Enhanced grain growth in lead-free (1-x)(Na<inf>0.5</inf>Bi<inf>0.5</inf>)TiO<inf>3</inf>- XAgNbO<inf>3</inf>solid solution ceramics
The lead-free (1-x)(Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 )TiO 3 - xAgNbO 3 (x = 0.00-0.15) ceramics were synthesized by solid state reaction. Anomaly large grain growth was observed by scanning electron microscopy with an average grain size reaching 90 μm for x = 0.02. The incorporation of AgNbO 3 into (Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 ) Ti...

| Summary: | The lead-free (1-x)(Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 )TiO 3 - xAgNbO 3 (x = 0.00-0.15) ceramics were synthesized by solid state reaction. Anomaly large grain growth was observed by scanning electron microscopy with an average grain size reaching 90 μm for x = 0.02. The incorporation of AgNbO 3 into (Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 ) TiO 3 led to highly dense ceramics without the addition of binder or sintering aid. The ceramics are slightly deficient in bismuth on the surface, which caused the formation of Na 2 Ti 6 O 13 whiskers. These whiskers can be removed by polishing for subsequent piezoelectric and ferroelectric characterizations. |
