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).

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)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.

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.

1-x-y)BaTiO3-xBi (Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3-yBiFeO3 ceramics were prepared by a conventional solidstate synthesis, and crystal structure and electric properties were investigated. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction pattern revealed that a single perovskite phase was obtained for samples at x=0.05-0.15, y=0.46.5-73.5. Splitting of the (111) peak was observed when (x, y) = (0.050, 0.685) and (0.050, 0.735) indicating that crystal structure of samples changed from a pseudo-cubic phase to a rhombohedral phase with increasing BF. As the BF content increased, the Curie temperature increased. The largest maximum strain (Smax) over the applied maximum electric field (Emax) value (Smax / Emax) of 300 pm/V was observed for 0.365BT-0.050BMT-0.585BF at 25 °C and 1Hz with the Curie temperature of 390 °C.

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.

Solid solutions based on Li , Ta and Sb -doped (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (KNN) lead-free perovskite systems were created using standard solid-state methods. X-ray diffraction was used to confirm that all compositions were single phase and to verify the phase transition from tetragonal to cubic at TC = 302° C . The three compositions examined, originally developed by Saito and Li , were shown to be strongly ferroelectric with sharp peaks in permittivity present at the Curie temperature. The optimum composition had loss tangent values below 5% up to 100 kHz at room temperature. Bipolar hysteresis measurements showed high values for both maximum polarization (25 and 21 μC/cm2) and remenant polarizations (20 and 16 μC/cm2) for undoped and 0.2 wt% CuO -doped samples. Maximum strain values of greater than 0.23% were observed.

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.

Lead-free (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (KNN) piezoelectric ceramics were studied and synthesized by the seed-induced method. NaNbO3 crystal was used as seed and prepared by molten salt synthesis (MSS). The average particles size of NaNbO3 seed crystal was about 1-3 mm. Then, the NaNbO3 seed was mixed with KNN powder and ball milled for 24 h. The mixed powder was calcined at 700-900 °C and sintered at 1100 °C. The phase structure and morphology of the ceramics were investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope and the electrical properties were studied. The results indicated that all samples showed a pure perovskite phase. The highest density of the ceramic was 93% compared to the theoretical density. The results showed that NaNbO3seed crystal improved piezoelectric properties of KNN ceramics.
