摘要
In this communication, we report on the effects of alkaline elements (K, Na, and Li) content on the electrical properties of (K0.48Na0.48Li0.04)(Nb0.90Sb0.06Ta0.04)O-3 ceramics. Because of the high volatility, the alkaline elements evaporate during the high-temperature sintering process, generating vacancy defects in the ceramics. As a result, the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics become weakened. Our results reveal that the volatilization loss can be effectively compensated by a 1 mol% excess of alkaline elements. The remanent polarization P-r, piezoelectric coefficient d(33), and electromechanical coupling coefficient k(p) of the compensated ceramics are improved by 15%, 16%, and 20%, respectively, having a value of 30 mu C/cm2, 310 pC/N, and 0.6.
