Abstract

In general, Pb(Sb1/2Nb1/2)–PbTiO3–PbZrO3 (PSN–PZT) is regarded as a ternary system. However, little information about this system has been reported so far. In this paper, xPb(Sb1/2Nb1/2)O3–(1 − x)Pb(Zr0.54Ti0.46)O3 ceramics were studied systematically by X-ray diffraction, SEM observation and electrical measurements. X-ray diffraction analyses show that PSN is neither perovskite structure nor a single phase structure. PSN–PZT isn’t a ternary system. 6 mol% is the maximum value of PSN to form a single perovskite structure in xPSN–(1 − x)Pb(Zr0.54Ti0.46)O3 ceramics. To alter the Sb/Nb molar ratio, it is found that the solid solubility of Sb3+ ion in Pb(Zr0.54Ti0.46)O3 lattice is much smaller than that of Nb5+ ion and determines the solid solubility of PSN in PZT. For the chemical composition of 0.08PbNbO3–0.92Pb(Zr0.54Ti0.46)O3, excellent properties of ε r  = 2078, tanδ = 2.31%, d 33  = 449 pC/N, k p  = 0.69, Q m  = 65 and T C  = 322 °C can be achieved. These properties are superior to that of all compositions with Sb/Nb = 1/1, indicating that the 1/1 ratio of Sb/Nb isn’t the optimal combination for the best electrical properties.
