N2 - Na0.5Bi2.5Ta2O9-based piezoelectric ceramics, Na0.5-xBi0.5- xLixCexBi2Ta2- xScxO9-x (NBTO-x, x = 0-0.05), were synthesized by using a solid-state reaction process, and their electro-mechanical properties and electrical conduction behaviors were investigated in detail. The Li+/Ce3+/Sc3+ modification improved the electro-mechanical properties of the ceramics effectively, whereas further N2 or O2 annealing led to no obvious increase in piezoelectric coefficient (d33). The composition x = 0.03 ceramic with high temperature stability had a Curie point (T c) of 784 °C and a d33 of 25.8 pC/N, and its electromechanical coupling factors, kp and kt, were 11.8% and 20.7%, respectively. Variable-atmosphere (air, O2 and N 2) impedance data suggested that the NBTO-x ceramics were mainly p-type materials contributing from the bulk response, and the conducting species were holes (h•). Therefore, lower bulk resistivity (ρ ) and lower activation energy (Ea) were associated with the treatment with higher PO2 (oxygen partial pressure). In addition, the O2 atmosphere had stronger impact on the conductivity of the pure NBTO than those of the acceptor NBTO-x, and the grain and grain boundary contributed to its resistivity together.
