Abstract

Lead-free [(Na0.54K0.46)0.96Li0.04](Nb0.80Ta0.20)O3(abbreviated as NKL-NT) ceramics were synthesized by conventional solid state sintering method and the effect of Co substitution on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The crystal structure and microstructure were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM images. The crystal structure exhibited the tetragonal structure at the composition ceramics less than 1 mol% Co. However, with increasing Co substitution from 1.5 to 2.0 mol%, the ceramics showed morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) and the crystal structure of the ceramic possessed orthorhombic structure at 3 mol% Co. The grain size was increased with increasing of Co contents. The phase transition temperature tetragonal-cubic(TC) and orthorhombic-tetragonal(TO-T) were shifted to downward and upward with increasing Co contents, respectively. The high piezoelectric properties of d33 = 259[pC/N], kp = 0.43 and Qm = 109 were obtained from the 1.5 mol% Co substituted ceramics sintered at 1060 °C for 5 h.
