Abstract

(Na0.96−xCa0.04Lix)(Nb0.96Zr0.04)O3 (CZNNL) ceramics with high density were successfully prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The effect of Li dopants on the structure, electrical properties and stability of antiferroelectricity has been investigated. Enhanced antiferroelectric superlattice peaks was observed for CZNNL (x ≤ 0.01) using X-ray diffraction. Li substitution can effectively destabilize the antiferroelectric phase and correspondingly the ferroelectric phase can be enhanced. The field-induced polarization increase and the average grain size decrease with increasing Li concentration. The CZNNL (x = 0.01) ceramics can preserve the double polarization hysteresis loops at room temperature and at 120 °C.
