Abstract
A lead-free ceramic with the composition (K0.55Na0.45)0.965Li0.035Nb0.80Ta0.20O3 was found having an outstanding piezoelectric performance. It possesses high piezoelectric properties of d33=262 pC/N, kp=0.53, k33=0.63, and k31=0.31 with e′=1290 and tan δ=0.019 at room temperature. In spite of the orthorhombic-tetragonal polymorphic phase transition around 30 °C, temperature stability of the electromechanical coupling coefficients is very good over the common usage temperature interval between −40 and 85 °C. Furthermore, the piezoelectric properties remain almost unchanged in the severe thermal aging test down to −150 °C and up to about 300 °C. It is suggested that the outstanding piezoelectric performance of this ceramic can be largely ascribed to the phase coexistence in a wide temperature range and the Ta-rich composition.
