In this paper, the effects of different sintering temperature on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3(PNZZT) ceramic samples were investigated. The Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3 ceramics materials was prepared by a conventional mixed oxide method. In the period of the experiment, the relationship between crystallographic phase and microstructure were analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) respectively. The XRD patterns shows that all of the ceramic samples are with a tetragonal perovskite structure. Along with sintering temperature increased and the x is 0.03, the grain size gradually become big. Through this experiment, it has been found that when the x is 0.03 and sintered at 1130°C for 2 h, the grains grow well, the grain-boundary intersection of the sample combined well and the porosity of the ceramics decreased, an excellent comprehensive electrical properties of the Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3 samples can be obtained. Its best electrical properties are as follows: dielectric constant (ε) is 1105, dielectric loss(tg) is 0.017, electromechanical coupling coefficient (Kp) is 0.287, piezoelectric constant(d33) is 150PC/N

(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3 with Bi0.5(Na0.97K0.03)0.5TiO3 with x≤0.05 has been prepared by the conventional mixed oxide process. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that, during sintering, all the Bi(Na0.97K0.03)TiO3 diffuses into the lattice of (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3 to form a solid solution with a perovskite structure. A morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between orthorhombic (O) and rhombohedral (R) was found at the composition 0.98(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-0.02Bi0.5(Na0.97K0.03)0.5TiO3 [abbreviated as 0.98NKN-0.02BNKT] with correspondingly enhanced dielectric and piezoelectric properties. For 0.98NKN-0.02BNKT ceramics, the electromechanical coupling coefficients of the planar mode kp and the thickness mode kt reach 0.33 and 0.49, respectively, after sintering at 1100 oC for 3 h. The ratio of the thickness coupling coefficient to the planar coupling coefficient is 1.48. With suitable Bi0.5(Na0.97K0.03)0.5TiO3 concentration, a dense microstructure and good electrical properties are obtained.

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.

It is well known that piezoelectric ceramics are wildly used in many fields such as electrical sensors, actuators, alarm equipments etc. In this paper,the microstructure and the piezoelectric properties of Pb(Zr1/2Ti1/2)1-x(Nb2/3Mg1/3)xO3 (PMNZT) were studied. A novel B-site precursor method was adopted for preparing of Pb(Zr1/2Ti1/2)1-x(Nb2/3Mg1/3)xO3 samples. For investigating the crystallographic phase and microstructure of the samples, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) methods have been adopted respectively. The results show that a pure perovskite structure can be obtained after sintering at 1220°C for 2h. Through this experiment, it has been found that when sintering at 1220°C for 2h and the amounts of the Pbx(Nb2/3Mg1/3)xO3 (PMN) is 0.14, the Pb(Zr1/2Ti1/2)1-x(Nb2/3Mg1/3)xO3 samples are with the best electrical properties as follows: dielectric constant (ε) is 1858, dielectric loss(tanδ) is 0.017, electromechanical coupling coefficient (Kp) is 0.515, piezoelectric constant(d33) is 362PC/N

La2O3-doped lead-free 0.82Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.18Bi0.5K0.5TiO3(abbreviated to 0.82BNT-0.18BKT) piezoelectric ceramics were synthesized by the conventional mixed-oxide method, and the effect of La2O3addition on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show that La2O3diffuses into the lattice of the 0.82BNT-0.18BKT ceramics to form a solid solution with a pure perovskite structure. SEM images indicate that the grain size of the 0.82BNT-0.18BKT ceramics increased with the addition of La2O3doping. The electrical properties of 0.82BNT-0.18BKT ceramics have been greatly improved by certain amount of La2O3substitutions. At room temperature, the 0.82BNT-0.18BKT ceramics doped with 0.25 wt. % La2O3exhibited the optimum properties with high piezoelectric constant (d33= 142 pC/N) and high planar coupling factor (kp= 0.23).

In this research, the Bi0.5(Na0.80K0.20)0.5Ti0.99Ti0.10O3 were prepared via a conventional solid-state reaction method, and their properties were related with calcination temperature. The crystalline structure of BNKTZ ceramics was assessed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. Other physical properties, i.e. porosity, density, microstructure, and electrical properties were determined. XRD patterns for all samples showed a pure perovskite, where coexistence between rhombohedral and tetragonal phases was observed for some conditions. The optimum dielectric constant was obtained for the ceramic calcined at 800 °C. The ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties were improved and showed the highest values for the calcination temperature around 900-1000°C. The improvements of ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties were proposed to be due to the ceramics had compositions closed to MPB composition. Furthermore, density also had a contribution for the improvements.

In this study, the KNbO3, NaNbO3and NaTaO3powders were synthesized by hydrothermal method and the KNN ceramics were prepared by conventional sintering technique. The physical phase constitution and morphology were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and SEM. The KNN ceramics sintering temperature and the influence of Ta5+doping on ceramic properties were explored. The results indicate that the optimal sintering temperature of KNN ceramics is 950°C, and the main phase is orthorhombic structure. After the substitution of Ta5+, the optimal sintering temperature is increased to 975°C. As the increase of doping amount, the piezoelectric properties have been significantly enhanced. The specimen doping 0.08 mol% Ta5+exhibits the enhanced electrical properties (d33=125pC/N, Qm=131, and kp=0.24).

Nanometer-sized ZnO powder was synthesized at low decomposing temperature by polyacrylamide-gel method where Acrylamide was used as monomer, and N,N-methylene-bisacrylamide as lattice reagent. The characteristic of powders were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicated uniform distribution of nanoZnO particles. Also electrical properties were investigated at different sintering temperatures of 800, 900 and 1000 ° C. It was observed that increase in sintering temperature, resulted in increase in the grain size of the varistor ceramics. The observed nonlinearity in current – voltage characteristic was explained by the existence of potential barrier at the grain boundaries and lowering of the barriers.

Na-doped lithium metatitanate (Na-doped Li2TiO3) absorbent was doped with Na2CO3and lithium metatitanate (Li2TiO3) was prepared by a solid-state reaction method from mixture of TiO2and Li2CO3. The Na-doped lithium metatitanate was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and surface area. Carbon dioxide absorption on Na-doped lithium metatitanate was investigated using TG-DTA. The results reveal an increase of the CO2absorption capacity of the Na-doped materials with respect to pure Li2TiO3. XRD patterns of the doped samples suggest a limited substitution of Li by Na atoms within the Li2TiO3structure. The results of experimental and modeling work were summarized to better understand the relationship between the sorbent microstructure and carbon dioxide absorption kinetics.
