Abstract

In this study, lead-free (Na0.5K0.5)NbO 3-BiTiO3 ceramics were fabricated by a conventional mixed oxide method. Structural and electrical properties of lead-free (Na 0.5K0.5)NbO3 ceramics with the variation of BiTiO3 were investigated. The results of X-ray diffraction analysis showed a typical polycrystalline perovskite structure without presence of the second phase in all specimens. Sintered density increased with an increasing of BTO and the specimen added with 0.07 mol% of BiTiO3 showed the maximum value of 97.8%. Average grain size decreased and densification increased with an increasing of BiTiO3 contents. The electromechanical coupling factor of the0.01 mol% BiTiO3 doped NKN specimens was 0.32. Dielectric constant, dielectric loss and Curie temperature of the 0.07 mol% BiTiO3 doped NKN specimens were 1185, 0.145% and 400°C, respectively.
