Abstract

The ZnO-doped 0.96(K_0.5Na_0.5)NbO₃–0.04LiNbO₃ (KNLN) piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by conventional ceramics process, using oxides and carbonates mixture, sintered in the solid state at 1050°C. Effect of ZnO on structure and dielectric, ferroelectric, piezoelectric properties of KNLN ceramics were studied. The experimental results showed that the ZnO-doped KNLN ceramics have the pure perovskite structure with orthorhombic symmetry at x  0.5 wt.% ZnO. The ZnO addition significantly improved the electrical properties of KNLN ceramics. At ZnO content of 0.5 wt.%, the electrical properties of ceramics are the best: k_p=0.35, k_t=0.45, d₃₁=52pC/N, Q_m=33, P_r=8.0 C/cm².
