Abstract
In this work, lead-free 0.965Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.035BaTiO3 (BNT-BT) piezoelectric ceramics were synthesized by a sol-gel process. X-ray diffraction pattern of the BNT-BT samples revealed that powder calcined at 600 °C, exhibit a pure perovskite structure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to find the surface morphology and grain size of the investigated ceramics. At an optimized sintering temperature of 1150 °C, well-saturated ferroelectric (P-E) hysteresis loops with high remnant polarization (Pr = 34.8 µC/cm2) and low corrosive field (Ec = 23 kV/cm) were obtained. Electric field-induced strain of 0.137% with a dynamic piezoelectric coefficient (d33 * = 196 pm/V) was observed under 75 kV/cm drawing field. In addition, high static piezoelectric constant (d33 = 138 pC/N) was recorded for the sample sintered at 1150 °C. This value of d33 is comparable to that of BNT-based bulk piezoelectric ceramics.
