Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics in the (1-x)(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3- xKNbO3:(1-x)BNT-xKN system, were prepared by a two-step mixed oxide method and investigated over the entire compositional range where x = 0.0 to 1.0. Difficulty in preparing dense ceramics was encountered where the content of KN is great...
