| Abstract: | (K0.50Na0.50)0.95? x Li0.05Ag x ](Nb0.95Ta0.05)O3 (KNLNANT- x ) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by normal sintering. Effects of the Ag content on the microstructure and electrical properties of KNLNANT- x ceramics were systematically investigated. It is found that the ceramics with x =0.03 exhibit relatively good electrical properties along with high Curie temperature: ( d 33～252 pC/N, T c～438°C, k p～45.4%, P r～30.1 μC/cm2, E c～13.8 kV/cm, ?r～1030, and tan δ～2.6%). The related mechanism for enhanced electrical properties of the ceramics was also discussed. These results show that KNLNANT-0.03 ceramic is a promising candidate material for high temperature lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. |
