Lead-free piezoceramicsK0.5Na0.5NbO3were prepared by pressureless sintering. The effects of sintering temperature on the density and electrical properties of KNN ceramics were investigated. The results show that the den- sity of the KNN ceramics changes dramatically in a narrow temperature range of 1065-1120 ℃. The density of the ceramic sintered at 1100 ℃ reaches 4.35 g/cm3 (95% of the theoretical density). The ceramic sintered at 1100 ℃ shows the best electrical properties: the maximum piezoelectric coefficient of about 118 pC/N, the maximum relative dielectric constant of 538, the minimum dielectric loss of 4.70%, the remanent polarization of 15.37 μC/cm2 and the coercive electric field of 13.16 kV/cm. The phase transformation temperature from orthorhombic to tetragonal is about 206 ℃, and the Curie temperature is 410 ℃.
