Abstract

This work compared the effects of different sintering methods on the microstructure and anti-ferroelectric properties of lead-free 0.89Bi 0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.06BaTiO3-0.05K 0.5Na0.5NbO3 ternary system ceramics. The ceramics by two-step sintering method had smaller grain size and more uniform microstructure than those of the ceramics by single-step sintering method. The mechanism of grain growth in different sintering methods is discussed. The ceramics by two-step sintering method exhibited better anti-ferroelectricties than those of the ceramics by single-step sintering method. The polarization hysteresis (P-E) loop showed optimum electrical performances with a low remanent polarization (Pr=5.4 μC/cm2) and a coercive field (Ec=8.2 kV/cm), and the energy density (W) reached 0.90 J/cm 3 at 10 Hz. The storage capacity is three times that of the single-step sintering ceramics.
