In this study, the effects of sintering temperature on microstructure, dielectric and piezoelectric properties are investigated for the non-stoichiometric (Na0.48K0.473Li0.04Sr0.007)(Nb0.883Ta0.05Sb0.06Ti0.007)O3 (NKLNTSST) piezoelectric ceramics. The results suggest that the piezoelectric properties are enhanced owing to the more normal ferroelectric characteristics, higher density, more uniform grains and presence of polymorphic phase transition regions, which are observed with an increase in the sintering temperature up to 1080?C. The piezoelectric properties are weakened owing to the larger degree of diffuse phase transition and more cationoxygen-vacancy pairs with an increase in the sintering temperature above 1080?C. The best piezoelectric properties including kp = 40%, d33 = 288 pC/N, ?max = 72.12, loss = 2.57%, Ec = 13.45 kV/cm and Pr = 10.23 ?C/cm2 are obtained at the sintering temperature of 1080?C.

Doping effect on the lattice parameters, vibration modes, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of LiSbO3, LiTaO3 and LiNbO3 substituted lead-free K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) ceramics are investigated. All compositions are crystallized in morphotropic phase boundary region. Enhanced piezoelectric and electromechanical response d33 ~176–197 pC/N, kp ~45%–48%, and kt~34%–47% obtained in the doped ceramics are due to the presence of the polymorphic phase transition between orthorhombic and tetragonal phase at room temperature.

Lead-free (1-x)[(Na0.515K0.485)0.94Li0.06(Nb0.99Ta0.01)O3]-xBiAlO3 (NKLNT-BA; x = 0, 0.005, 0.010, 0.015, and 0.020) ceramics were fabricated by a conventional mixed-oxide method. The effects of BiAlO3 addition on the phase structure, microstructure and electrical properties of ceramic were then studied. The result indicated that grain size decreased with increasing of BiAlO3 content. In the composition range studied, the perovskite phase with the coexistence of the orthorhombic and tetragonal phases was identified at approximately x 0.005 by the X-ray diffraction analysis and dielectric spectroscopy, which led to a significant enhancement of the piezoelectric properties. The tetragonality increased with further increasing x. The temperature dependence of dielectric properties showed that the addition of BiAlO3 slightly decreased the ferroelectric tetragonal-paraelectric cubic phase transition temperature (TC), but greatly shifted the polymorphic phase transition from the ferroelectric orthorhombic to the ferroelectric tetragonal phase (TOT) to lower room temperature. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties are enhanced for the composition near the orthorhombic-tetragonal polymorphic phase boundary. The unmodified-(Na0.515K0.485)0.94Li0.06(Nb0.99Ta0.01)O3 ceramics exhibit optimum electrical properties (d33 = 225 pC/N and TC = 418°C).

Lead-free (1-x)K0.5Na0.5NbO3–xLiNbO3 piezoelectric ceramics have been prepared by a conventional solid state process. The phase structure and the electrical properties of the ceramics were studied. A polymorphic phase transition (PPT) between the orthorhombic and tetragonal phases was identified in the composition range of 0.08<x<0.10. The ceramics near the PPT show better piezoelectric properties. At a level of 10mol% LiNbO3, the sample sintered at 1100oC for 1h exhibits optimal piezoelectric properties.

The microstructure, physical, dielectric and the piezoelectric characteristics of the (K0.5Na0.5) (Nb0.9Ta0.1) O3 (KNNT) ceramics as a function of the sintering temperature and Nd2O3 dopant were inspected in this work. It was found that the sintering temperature has a significant impact on the above-mentioned properties. In the same context, the addition of HYPERLINK "https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Neodymium_oxide" neodymium oxide led to remarkable improvement in the microstructure, density, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of KNNT ceramics when compared to undoped ceramics.

Lead-free (1-x-y)Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-xBaTiO3-yBiFeO3 ceramics were synthesized by ordinary sintering technique. The compositional dependence of phase structure and electrical properties of the ceramics was systematically investigated. All samples possessed pure perovskite structure. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of ceramics were investigated with the amount of different BiFeO3 substitutions. The addition of BiFeO3 can not only decrease Ec and Pr but also lead to a significant degradation of the dielectric loss tanδ.

Ceramics with the type of 0.50Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.15PbZrO3-0.35PbTiO3 were synthesized by conventional mixed-oxide technique. The dielectric and ferroelectric properties of this composition were investigated in detail. Frequency dispersion and diffuse phase transition were observed in the dielectric behaviors. The revealed electrical properties are εm = 22388, Pr = 21.449 μC/cm2 and Ec = 5.191 kV/cm. XRD experiments demonstrate that this composition is within the MPB region, which may help to explain the super electrical properties discussed in this study.

Alkali niobate lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with nominal compositions [(Na0.52K0.48)0.94+ xLi0.06-x](Nb0.94Sb0.06)O3 ((NK)xLNS) were prepared by normal sintering. Crystalline phase, piezoelectric properties and sintering behavior of (NK)xLNS ceramics were investigated with a special emphasis on the influence of alkli metal content. The x-ray diffraction patterns and the corresponding calculation of lattice parameters indicated that a phase transition from tetragonal to orthorhombic symmetry occurs as x=0.01, resulting in enhanced piezoelectric constant and planar electromechanical coupling coefficient of 266 pC/N and 38.5%, respectively. With x=0.01, the ceramics sintered at 1050 C show higher density and better electrical properties. Our results indicate the importance of sintering temperature and elaborate compositional control for enhancing piezoelectric properties in niobate-based ceramics.

The frequency (100Hz–1MHz) and temperature (30–575°C) dependence of electrical properties of calcium doped (Ca = 0.01, 0.05, 0.1) sodium bismuth titanate (NBT) was investigated by impedance spectroscopy. The data is used to analyze the effect of calcium concentration on the electrical properties of NBT. The frequency explicit plots of Z′′ versus frequency at various temperatures shows peaks in the higher temperature range (>400°C). The relaxation peaks are affected by the doping. The AC conductivity values are computed from the impedance data. DC conductivity has been measured in the temperature range of 30–400°C. The activation energies have been evaluated from the data. From the studies of dielectric constant as a function of temperature, it is observed that diffuse phase transition (DPT) is exhibited in these samples.
