    Abstract

    The effect of sintering condition on structure, microstructure, and ferroelectric properties of (K0.44Na0.52Li0.04) (Nb0.86Ta0.10Sb0.04)- O3 (KNL–NTS) has been investigated. Ceramic powders have been synthesized by the solid-state reaction method and sintered at different temperatures (1115C, 1125C, and 1140C). Then, samples were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and impedance spectroscopy. Through XRD results, the perovskite structure and small peaks corresponding to a secondary phase were detected. Ceramics processed at the highest temperatures showed higher densities and good piezoelectric properties (d33, Kp, and Kt), particularly specimens sintered at 1125C presented the highest piezoelectric performance.The effect of sintering condition on structure, microstructure, and ferroelectric properties of (K0.44Na0.52Li0.04) (Nb0.86Ta0.10Sb0.04)- O3 (KNL–NTS) has been investigated.
