Abstract
The piezoelectric properties of (1−x)(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-xBaTiO3 ceramics were reported and their piezoelectric properties reach extreme values near the MPB (about x = 0.06). The X-ray analysis of (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.94Ba0.06TiO3 ceramics for all compositions exhibited a pure perovskite structure without any secondary phase. Within a certain ratio of contents, the co-doped ceramics enhanced piezoelectric coefficient (d 33 ), lowered the dielectric loss, and increased the sintered density. The temperature dependence of relative dielectric permittivity (K 33 T) reveals that the solid solutions experience two phase transitions, ferroelectric to anti-ferroelectric and anti-ferroelectric to relaxor ferroelectric, which can be proven by P-E hysteresis loops at different temperatures. In addition, the specimen containing 0.04/0.01 wt.% CaO/MnO showed that the coercive field E c was a minimum value of 26.7 kV/cm, while the remnant polarization P r was a maximum value of 38.7 μC/cm2, corresponding to the enhancement of piezoelectric constant d33 of 179 pC/N, electromechanical coupling factor k p of 37.3%, and relative dielectric permittivity K 33 T of 1137. (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.94Ba0.06TiO3 ceramics co-doped with CaO/MnO were considered to be a new and promising candidate for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics owing to their excellent piezoelectric/dielectric properties, which are superior to an un-doped BNBT system.
