Abstract Electrocaloric (EC) structures for a new generation of cooling or heating elements utilize the temperature dependence of spontaneous polarization in some ferroelectric materials to convert waste heat into electricity and vice versa. A (Pb0.93La0.07) (Zr0.65Ti0.35)O3 material, have the largest recorded pyroelectric coefficient. An effective predicted form for such applications is fiber, due to small heat capacitance and quick response time, even for nano second laser excitation. Consequently, the presented work provides a description of the optimization of structural, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of obtained fibers, finally concluding on necessity of sintering temperature reduction in 100°C in contrast to bulk form to effectively prevent its destruction.

Lead-free potassium sodium niobate ceramic, with the nominal composition of K0.5Na0.5NbO3, were synthesized by conventional solid state sintering, and its dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties were characterized as a function of sintering temperature. The orthorhombic to tetragonal phase transition (TO-T) temperature of K0.5Na0.5NbO3ceramic sample was about 220°C, and its Curie temperature was about 420°C. The high bulk density was obtained for all compositions by solid state sintering in air. Bulk density was increased with temperature and it reached to 4.4 g/cm3. The K0.5Na0.5NbO3ceramic sample sintered at 1100°C was optimized densification properties. In addition, the ferroelectric loop and dielectric characteristics dependence of different sintering temperature for K0.5Na0.5NbO3ceramic sample was obtained. Finally, we found that the piezoelectric constant (d33) was 160 pC/N, high remanent polarization (Pr) was 33mC/cm2, and high electromechanical coupling coefficients (kP) was about of 45%.

In this research, the effects of sintering temperature on phase structure, densification, microstructure, mechanical and electrical properties of modified-PZT ceramics were investigated. All ceramics were prepared by a conventional mixed oxide amend sintered at various temperatures from 1150 - 1250°C. XRD pattern indicated that completely solid solution occurred for all samples and the ceramics exhibited a single perovskite without any secondary phases. At lower sintering temperature, the dominant phase was rhombohedral while tetragonal phase became dominant at higher temperature. Grain size tended to increase with increasing sintering temperature. The dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties were also increased with increasing sintering temperature. In addition, the highest low field d33 of 620 pC/N of was observed for the 1250°C sample.

Structures, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of (Na0.5Bi0.5)0.90Ba0.10TiO3 ceramic sintered at different temperatures were investigated. The results confirm an important role of sintering temperature on the structure and electrical properties of the ceramic. It was found that the increase of sintering temperature in the range of 1110-1160 promoted the development of crystal structure and microstructural densification, leading to an improvement in ferroelectric properties, poling process and piezoelectric properties. Further increase of the sintering temperature above 1160 resulted in a slight deformation of ceramic specimens. With respect to sintering behavior and piezoelectric properties, a relatively narrow sintering temperature range near 1150 was ascertained to be preferred for the ceramic.
