Proposal of a rhombohedral-tetragonal phase composition for maximizing piezoelectricity of (K,Na)NbO3 ceramics.


ABSTRACT: Great progress in the field of piezoelectricity of (K,Na)NbO3 (KNN) lead-free ceramics, driven by emerging rhombohedral-tetragonal (R-T) phase boundary, has instigated research activity regarding elaborate controls of the phase boundary structure. Through phase-microstructure-property mapping in KNN ceramics doped with Bi-containing perovskite oxides, in this study we for the first time report the existence of a certain R-T phase boundary state by which to create maximum piezoelectric response in KNN systems. This phase boundary condition is usually comprised of approximately 15% R phase and 85% T phase, regardless of the choice of dopant material. Any deviation from this phase composition, either by inclusion of orthorhombic (O) phase or by enrichment of R phase, has a negative effect on the value of d33. These findings can provide useful guidance for chemical doping control associated with the type of phase boundary and the phase composition for advanced KNN-based materials.
