摘要

In this study, (1-x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-Bi0.5K0.5TiO3: xZnO composites are studied systematically to reveal the effects of ZnO on structure and functional properties. The XRD and SEM studies show that most of the ZnO acts as a separated phase while some Zn2+ ions diffuse into the matrix lattice. By Rietveld refinement of XRD data, a decreased rhombohedral phase fraction can be demonstrated. This is manifested by pronounced domain coarsening, reduced domain mobility, and diminished dielectric dispersion. Such a stabilized ferroelectric order effectively improves the thermal stability of composite ceramics, with the Td increased by 30 ~ 40 °C by the addition of ZnO. The optimized x = 0.05 composite ceramics show a large Td of 166 °C and d33 of 117 pC/N simultaneously. Taking advantage of the reduced defect concentration, an excellent fatigue resistance is also achieved in x = 0.05 composite ceramics.
