Abstract

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with the composition of (1 − x)(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3–xBi(Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3 [(1 − x)KNN–xBMT, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.04] were synthesized via solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that the orthorhombic—tetragonal phase transition was present for (1 − x)KNN–xBMT with increasing the content of BMT. The study of dielectric properties illustrated that both peaks of orthorhombic—tetragonal (T O–T ) and tetragonal—cubic (T T–C ) phase transitions shifted to lower temperature. Through adding BMT, the electrical properties of KNN ceramics were obviously improved. The optimized piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties with d 33  = 127 pC/N, k p  = 36.58 %, P r  = 22.1 μC/cm2 were obtained as x = 0.01.
