摘要
Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics (Bi1鈭?em>xNa0.8K0.2Lax)0.5TiO3 were synthesized successfully by conventional solid state reaction method. The piezoelectric, dielectric and ferroelectric characteristics of the ceramics were investigated and discussed. The XRD results show that La3+ has diffused into (BiNa0.8K0.2)0.5TiO3 (BNKT) lattices to form a new solid solution (Bi1鈭?em>xNa0.8K0.2Lax)0.5TiO3 with a pure perovskite structure. Partial substitution of La3+ for Bi3+ in the BNKT ceramics can enhance their piezoelectric, without an obvious decline of ferroelectric properties. The piezoelectric measurements and P-E hysteresis loops reveal that the ceramic with x = 0.005 has the highest piezoelectric performance and strong ferroelectricity. At high La3+ level (x > 0.04), the low dielectric anomaly at Td disappears. A maximum strain of 0.16%is obtained at x = 0.02 for the (Bi1鈭?em>xNa0.8K0.2Lax)0.5TiO3 ceramic. The depolarization temperature Td decreases with x increasing (x = 0-0.08), and the depolarization mechanism is analyzed.
