In this paper, the effects of CuO sintering aids on microstructure and electric properties are investigated for the non-stoichiometric (Na0.48K0.473Li0.04Sr0.007)(Nb0.883Ta0.05Sb0.06Ti0.007)O3+x mol% CuO lead free ceramics. As the amounts of CuO equal 1 mol%, the sintering temperature is 975 °C and the piezoelectric parameters are d33 = 200 pC/N, g33 = 38 (10−3 Vm/N), d33 × g33 = 7600 (10−15 m2/N), kp = 0.38, Qm = 240, Pr = 18.93 μC/cm2 and EC = 8.75 kV/cm. The piezoelectric properties are changed to hard type and suitable for energy harvester with multilayer technology. The physical response mechanisms are suggested that the diffused phase transitions are enhanced, the Cu2+ ions substitute for the B-site ions with forming the Oxygen vacancies and the domain walls are pinning.

This paper aims at the determination of the effects of strontium addition on the microstructural evolution and the piezoelectric properties for Pb(Mn1/3Nb2/3)O3-Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PMnN-PZT) ceramics. The Sr content was chosen in the range of 2-8 mol%. These materials were prepared by the solid phase reaction of the oxides. It was found, from the experimental results, the tetragonality of the PMnN-PZT lattice and the Curie temperature decreased with Sr content; in the meantime, dielectric constant increased greatly. Dielectric constant (er) and planar coupling factor (Kp) was proven to be dependent on sintering temperature. P-E curves of PMnN-PZT system exhibited some “pinched” shape instead of the normal square-like P-E loops, illustrating presence of the oxygen vacancies by reason of the preferable substitution of the B-sites ion.

Morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composition, KNaNbO3-0.052LiSbO3(KNN-LS) was synthesized by sol-gel method at this experiment. Sb2O3 was used as economic Sb source and the final dried gel was calcined at 650°C for 2h to obtain white nanopowder. The sintering experiment was carried out at the temperature range of 980°C-1130°C, and perovskite phase structure could be observed apparently below 1080°C. When the temperature reached 1080°C and above, the second phase Na3LiNb6O17 appeared meanwhile the piezoelectric coefficient (d33) decreased quickly. Its proven that fine-grained particles and low sintering temperature could be obtained in sol-gel route.

This article studies the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of low sintering temperature lead-free ceramics [Formula: see text]-doped with ZnO nanoparticles (noted as 0.48BZT-y, y is content of ZnO in wt%, y =0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.25). The obtained results of Raman scattering and dielectric measurements have confirmed that [Formula: see text] has occupied B site, to cause a deformation in the ABO3-type lattice of the 0.48BZT-y compounds. The 0.15 wt% ZnO-doped ceramic sintered at 1350[Formula: see text]C exhibited excellent piezoelectric parameters: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The obtained results indicate that the high-quality lead-free BZT–BCT ceramic could be successfully synthesized at a low sintering temperature of 1350[Formula: see text]C by doping an appropriated amount of ZnO.

The behaviour of the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of doped PZT ceramics, with variable lead content, has been investigated from –50oC to room temperature. The PZT materials were prepared by the oxide technique and samples were sintered as pellets, at various temperatures. Niobium and lithium ions have been substituted for Ti4+, Zr4+ in the PZT matrix, and a small amount of Bi2O3 was added to cause A-position vacancies. The lead content in the four materials prepared varies in a narrow range, from 0.97 to 1.029 lead atoms, while the concentration of all other components are maintained constant. The microstructure of samples, evaluated by SEM technique and XRD analysis evidenced the presence of the tetragonal phase characteristic for the PZT 52/48. The dielectric and piezoelectric c onstants measured on poled samples depends on the sintering temperature, defects and domain walls, lead content.

Li-doped (Na, K)NbO3lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with nominal composition of [Li0.065(Na0.535K0.48)0.95]NbO3were prepared by normal sintering method, and its phase structure, microstructure and electric properties were studied with a special emphasis on the influence of sintering temperature in the range of 950-1020 oC. The result of XRD analysis indicates that a polymorphic phase transition (PPT) separating orthorhombic and tetragonal phases was found at the temperature of 950 oC, whereby enhanced piezoelectric properties of d33=255 pC/N and kp= 44.5% were obtained although the density was low. Our study indicates that the importance of PPT for enhancing electric properties in niobate-based ceramics at low temperature.
