Abstract: | CeO2-doped K0.5Na0.5NbO3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have been fabricated by a conventional ceramic fabrication technique. The ceramics retain the orthorhombic perovskite structure at low doping levels (<1 mol.%). Our results also demonstrate that the Ce-doping can suppress the grain growth, promote the densification, decrease the ferroelectric–paraelectric phase transition temperature (T C), and improve the dielectric and piezoelectric properties. For the ceramic doped with 0.75 mol.% CeO2, the dielectric and piezoelectric properties become optimum: piezoelectric coefficient d 33 = 130 pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling coefficient k p = 0.38, relative permittivity εr = 820, and loss tangent tanδ = 3%. |
