Morphotropic phase boundary in (1−x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3–xK0.5Na0.5NbO3 lead-free piezoceramics
TLDR
In this article, the electromechanical behavior of (1−x)Bi0.5Na 0.5TiO3-xK0.4NbO3 (BNT-KNN) lead free piezoelectric ceramics is investigated for 0⩽x⩾0.12 to gain insight into the antiferroelectric-ferroelectric (AFE-FE) phase transition on the basis of the giant strain recently observed in BNT-based systems.Abstract:
The electromechanical behavior of (1−x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3–xK0.5Na0.5NbO3 (BNT-KNN) lead free piezoelectric ceramics is investigated for 0⩽x⩽0.12 to gain insight into the antiferroelectric-ferroelectric (AFE-FE) phase transition on the basis of the giant strain recently observed in BNT-based systems. At x≈0.07, a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between a rhombohedral FE phase and a tetragonal AFE phase is found. While the piezoelectric coefficient is largest at this MPB, the total strain further increases with increasing KNN content, indicating the field-induced AFE-FE transition as the main reason for the large strain.read more

TL;DR: A lead-free piezoelectric ceramic with an electric-field-induced strain comparable to typical actuator-grade PZT is reported, achieved through the combination of the discovery of a morphotropic phase boundary in an alkaline niobate-based perovskite solid solution, and the development of a processing route leading to highly textured polycrystals.
