In the present study, various quantities of Li2CO3 were added into Bi0.5(Na0.82K0.18)0.5TiO3 (abbreviated as 0.82BNT-0.18BKT) ceramics. For 0.82BNT-0.18BKT ceramics, the electromechanical coupling coefficients of the planar mode kp reaches 0.22 at the sintering of 1125 oC for 3 h. High-density samples were obtained through the addition of Li2CO3 into 0.82BNT-0.18BKT ceramics. It was found that 0.82BNT-0.18BKT with the addition of 0~0.9 wt.% Li2CO3 exhibit relatively good piezoelectric properties. For 0.82BNT-0.18BKT ceramics with the addition of 0.5 wt.% Li2CO3, the electromechanical coupling coefficients of the planar mode kp reach 0.37 at the sintering of 1125oC for 3 h. To promote the kp value, by adding low quantities of Li2CO3 is a effective method for 0.82BNT-0.18BKT solid solution ceramic.

Extending the investigations on (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-based solid solution for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, this paper consider the complex solid-solution system (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-Ba(Sn,Ti)O3. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that, during sintering, all of the Ba(Sn,Ti)O3 diffuses into the lattice of (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 to form a solid solution, in which a rhombohedral phase with a perovskite structure was found. It was found that the samples with a low content of Ba(Sn0.06Ti0.94)O3 exhibit relatively good physical and electric properties. For 0.98(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-0.02Ba(Sn0.06Ti0.94)O3 ceramics, the electromechanical coupling coefficients of the planar mode kp and the thickness mode kt reach 0.16 and 0.57, respectively, at the sintering of 1100oC for 3 h. The ratio of thickness coupling coefficient to planar coupling coefficient is 3.56. For 0.98(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-0.02Ba(Sn0.06Ti0.94)O3 ceramics, the relative density and the thickness coupling coefficient kt reach 98.1% and 0.58, respectively, at the sintering of 1100oC for 5 h. With suitable Ba(SnxTi1-x)O3 concentration and sintering condition, a dense microstructure and good electrical properties were obtained.
