Abstract
Abstract In this study, the effect of sintering temperature (1000–1100 °C for 2 h) on phase formation, phase transition, microstructure and electrical properties of lead-free piezoelectric (K0.44Na0.52Li0.04)(Nb0.84Ta0.10Sb0.06)O3 (KNLNTS) solid solution with 0.3 wt%Bi2O3 + 0.4 wt%Fe2O3 + 0.2 wt%CuO additive (abbreviate as modified KNLNTS) was investigated. Modified KNLNTS ceramics were synthesized by the solid-state combustion technique using glycine as fuel. The modified KNLNTS powders were prepared using the calcination condition of 650 °C for 2 h. The XRD pattern of all sintered ceramics exhibited a pure perovskite phase. Using Rietveld refinement to analyze the phase formation showed that the modified KNLNTS ceramics had co-existing phases of orthorhombic and tetragonal in all sintered ceramics and the orthorhombic phase increased when the sintering temperature increased. The average grain size, TO-T, Tc, Pr and Ec increased with increasing sintering temperature. At the sintering temperature of 1025 °C, the modified KNLNTS ceramic showed the best electrical properties (Cε ≈ 6745, Smax ≈0.274% and d*33 ≈ 548 pm/V). The good electrical properties of the modified KNLNTS ceramics makes them good candidates for lead-free applications to replace Pb-based ceramics.
期刊介绍:
Integrated Ferroelectrics provides an international, interdisciplinary forum for electronic engineers and physicists as well as process and systems engineers, ceramicists, and chemists who are involved in research, design, development, manufacturing and utilization of integrated ferroelectric devices. Such devices unite ferroelectric films and semiconductor integrated circuit chips. The result is a new family of electronic devices, which combine the unique nonvolatile memory, pyroelectric, piezoelectric, photorefractive, radiation-hard, acoustic and/or dielectric properties of ferroelectric materials with the dynamic memory, logic and/or amplification properties and miniaturization and low-cost advantages of semiconductor i.c. technology.
