Abstract The piezoelectric voltage constant (g33) is a material parameter critical to piezoelectric voltage-type sensors for detecting vibrations or strains. Here, we report a lead-free (K,Na)NbO3 (KNN)-based piezoelectric accelerometer with voltage sensitivity enhanced by taking advantage of a high g33. To achieve a high g33, the magnitudes of piezoelectric charge constant d33 and dielectric permittivity er of KNN were best coupled by manipulating the intrinsic polymorphic phase boundaries effectively with the help of Bi-based perovskite oxide additives. For the KNN composition that derives benefit from the combination of er and d33, the value of g33 was found to be 46.9 ´ 10-3 V·m/N, which is significantly higher than those (20 - 30 ´ 10−3 V·m/N) found in well-known polycrystalline lead-based ceramics including commercial Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT). Finally, the accelerometer sensor prototype built using the modified KNN composition demonstrated higher voltage sensitivity (183 mV/g) when measuring vibrations, showing a 29% increase against the PZT-based sensor (142 mV/g).

Piezoelectric Characteristics

In this study, we investigate the piezoelectric characteristics of 0.55Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.45Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PNN-PZT) with MnO2 additive (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 mol%). We focus on the fabrication of a piezoelectric ceramic for use as both actuator and sensor for ultrasound transducers. The actuator and sensor properties of a piezoelectric ceramic depend on the piezoelectric strain coefficient d and piezoelectric voltage coefficient g, related as g = d/εT. To increase g, the dielectric constant εT must be decreased. PNN-PZT with MnO2 doping is synthesized using the conventional solid-state reaction method. The electrical properties are determined based on the resonant frequencies and vibration modes measured by using an impedance analyzer. The MnO2 addition initially improves the tetragonality of the PNN-PZT ceramic, which then saturates at a MnO2 content of 1 mol%. Therefore, the dielectric constant and piezoelectric coefficient d33 steadily decrease, while the mechanical properties (Qm, Young’s modulus), tanδ, electromechanical coupling coefficient k, and piezoelectric voltage coefficient g were improved at 0.5–1 mol% MnO2 content.

Potential Use

Lead-free multiferroic magnetoelectric composites were prepared by incorporating the dispersed 0.4CoFe2O4ferromagnetic nanoparticles into 0.6(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3-LiSbO3ferroelectric micromatrix. From the x-ray diffraction analysis, it was observed that almost no chemical reaction occurs between the ferrite and the ferroelectric materials used to form the composite. Dielectric properties as a function of frequency were measured. The magnetoelectric couple effect was given as a function of magnetic field with a maximum magnetoelectric voltage coefficient of 15.01mV·cm-1·Oe-1at 1kHz, which was a very high value in the lead-free magnetoelectric composites system for the potential use on actuators and sensors, etc.

Potential Use

Nontoxic lead-free multiferroic composites are synthesized by incorporating the dispersed 0.3 CoFe 2 O 4 (CFO) ferromagnetic nanoparticles into 0.7( K 0.5 Na 0.5) NbO 3- LiSbO 3 (KNN-LS5.2) ferroelectric micromatrix. The multiferroicity of the composite can be verified by polarization-electric field hysteresis loop and magnetic hysteresis loop. The composite exhibits excellent magnetic properties. A dilution effect is observed in magnetic hysteresis loops. The field dependence of ME voltage coefficient is given as a function of magnetic field from -4 kOe to 4 kOe with a maximum magnetoelectric voltage coefficient of 10.7 mV ⋅ cm -1⋅ Oe -1 at the frequency of 1 kHz. It is a very high value in the lead-free magnetoelectric composites system for the potential use on multifunctional devices.
