Abstract

[(Na_0.5K_0.5)_1-xLi_x](Nb _0.96Sb_0.04)O₃ [NKLNS100x] ceramics with 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1 were sintered at 1040 °C for 2 h and the specimens with x ≥ 0.05 had a dense microstructure due to liquid phase sintering. The specimen with x = 0.05 had both orthorhombic and tetragonal phases, and showed good piezoelectric properties of k_p = 0.43, d₃₃ = 243 pC/N and ε₃₃^T/ε₀ = 990. The [(Na _0.5K_0.5)_0.95Li_0.05](Nb _0.96Sb_0.04)O₃ [NKLNS5] ceramics sintered at 960 °C also showed a high density by the addition of CuO, due to the production of the CuO and Na₂O-related liquid phase. The Cu²⁺ ions were considered to replace Nb⁵⁺ ions and act as a hardener, which increased the Q_m value of the NKLNS5 ceramics. High piezoelectric properties of k_p = 0.37, Q_m = 560, ε ₃₃^T/ε₀ = 600 and d₃₃ = 170 pC/N were obtained from the specimen containing 1.5 mol% of CuO sintered at 960 °C for 2 h.
