Potassium-sodium niobate (K_0.5Na_0.5NbO₃) based piezoelectric ceramics are considered the most potential lead-free piezoelectric ceramics due to their excellent piezoelectric coefficient (d₃₃) and high Curie temperature (T_C). However, the temperature stability of its d₃₃ is poor in comparison with the Pb-based piezoelectric ceramics. To solve this problem, (K_0.5Na_0.5)_0.96Li_0.04(Nb_0.95Sb_0.05)O₃-(Bi_0.5Na_0.5)ZrO₃ (KNLNS-BNZ) piezoelectric ceramic with a single tetragonal phase (T phase) was designed and prepared by the conventional solid-state sintering method and texture engineering. It was found that KNLNS-BNZ-based textured ceramic with T phase at room temperature not only possessed a good piezoelectric coefficient (d₃₃=256 pC∙N^-1) and a longitudinal electromechanical coupling coefficient (k₃₃=34%), but also exhibited excellent temperature stability of d₃₃ and k₃₃ in comparison to the non-textured ceramics. The change rates of d₃₃ and k₃₃ for KNLNS-BNZ-based textured ceramics were 12% and 4% with the measured temperature of 25-250 ℃, respectively. In addition, the 1-3 type transducer composed of KNLNS-BNZ-based textured ceramics and epoxy resin was also prepared and investigated. This 1-3 type transducer not only exhibited a large bandwidth (BW=61.2%) and excellent signal strength (f_c=1 MHz), but also showed excellent temperature stability. As the measured temperature increased to 100 ℃, its bandwidth BW and center frequency f_c were 58.7% and 0.94 MHz, whose rates of change were 4% and 6% in comparison to the results measured at room temperature, respectively. All these results show that KNLNS-BNZ lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have good piezoelectric properties and excellent temperature stability, and the 1-3 type transducer prepared by KNLNS-BNZ can provide reference for the practical application of new lead-free piezoelectric ceramics.
