To develop lead free piezoelectric materials Bi0.5(Na1-xKx)0.5TiO3-yBiFeO3 (abbreviated as BNKTx-BFy, x=0.18, 0.20 and 0.22, y=0.03 and 0.07) ceramics were prepared by solid state synthetic method. The formation of a solid solution of BNKT with BF has proven to omit the impurity of bismuth ferrite and resulted in a pure perovskite phase. The room temperature ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of these ceramics were studied. The morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) of Bi0.5(Na1-xKx)0.5TiO3 ceramics between rhombohedral and tetragonal exactly locates at x=0.20. Polarization versus electric field (P-E) hysteresis and relative dielectric constant ɛr studies show maximum remanent polarization Pr= 33µC/cm2and ɛr =5435, respectively. The depolarization temperature Td, the maximum temperature Tm and piezoelectric coefficient d33 were obtained at x=0.20 and y=0.03, 80 oC, 275 oC and 120 pC/N, respectively.
