Description
This research studied the effect of LiSbO${}_3$ on microstructure and electrical properties of lead-free Bi${}_{0.5}$(Na${}_{0.80}$K${}_{0.20}$)${}_{0.5}$TiO${}_3$ ceramics with the composition belonging to Bi${}_{0.5}$(Na${}_{0.80}$K${}_{0.20}$)${}_{0.5}$TiO${}_3$-LiSbO${}_3$ or (1-$x$)BNKT-$x$LS(when $x$ = 0, 0.005, 0.010, 0.015, 0.020 mol fraction). The BNKT-LS ceramics were prepared by a conventional mixed oxide method and sintered at 1100${}^{\circ}$C for 2h. X-ray diffraction pattern of all compositions exhibited a single perovskite structure without impurity phase. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to determine the microstructure of ceramics. Pure BNKT ceramic promoted a formation of cubic-like shape grains with an average grain size of 0.25 ± 0.05 mm. With increasing LS concentration, average grain size value gradually increased and showed the maximum value of 0.34 ± 0.10 mm at $x$ = 0.02. The addition of LS into BNKT ceramic did not obviously change grain morphology, however, it caused fracture surface to switch from mixed inter-transgranular fracture for pure BNKT to mainly transgranular fracture for LS-added samples. A large room temperature dielectric constant of 1367 and dielectric loss of 0.0435 were observed for BNKT-0.015LS sample.
