Abstract

In the present communication, lead-free ceramics having composition 0.98(K_0.5Na_0.5NbO₃)-0.02(Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃) were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state reaction route. The Rietveld refinement for the 0.98KNN-0.02BNT reveals an MPB with phase fraction Amm2 (87.76 %) and Pm-3m (12.27%). The SEM study predicted a mean diameter of 0.98KNN-0.02BNT grains as 0.52µm±0.19. The 0.98KNN-0.02BNTceramic displayed a typical hysteresis loop with a remnant polarisation(P_r) of 7.0 μC/cm², saturation polarization (P_s) of 16 μC/cm^2,and a coercive field (E_c) of 26 kV/mm. The electrical, Raman spectra, dielectric, and hysteresis loop study supported a morphotropic phase boundary. The synthesized KNN-BNT lead-free material can be an excellent material for designing new devices like ultrasonic transducers and piezo-actuators.
