The new (0.96‐x)(K0.48Na0.52Nb0.96Sb0.04)O3‐0.04(Bi0.5Ag0.5)ZrO3‐x(Fe2O3‐In2O3) ceramics with high dielectric, and electromechanical coupling properties were designed. In this work, the effect of KNN‐based ceramics lattice distortion (c/a) and microstructure on the electrical properties was explored by varying the doping amount of Fe3+ and In3+. The problem of a large number of oxygen vacancies generated by the volatilization of K and Na can be well solved by introducing Fe3+ and In3+. The bulk density increases significantly and the maximum value is about 4.52 g/cm3.The sample with x = 0.003 has the smallest c/a, and exhibits the best piezoelectric and dielectric properties (d33 = 536 pC/N, εr = 3432 and kp = 55.8 %). Low doping concentration of Fe2O3 is considered a “soft” addition for KNN‐based piezoelectric ceramics. The study of this mechanism provides a new idea to regulate the electrical performance of KNN‐based ceramics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
