Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (abbreviated as KNN) with the relative density of 97.6% have been synthesized by press-less sintering owing to the careful control of processing conditions. The phase structure of KNN ceramics with different sintering temperature and heating rate was analyzed. Results show that the pure perovskite phase with orthorhombic symmetry is in all ceramics specimens. The effect of heating rate and sintering temperature on microstructure and piezoelectric properties of KNN ceramics was investigated. The densification behavior and piezoelectric properties of KNN ceramics were enhanced by improving heating rate and sintering temperature. Pure KNN ceramics sintered at 1120 °C with heating rate of 5 °C/min showed optimized densification and piezoelectric properties (ρ = 4.4 g/cm3, d33 = 120 pC/N−1, kp = 0.40 and Tc = 400 °C). The results show that KNN is a promising candidate for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics.
