Abstract

The lead-free solid solution \( (1-x) \)(K0.48Na0.52)0.95Li0.05Nb0.95Sb0.05O3-xBa0.5(Bi0.5Na0.5)0.5ZrO3 [KNLNS-xBBNZ] with 0.02 < x < 0.05 was successfully prepared by a conventional solid-state route. The effect of BBNZ on the KNLNS phase structure, microstructure and electrical properties was investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns demonstrated a single-phase perovskite-type structure and for 0.02 < x < 0.03 a rhombohedral–tetragonal (R–T) phase coexistence. In addition, the average crystal size greatly decreased with BBNZ doping. Furthermore, the piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of the KNLNS-xBBNZ ceramics were enhanced at x = 0.02 (\( d_{33} \) = 292 pC/N, \( - \;d_{31} \) = 100 pC/N, \( k_{\rm{p}} \) = 48%, \( \varepsilon_{\rm{r}} \) = 5876, \( \tan \delta \) = 0.03) due to a high polarizability at a local level. For x = 0.02, the solid solution showed good thermal stability of the \( d_{33} \) piezoelectric constant. As a result, this lead-free solid solution holds potential for applications in electric generators and high-temperature sensors.
