  • Patent number: 11958781
    Abstract: The present invention discloses potassium sodium bismuth niobate tantalate zirconate ferrite ceramics with non-stoichiometric Nb5+ and a preparation method therefor. A ceramic powder with a general formula of (K0.45936Na0.51764Bi0.023)(Nb0.89958+0.957xTa0.05742Zr0.04Fe0.003)O3 (?0.01?x?0.04) is prepared by a traditional solid phase method; and then piezoelectric ceramics are prepared by traditional electronic ceramic preparation processes such as granulating, molding, binder removal, sintering and silvering test. An excessive amount of Nb5+ doping improves the temperature stability of the ceramics by providing a domain wall pinning effect. This result demonstrates the promise of potassium sodium bismuth niobate tantalate zirconate ferrite ceramics for a wide range of applications, including sensors, actuators, and other electronic devices.
