Studying the Effects of Nano Sintering Additives on Microstructure and Electrical Properties of Potassium-Sodium Niobate Piezoceramics

Authors

Abstract:

In this paper, lead free (K0.48,Na0.52)NbO3 (KNN(48-52)) piezoelectric ceramics were made by conventional solid state sintering process. Additives of nano ZnO (n-ZnO), nano CuO (n-CuO) and nano SnO2 (n-SnO2) were used in order to decrease the sintering temperature, as well as modifying the dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. Phase structure and microstructure were analyzed using X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The largest piezoelectric constant of d33= 150 pC/N was obtained for KNN (48-52) with 0.6 mol% n-ZnO at sintering temperature of 1070 °C, which is two times larger than that of pure KNN (48-52) at higher sintering temperatures. Additionally, KNN(48-52) ceramics co-doped with 0.8 mol% n-ZnO, 0.5 mol% n-CuO and 0.8 mol% n-SnO2, showed dielectric and piezoelectric properties of d33= 97 pC/N, tanδ = 0.006 and εr = 172 at sintering temperature of 960 ºC, which are much better than corresponding values for pure KNN at 1110 ºC.

Effect of nano and micron WO3 on microstructure and electrical properties of lead free potassium sodium niobate piezoceramics

Lead free potassium sodium niobate (KNN) piezoceramics were synthesized via conventional solid state sintering route. Nano and micron WO3 were separately added to KNN through ball-milling. Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of samples sintered in the temperature range of 1110°-1145°C were measured by precision LCR-meter and APC d33-meter devices. The results revealed that micron WO3 partic...

The effect of titanium dioxide and molybdenum oxide on the properties of sodium potassium niobate piezoceramic

Sodium potassium niobate piezoceramics are considered as lead-free piezoelectric due to their good properties. In this study, the effect of titanium dioxide and molybdenum oxide as dopant on the densification behavior, piezoelectric and dielectric properties of lithium doped sodium potassium niobate ((K0.5Na0.5)0.94Li0.06NbO3, KNNL) was investigated. For this purpose, (K0.5Na0.5)0.94Li0.06Nb0.9...

Studying the effects of adding CeO2 and CuO on electrical properties of lead free (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 piezoceramics

Lead-free (Ba0.85Ca0.15)[(Zr0.1Ti0.9)]O3 (BCZT) piezoceramics were synthesized using solid-state ceramic processing. In order to improve the electrical properties CeO2 and CuO additives/dopants were used and two methods were employed to introduce theses oxides; one, in which 0.1 mol.% CeO2 was mixed with the raw materials and the composition was balanced for A-site substitution (BCCe0.1ZT) and ...

Sintering of Lead-Free Piezoelectric Sodium Potassium Niobate Ceramics

The potassium sodium niobate, K0.5Na0.5NbO₃, solid solution (KNN) is considered as one of the most promising, environment-friendly, lead-free candidates to replace highly efficient, lead-based piezoelectrics. Since the first reports of KNN, it has been recognized that obtaining phase-pure materials with a high density and a uniform, fine-grained microstructure is a major challenge. For this rea...
