Abstract
(1-x)Bi0.5(Na0.82K0.18)0.5Ti0.96(Al0.5Nb0.5)0.04O3-xBi0.46Na0.46Ba0.5La0.02Ti0.97Zr0.03O3 lead-free ceramics (abbreviated as BNKTAN-100xBNBLTZ) was prepared by the conventional solid reaction. XRD patterns and EDS spectrums revealed that a stable solid solution had been formed between BNBLTZ and BNKTAN. With the introduction of BNBLTZ anti-ferroelectric content, BNKTAN relaxor ferroelectrics exhibited the excellent field-induced-strain for x = 0.04 corresponding to electric field-induced strain S ∼ 0.505 % and normal strain d33* ∼777 pm/V at 65 kV/cm. The large strain response was attributed to the emergence of PNRs in the relaxation process. Additionally, an excellent fatigue resistance performance was obtained within 105 cycles (S = 0.505 %–0.495 % and d33* = 777–758 pm/V, 65 kV/cm). It suggested that prepared ceramics had the great potential to strain sensor and actuators.
