Eco-friendly (Na, K) Nb03 (NKN)-based piezoelectric ceramic materials were fabricated by conventional ceramic method for shear mode piezoelectric energy harvesting application. NKN-LiTaO3 (LT) based compositions were adopted for the high d15xg15 which is proportional to harvested energy density. The composition 0.935(Na0.535K0.485) NbO3-0.065LiTaO3 was found to be lie on the boundary of tetragonal and orthorhombic phases. With reducing Ta content, the dielectric constant decreased gradually while maintaining high d15, which resulted in increased d15xg15, The composition 0.935(Nao0.535K0.485)) NbO-0.065Li (Nb0.990Ta0.0010) O3 was found to possess excellent piezoelectric and electromechanical properties (d15sxg15 =29 pm2/N, d13 417pC/N, k15= 0.55), and high curie temperature (T 455t).
