摘要
Lead-free K1-xNaxNbO3 ceramics with x=0.48-0.54 were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method to investigate the influence of the K/Na ratio on phase structures and electrical properties. The results suggest that a typical morphotropic phase boundary exists at x=0.52-0.525, separating the monoclinic and orthorhombic phases. The sample with the composition near x=0.52 shows the maximum values of the piezoelectric constant (d(33)=160 pC/N) and the electromechanical coupling coefficient (k(t)=47%). The results provide a helpful guidance to consider the optimal ratio of K to Na for designing and developing new (K,Na)NbO3-based ceramics.
