| contents | Lead-free (K0.48Na0.48Li0.04)(Nb1-xTax)O3 (KNLNT-x) ceramics were synthesized to study the effects of Li and Ta substitution on phase transition behavior, microstructure, and ferroelectric, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy show that compositions with x < 0.10 exhibit a single orthorhombic (Amm2) phase, while 0.10 <= x <= 0.20 show coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal (Amm2 + P4mm) phases. For x > 0.20, a single tetragonal (P4mm) phase is obtained. Microstructural analysis shows a dense ceramic with decreasing grain size as Ta concentration increases. Temperature-dependent dielectric studies reveal two transitions: orthorhombic-tetragonal (TO-T) and tetragonal-cubic (TC). Both transition temperatures decrease systematically with increasing Ta, and TO-T shifts below room temperature for x > 0.15. The composition KNLNT-0.20 exhibits the highest dielectric constant (Er = 556) and piezoelectric coefficient (d33 = 159 pC/N). The enhanced piezoelectric response is attributed to a morphotropic phase boundary rather than a shift of the polymorphic phase boundary temperature. A composition-temperature phase diagram was constructed based on XRD, Raman, and dielectric data. |
