Abstract

Via the method of cold sintering with post-annealing, the lead-free ceramics K0.45Na0.45Li0.1NbO3 were prepared. The cold sintered pellet without post-annealing shows a relative density (ρr) of 77.9%, which is larger than ρr of the green pellet via the conventional solid-state sintering (SSS) method (65.1%). The cold sintered pellets were post-annealed at temperatures between 975°C and 1075°C. The effect of post-annealing temperatures on microstructure, dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics was studied in detail. After being post-annealed, the relative densities and grain sizes of the ceramics were increased. The ceramics post-annealed at 1050°C show excellent dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties. Compared to the conventional SSS method, the method of cold sintering with post-annealing is successful in preparing dense K0.45Na0.45Li0.1NbO3 lead-free ceramics in a wide temperature range and at relatively low temperatures.
