The invention discloses
potassium sodium niobate-based leadless piezoelectric
ceramic and a preparation method thereof, the
chemical formula of the
potassium sodium niobate-based piezoelectric
ceramic is (1-x) (K0. 5Na0. 5) NbO3-xBi (Li0. 5Sb0. 5) O3, and x is more than or equal to 0.01 and less than or equal to 0.20. The preparation method comprises the following steps: weighing dry raw materials according to a stoichiometric ratio of (1-x) (K0. 5Na0. 5) NbO3-xBi (Li0. 5Sb0. 5) O3, mixing, carrying out ball milling, and
drying to obtain a mixed material; pre-
sintering the mixed material obtained in the step 1 at a high temperature to obtain pre-sintered
powder, and performing secondary ball-milling and
drying to obtain secondary ball-milled
powder; adding an
adhesive into the secondary ball-milled
powder, granulating, sieving, and carrying out
compression molding, so as to obtain a
ceramic blank; removing the organic
adhesive, and
sintering at high temperature to obtain
sintered ceramic;
coating the surfaces of the two sides of the
sintered ceramic with silver and carrying out high-
voltage polarization, and preparing the
potassium sodium niobate-based leadless piezoelectric ceramic. Through component design and
process optimization, the
sintering characteristic of the
potassium sodium niobate-based ceramic is effectively improved, volatilization of sodium and potassium elements is inhibited, the
porosity is reduced, the density of the ceramic is improved, the
dielectric constant is further improved, the loss is reduced, and the comprehensive performance of the KNN-based ceramic is improved.
