Abstract:The lowtemperature sintering 0.1Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3) O3-0.1Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3) O3-0.8Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48) O3+x%Li2CO3(PZNPNNPZT) piezoelectric ceramics were synthesized by solidstate reaction method. The effects of Li2CO3 doping on the crystal structure, microstructure and electrical properties for the PZNPNNPZT piezoelectric ceramics were investigated. The experimental results showed that the phase structure of the PZNPNNPZT ceramic transformed from the trigonal phase to the tetragonal phase with the increase of Li2CO3, the grain size firstly increased and then decreased. The electrical properties of PZNPNNPZT ceramics can be effectively improved by doping appropriate amount of Li2CO3. When x is 0.3, the PZNPNNPZT ceramic exhibited the best comprehensive properties: the piezoelectric constant d33=530 pC/N,electromechanical coupling coefficient kp=0.55, mechanical quality factor Qm=60, Cuire temperature TC=176 ℃,relative dielectric constant εr=2 800, residual polarization intensity Pr=32.80 μC/cm2,coercivity field Ec=0.96 kV/mm.
