Extending the investigations on (Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 )TiO 3 -based solid solution for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, this paper consider the complex solid-solution system (Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 )TiO 3 –(Bi 0.5 K 0.5 )TiO 3 [BNT-BKT]. (Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 )TiO 3 with 7~ 30 mol% (Bi 0.5 K 0.5 )TiO 3 ceramics have been prepared following the conventional mixed oxide process. A morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between rhombohedral (R) and tetragonal (T) was found at the composition 0.82BNT-0.18BKT with correspondingly enhanced piezoelectric properties. The electromechanical planar coupling factor is higher for compositions near the MPB. The mechanical quality factor (Q m ), planar coupling coefficient ( k p ) and thickness coupling coefficient ( k t ) of 0.82BNT-0.18BKT ceramics were 125, 28.8% and 47.4%, respectively.
