Abstract

The (Ba0.85Ca0.15) (Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 − x   wt% Sr(Cu1/3Ta2/3)O3 [BCZT − x  wt% SCT, x = 0–0.3] lead-free ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state method. The phase structure was investigated by X-ray diffraction. The results show that only a tetragonal phase is observed in these ceramics. The sintering behavior of BCZT ceramics is also improved by using SCT as a sintering aid. The ceramic with x  = 0.2 wt% SCT demonstrates good piezoelectric properties:d33 ~ 577 pC/N and kp ~ 59.1 %, Furthermore, the Curie temperature of the ceramics also increases and reaches 97 °C.
