Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.94(Ba1-xSrx)0.06TiO3 (abbreviated as BNBST-100x, with x ranges from 0.02 to 0.1) have been investigated. Effects of amount of Sr-substitution on the electrical properties and crystal structure of the ceramics were studied. The BNBST-100x ceramics sintered at 1200°C for 2h in air have high density around 5.69~5.75g/cm3. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis shows that all of the BNBST-100x ceramics have pure perovskite structure. At high amount level of Sr-substitution, the crystal structure of the samples changes from rhombohedral to tetragonal symmetry. Piezoelectric and dielectric measurements reveal that Sr-substitution amount within a certain range will lead to the increase of piezoelectric coefficient (d33), electromechanical coupling factor (kp), and relative dielectric constant (ε33 T/ε0). At 6 mol% Sr-substitution level, the d33 and kp of the ceramics reach maximum, with values of 168 pC/N and 34%, respectively.

Bi2O3 doped (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.94Ba0.06TiO3 (BNBT6) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were fabricated by a conventional sintering technique. The effects of Bi2O3 on the piezoelectric properties and microstructures of the doped BNBT6 were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that a solid solution was formed when Bi2O3 diffused into BNBT6 lattice and the crystal structure of the sintered hybrid changed from rhombohedral to tetragonal symmetry with increasing Bi2O3 amount. Piezoelectric and dielectric properties measurements revealed that doping Bi2O3 within a certain range enhanced the piezoelectric coefficient (d33), electromechanical coupling factor (kp), relative dielectric constant (ε33 T/ε0), and dielectric loss (tanδ). When 3mol% Bi2O3 was doped, both d33 and kp of the ceramics reached their maxima, 165pC/N and 24%, respectively.

(K,Na)NbO3(KNN)-based lead-free piezoelectric ceramic could be fabricated by ordinary solid sintering method.This paper reported preferable properties of solid solutions (1-x)(Na0.535K0.480)NbO3-xLiNbO3(x=0.050,0.055,0.060,0.065 and 0.070 successively) all sintered at 1060°C.The nonconservation of charge suppressed negative effects caused by evaporations of K&Na and doped Li occupied A sites in ABO3perovskite structure lattices led to the intensification of lattice distortion.XRD result showd phase transition from coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal symmetry to tetragonal.Polymorphic phase boundary could be observed when 0.050≤ x≤ 0.060.Coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal phases brought improvements of piezoelectric coefficient d33and electromechanical coupling factor kp,whose top values were 162 pC/N and 28.1% in this paper. Positive correlation between the Curie temperature and Li content proved that a distorted crystal lattice needed more energy to accomplish its phase transition from tetragonal to cubic than a normal one.

(1-x) (K0.475Na0.475Li0.05)(Nb0.975Sb0.025)O3-xmolBiFeO3 (x=0, 0.002, 0.004, 0.006, 0.008) doped with 0.8mol%CuO lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the solid state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction patterns suggested that all the ceramics presented perovskite structure. The compositional dependence of the phase structure and the electrical properties of the ceramics were studied. The ceramic (x=0.002) near room temperature exhibited excellent electrical properties (piezoelectric constant d33=172pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling factor kp=0.43, and dielectric constant =418). A relatively high mechanical quality factor (Qm=200) was also obtained in this particular composition. All these results revealed that this system might become a promising candidate for lead-free piezoelectric materials.

(Na,Bi)TiO3-BaTiO3lead free piezoelectric ceramics were fabricated with modification of CaCu3Ti4O12additives. The phase structure, morphology, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of prepared samples were investigated, respectively. It was found that CaCu3Ti4O12additives evidently improve the polarization properties of (Na,Bi)TiO3-BaTiO3lead free ceramics and the obtained samples exhibit an excellent piezoelectric properties (electromechanical coupling factorKp=31%, mechanical quality factorQm=151 and piezoelectric constantd33=160pC/N). According to results, the effect of CaCu3Ti4O12additives on electrical properties of (Na,Bi)TiO3-BaTiO3lead free piezoelectric ceramics is discussed.

(Na1-xBax)(Nb1-xTix)O3 (NNBTx; x=0.0-0.21) solid-solution ceramics were synthesized and their crystal structure, dielectric properties and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The crystal structure at room temperature of NNBTx varied from orthorhombic to tetragonal with increasing BaTiO3 content x. The phase boundary between orthorhombic and tetragonal at room temperature was confirmed BT content between x=0.08 and 0.09. For x>0.05, it was found that the Curie temperature was decreased with increasing x. The highest electromechanical coupling factor, kp, and the largest piezoelectric constant, d33, were obtained at x=0.09-0.10.

Na0.48K0.47Li0.05)NbO3(NKLN)Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics doped with CuO were prepared by traditional solid-state reaction method. Influence of calcined temperature on the material phase of NKLN lead-free piezoelectric ceramics doped with CuO by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the influence of calcined temperature and sintered temperature on the properties of NKLN lead-free piezoelectric ceramics doped with CuO by others analysis method. The results show that the best calcined temperature is got, when calcined temperature is up to 850 °C, the mixed phase disappeares, a single phase perovskites structure is formed. With the increase of calcined temperature, piezoelectric strain constant (d33) planar electromechanical coupling factor (Kp) of NKLN lead-free piezoelectric ceramics increase first and then decrease, while only dielectric loss (tanδ) decreases first and then increases.The best calcined temperature is 850 °C, the best sintered temperature is 1080 °C, the NKLN lead-free piezoelectric ceramics doped with CuO with good comprehensive properties are obtained, whose d33, Kp, tanδ are 85 pC/N, 0.3, 0.038, respectively.

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3+xmol%Co3+ (NBT-xC) were synthesized by conventional solid-state process. Effects of Co3+ addition on the phase structure, dielectric and piezo- electric properties of NBT-xC were investigated. The X-ray diffraction suggested that all specimens were rhombohedral perovskite structure. After a small addition of Co2O3, a dense microstructure with increased grains was developed. The doping with Co3+ enhanced mechanical quality factor Qm significantly, whereas piezoelectric constant d33 and electromechanical coupling factor kp decreased slightly with increasing amount of Co3+. For the ceramics with x=3, the electric properties become optimum, which are as follows: d33=~70pC/N, kp=~13%, Qm=~934, tanδ=~0.02 (1kHz), respectively. These results indicate that the Co3+ ion was considered to replace Ti4+ ion and present “hard doping” effect.

In this paper, end members of tetragonal phase (Na0.535K0.485)0.905Li0.095(Nb0.94Ta0.06)O3(abbreviated as NKLN) and rhombohedral phase (Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3(abbreviated as NBT) were used to fabricate dense (1-x)NKLN-xNBT (x=0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. By increasing the NBT content x value, the crystalline structure changes from tetragonal phase to rhombohedral one across a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composition of x=0.02. In this MPB composition, enhanced electrical properties were obtained as follows: piezoelectric constant d33=202 pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling coefficient kp=39.6%, relative dielectric constant εr=1020 and dielectric loss tgδ=2.67%, indicating that this ceramic was a promising lead-free piezoelectric material for practical applications.
