- Abstract
The performance of potassium sodium niobate ((K, Na) NbO3, KNN)-based lead-free piezoelectric ceramics has significantly improved over the past decade. However, the performance bottlenecks of KNN-based ceramics cannot be ignored. Here, the Nb2O5 precursor is obtained after thermal pretreatment, which can evidently improve the piezoelectric properties and strain temperature stability of KNN-based ceramics. With the help of the Nb2O5 precursor treated at 800 °C, the optimal piezoelectric constant d33 of 303 pC/N, inverse piezoelectric constant d * 33 of 378 pm/V, Curie temperature TC of 310 °C and electromechanical coupling factor kp of 42% are obtained, and the value of d33 improves by about 30% compared with that of the ceramic prepared with untreated Nb2O5 as raw material. Additionally, in comparison with the strain temperature stability of the ceramics prepared with untreated Nb2O5 as raw material, the temperature stability is enhanced. Therefore, this study provides a useful approach to break the existing performance bottleneck and further improve the properties of KNN-based ceramics.
