Abstract
Metal oxides (Fe2O3, CuO and MnO) are usually doped into KNN-based ceramic as sintering aids to improve its microstructure. But KNN-based ceramic is very sensitive to composition, small amount of dopant can generate huge electrical property change. In this work, we investigate small amount of three metal oxides (0.05 wt%) doping into 0.96K0.48Na0.52Nb0.96Sb0.04O3–0.04Bi0.5Na0.5ZrO3 ceramic. Due to their different ion radius, they replace different site ions of perovskite. Generating diametrically contradictory performance changes. Compared to undoped ceramic they display different doping features, the Fe/Mn-doped ceramics present soft doping feature while Cu-doped ceramic presents hard doping feature (undoped ceramic d33 = 470 pC/N, Fe-doped ceramic d33 = 520 pC/N, Cu-doped ceramic d33 = 400 pC/N, Mn-doped ceramic d33 = 483 pC/N). Our work shows that the effect of small amount of metal oxides on electrical properties cannot be ignored, and it provides some guidance for further understanding of the metal oxide doping mechanism.
