Abstract

Extending the investigations on (Na 0.5 K 0.5 )NbO 3 -based solid solution for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, this paper consider the complex solid-solution system (Na 0.5 K 0.5 )NbO 3 –Bi 0.5 (Na 0.8 0 K 0. 20 ) 0.5 TiO 3 [NKN-BNKT]. (Na 0.5 K 0.5 )NbO 3 with 2 ~ 6 mol% Bi 0.5 (Na 0.8 0 K 0. 20 ) 0.5 TiO 3 has been prepared following the conventional mixed oxide process. A morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between orthorhombic (O) and tetragonal (T) was found at the composition 0.97NKN-0.03BNKT with correspondingly enhanced dielectric and piezoelectric properties. The electromechanical coupling factor and dielectric constant are higher for compositions near the MPB. The dielectric constant (ε r ), planar coupling coefficient ( k p ) and thickness coupling coefficient ( k t )of 0.97NKN-0.03BNKT ceramics were 1483, 32% and 31%, respectively.
