Abstract

(1−xy)(K0.45Na0.55)NbO3yBi0.5Na0.5ZrO3xBaHfO3–0.2%MnO2 ceramics without antimony have been fabricated by the conventional solid-state method, and influences of Bi0.5Na0.5ZrO3 and BaHfO3 contents on their structure and electrical properties are studied. Composition modification can result in the formation of rhombohedral–orthorhombic–tetragonal phase coexistence in the ceramics (y = 0.04 and 0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.02 as well as x = 0.01 and 0.04 ≤ y ≤ 0.045). In the region of this phase boundary, the ceramics exhibit both enhanced piezoelectric properties (d33 ~ 385 pC/N, kp ~ 51%, S ~ 0.157%) and high Curie temperature (TC ~ 320 °C). Especially, good comprehensive properties and the absence of antimony make the material more environmentally friendly.
