Abstract

Lead-free piezoceramics of (1 − x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3–xBaSnO3 (BNT–BS, x = 0, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.06, 0.09 and 0.12) have been synthesized and investigated. A rhombohedral–tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) exists near x = 0.03. The MPB composition shows improved electrical properties: the saturated polarization, remnant polarization, coercive field, piezoelectric coefficient, planar electromechanical coupling factor, and unipolar strain are 35.8, 28.5 μC/cm2, and 4.5 kV/mm, 93 pC/N, 0.19, and 0.18 %, respectively. It is also found the introduction of BS can significantly enhance dielectric property. The structural and electrical properties are discussed by comparing with other BNT-based piezoceramics.
