Abstract
The MnO2-doped 0.98(K0.5Na0.5)NbO 3-0.02LaFeO3 [0.98KNN-0.02LF-x] lead-free ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state sintering method. The effects of MnO2 doping on the phase structure, microstructure, and electrical properties of the ceramics were investigated. The results reveal that MnO 2 is an excellent sintering aid for the 0.98KNN-0.02LF-x ceramics to improve the densification and decrease the sintering temperature. Additionally, the MnO2 doping significantly increases the dielectric permittivity and decreases the dielectric loss of the 0.98KNN-0.02LF ceramics. The 0.98KNN-0.02LF-1.5 mol% ceramics show excellent high temperature dielectric properties: the dielectric permittivity εr is approximately 2000 and dielectric loss tgδ is smaller than 3% at a broad temperature range from 100 to 400 C.
