Lead-free (1-x)K0.49Na0.51NbO3-xLiTaO3 (x=0.00-0.07) piezoceramics were fabricated by the conventional solid-state sintering method, the effects of LiTaO3 content on the phase structure and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics were investigated. All the ceramics show single perovskite structure with a phase transition from an orthorhombic symmetry to a tetragonal one across an orthorhombic-tetragonal coexistence region with 0.04<x<0.06. For the ceramic sample with x=0.05, due to the coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal phases near room temperature, enhanced piezoelectric constant d33=236 pC/N and planar electromechanical coupling coefficient kp=40.9% are observed. In addition to other good electrical properties such as εr=969, tgδ=0.015 and Qm=41, this ceramic is a promising lead-free piezoelectric material.

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.

In this research, substitution effects of BiAlO3 with (Bi, Na)TiO3 piezoelectric ceramics was investigated for the sensors and actuators applications. (Bi,Na)TiO3 material has been employed for the piezoelectric devices applications because of their high piezoelectric charge constant, d33, of 88 pC/N, electromechanical coupling coefficient, kp, of 22% and inverse piezoelectric charge constant of 498 pm/V. As a piezoelectric material, (Bi, Na)TiO3 has perovskite structure with tetragonal basis. The improvement of piezoelectric and inverse piezoelectric properties is important for industrial device applications. Therefore, in this research, we have tried to increase functional and electrical properties of (Bi, Na)TiO3 piezoelectric materials by substituting BiAlO3 dopants. As a result, the piezoelectric constant was increased up to 140 pC/N, and the densification was increased up to 5.92 g/cm3 .

A strong desire for environmental protection and human health care urgently requires us to find an environmental friendly type of piezoelectric material to replace the lead ones. In this study, (LixK0.5-xNa0.5)(Nb0.97Sb0.03)O3-1mol%CuO (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1 ,0.2 ,0.5, abbreviated as CuO-LxKNNS) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have been fabricated by a conventional solid-state reaction route. We focused on the comparison of buried powder sintering with exposed sintering. The effect of buried powder sintering method on density, structure and dielectric, piezoelectric properties of CuO-LxKNNS ceramics has been investigated. It was found that the density increased greatly when the buried powder sintering method was used, which was effective in inhibiting the volatilization of alkali metal oxides compared with exposed sintering method. Piezoelectric and dielectric properties showed a similar tendency with the density. These ceramics showed an obvious phase transition with increasing the Li content. CuO-LxKNNS ceramics showed orthorhombic symmetry when x= 0, but turned to be tetragonal symmetry when x ≥ 0.05. The optimal composition of CuO-LxKNNS with buried powder sintering method was x = 0.05 sintered at 1020 °C, for which the maximum value of the piezoelectric constant (d33) was 180pC/N, the density (ρ) was 4.40g/cm3, the room temperature relative dielectric constant (εr) was 270 and the dielectric loss (tanδ) was 0.07.

(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.

Lead-free multifunctional ceramics of Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15 Ti 0.9 Zr 0.1 O 3-x mol% Dy have been prepared by an ordinary sintering method and the effects of Dy 2 O 3 doping on structure, piezoelectric, ferroelectric and photoluminescent properties of the ceramics have been studied. The ceramics possess a single phase perovskite structure. The grain growth of the ceramics is prohibited and the ferroelectric–paraelectric phase transition at TC becomes more diffusive after the addition of Dy 2 O 3. Dy 2 O 3 doping improves the piezoelectricity of the ceramics and the optimal piezoelectric properties d33 = 335 pC/N is obtained at x = 0.5. The addition of 2 mol% Dy enhances the photoluminescent properties of the ceramics and strong emissions at ∼ 478 nm and ∼ 575 nm are observed. Our study shows that the ceramics with low Dy 2 O 3 levels exhibit simultaneously the strong piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity and photoluminescence and may have a potential application in mechano-electro-optic integration and coupling device.

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.

The AgSbO3doped KNLN samples sintered at 1050°C showed the maximum values of the sintering density of 4.56 g/cm3compared to un-doped KNLN samples sintered at same temperature with 4.25 g/cm3. Moreover, the addition of AgSbO3enhanced the piezoelectric and dielectric properties. Piezoelectric constant (d33), the planar electromechanical coupling factor (kp) and the relative dielectric permittivity (K33T) increased up to 230pC/N, 43.5%, 1080, respectively, with addition of AgSbO3.

Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 (BCTZ) ceramics, one of the lead-free pizoelectric materials, were focused due to the environmental concern against lead. A modified BCTZ powder sol-gel fabrication process was experimentally introduced with the addition of glycerol, in order to provide an effective approach to optimize the piezoelectric response of BCTZ ceramics. The results showed that the piezoelectric properties enhanced in terms of the piezoelectric coefficient of d33, 510 pC/N and the electromechanical coupling coefficient of kp, 0.501. The enhancement in electrical properties, such as dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric, could be related to the homogenous microstructure and larger grain size of BCTZ ceramic powders after the introduction of glycerol during the modified sol-gel strategy.
