The research and development on piezoelectric ceramics and devices are very important from the viewpoints of various aspects. The demand of the sustainable development of the world and the environmental and safety concerns with respect to the utilization, recycling, and disposal of Pb-based piezoelectric materials have induced a new surge in developing lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with properties comparable to their lead-based counter. Based on the research results in the authors' group and aboard, new development on lead-free piezoelectric ceramics worldwide, the research progresses of the perovskite structure niobate-based lead-free piezoelectric ceramics and the related devices are summarized, including the component design, temperature stability, and preparation technology of (K,Na)Nb03 (KNN) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics; recent important research results and their significance of the lead-free piezoelectric ceramics; and the device applications of the KNN lead-flee piezoelectric ceramics. And some prospects to be resolved and the development trend in coming years from the viewpoint of the applications of the perovskite lead-free piezoelectric ceramics are also pointed out.
