the co-existence of two ferroelectric phases. Based on these results, it is suggested that the morphotropic phase boundary in the studied system lies in the composition x = 0.07.

(1-x)(K0.44Na0.52Li0.04)(Nb0.84Ta0.10Sb0.06)O3-xSrTiO3 (KNNT-ST) lead free piezoelectric ceramics have been synthesized by a solid state reaction method. The effect of SrTiO3 content on the piezoelectric properties, sintering behavior and microstructure of (1-x) KNNT-x ST ceramics was investigated. The experimental results showed that the addition of SrTiO3 can restrain the volatilization of Na ions and K ions and improve relative density of the samples. A morphotropic phase boundary between orthorhombic and tetragonal phases is found in the composition range of 0.03<x<0.05. The piezoelectric properties can be enhanced for (1-x) KNNT-x ST ceramics near the morphotropic phase boundary.

The electrical properties of a (Ba[Formula: see text]SrxCay)TiO3-based positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor were determined by measuring resistivity with increasing temperature, and its thermal properties were measured with a cartridge heater made of a (Ba[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]Ca[Formula: see text])TiO3-based PTC thermistor. The (Ba[Formula: see text]SrxCay)TiO3-based PTC thermistor were fabricated by a conventional solid-state reaction method with Sb2O3, BaTiO3, SrTiO3, SiO2, and CaTiO3. Their electrical properties were determined by room temperature resistivity ([Formula: see text]C), minimum resistivity ([Formula: see text]), maximum resistivity ([Formula: see text]), resistivity jump rate (log [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text]), Curie temperature ([Formula: see text]), and withstanding voltage. The effect of the microstructure on the electrical properties was investigated to improve the withstand voltage. The cartridge heater was fabricated with the (Ba[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]Ca[Formula: see text])TiO3-based PTC thermistor and its thermal properties were determined by the temperature of light oil in a 100 cc beaker. The temperature of light oil was maintained at 60[Formula: see text]C without fluctuations in temperature after reaching 60[Formula: see text]C at 220[Formula: see text]V, and thus (Ba[Formula: see text]SrxCay)TiO3-based PTC thermistor was able to operate as a self-regulating heater element for preheating light oil.

A morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) with temperature-independent behavior, the so-called vertical MPB was investigated in lead-free (K,Na,Li)NbO3–BaZrO3–(La,Na)TiO3 ternary ceramic system. The specimens were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction method, and their crystal structures as well as their MPB were determined from X-ray diffraction patterns measured from room temperature to 300[Formula: see text]C. The vertical MPB composition was determined to be 0.9025(K0.45Na0.5Li0.05)NbO3–0.09BaZrO3–0.0075(La,Na)TiO3 and the Curie temperature was found to be about 195[Formula: see text]C. It was successfully confirmed that ceramic samples of this system could be sintered in a reducing atmosphere. For lead-free piezoceramic applications of multilayer actuators using Ni inner electrodes, the results obtained in this work have important practical implications.
