Abstract

KNN-LS-BF-0.4mol%CuO piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the traditional sintering method. The effects of sintering temperature on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of KNN-LS-BF-0.4mol%CuO ceramics were studied. The results reveal that the sintering temperature has significant influence on the microstructure and the properties of KNN-LS-BF-0.4mol%CuO ceramics. With the increase of sintering temperature from 1,040 to 1,080 °C, the grains become more homogeneous and more tight-arrangement, resulting in the higher relative density as well as the best dielectric and piezoelectric properties. However, the properties of the samples would be deteriorated as they are sintered over 1,080 °C.
