Piezoelectric properties and related figures of merit are studied in novel 1–3-type composites based on ferroelectric domain-engineered lead-free single crystal with the relatively large longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient [Formula: see text]. Relationships between the piezoelectric properties and the set of figures of merit are analyzed for the 1–3 and 1–3–0 composites that contain the same single-crystal and polymer components. For a composite characterized by 1–3–0 connectivity, an influence of a porous piezo-passive matrix on the figures of merit and their volume-fraction behavior is considered additionally. A large anisotropy of figures of merit is observed in the 1–3–0 composite with specific porous matrices. A diagram is put forward to show volume-fraction regions of the large anisotropy of figures of merit of the studied 1–3–0 composite. Due to large figures of merit and their considerable anisotropy, the studied lead-free composites can be applied in piezoelectric energy-harvesting systems, sensors, transducers, and so on.

Recent Developments

In the last few years, there has been tremendous effort to develop lead-free ferroelectric ceramics with high piezoelectric properties by various doping and alloying routes. Several material systems have been explored, however, no prominent alternative to the versatile lead zirconate titanate (PZT) system has been found yet. Despite the achieved improvement in piezoelectric properties, there are problems in the synthesis, processing and poling of the sintered ceramics. Various processing techniques including microwave, hydrothermal, sol–gel, Pechini and spark plasma sintering have been used to overcome the drawbacks related to synthesis issues. In this paper, an attempt is made to review recent developments on lead-free piezo materials emphasizing their preparation, structure–property relations, and consequent physical properties. In this context, both compositional and structural engineering approaches to achieve acceptable piezoelectric properties in lead-free materials are discussed. Piezoelectric properties of the most promising lead-free compositions/families including titanates, alkaline niobates and bismuth perovskites and their solid solutions, along with non-perovskites such as bismuth layer-structured ferroelectrics are reviewed in detail. A brief coverage of the recent developments in the area of piezoelectric energy harvesting is also encompassed.

Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 (BCTZ) ceramics, one of the lead-free pizoelectric materials, were focused due to the environmental concern against lead. A modified BCTZ powder sol-gel fabrication process was experimentally introduced with the addition of glycerol, in order to provide an effective approach to optimize the piezoelectric response of BCTZ ceramics. The results showed that the piezoelectric properties enhanced in terms of the piezoelectric coefficient of d33, 510 pC/N and the electromechanical coupling coefficient of kp, 0.501. The enhancement in electrical properties, such as dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric, could be related to the homogenous microstructure and larger grain size of BCTZ ceramic powders after the introduction of glycerol during the modified sol-gel strategy.

(K,Na)NbO3-based piezoelectric ceramics are promising candidates for practical applications of lead-free piezoelectric materials due to their excellent piezoelectric properties. In this paper, lead-free piezoelectric ceramics (K0.44Na0.52Li0.04)(Nb0.86Ta0.10Sb0.04)O3(KNL-NTS)were successfully fabricated by traditional ceramics processing. The effects of sintering temperature on the structure, density and electrical properties of KNL-NTS ceramics were investigated. Crystal phases of both calcined powders and KNL-NTS ceramics have orthorhombic structure similar to that of KNbO3 ceramics. The piezoelectric coefficient first increases and then decreases with sintering temperature in the 1100-1180 °C range. KNL-NTS ceramics sintered at 1160 °C shows the maximum piezoelectric coefficient of about 199 pC·N-1and the maximum remnant polarization of 18.75 μC·cm-2, with the corresponding 10.95 kV·cm-1coercive field and 4.74 g/cm3density.

Although a great deal of work has been done to understand defect chemistry in "soft" and "hard" PZT-based materials, there is little understanding of how defect chemistry influences the properties of lead-free piezoelectric materials. This paper reports a systematic investigation of doping on the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties in Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 (NBT)-based ceramics. NBT-based ceramics have been synthesized by traditional solid state routes using several different dopants including lanthanum, manganese, and iron in 1 mol%. The addition of iron and manganese lead to an increase in the coercive field (E c ), a decrease in the piezoelectric coefficient (d33), and an increase in the thermal depoling temperature (T depole ), similar to the behavior of "hard" PZT. Lanthanum, on the other hand, leads to a decrease in the E c , an increase in d33, and a decrease in T depole similar to that seen in "soft" PZT.

A system of hydrostatic parameters is studied in novel 2–0–2 composites that contain two lead-free piezoelectric single-crystal components. The ferroelectric domain-engineered alkali niobate-tantalate-based single-crystal layer promotes large values of the piezoelectric coefficients [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], hydrostatic squared figure of merit [Formula: see text], and hydrostatic electromechanical coupling factor [Formula: see text] of the composite wherein the 0–3 Li2B4O7 single crystal/polyethylene layers are adjacent to the aforementioned single-crystal layer. Hereby, the role of the elastic anisotropy of the 0–3 layer is emphasized. An orientation effect concerned with rotations of the crystallographic axes of the piezoelectric Li2B4O7 single crystal in the 0–3 layer is first studied. It is shown that the orientation of the crystallographic axis [Formula: see text] of the Li2B4O7 single crystal in the polymer matrix strongly influences the piezoelectric properties and hydrostatic parameters of the composite. Examples of the so-called waterfall-like orientation dependences of the hydrostatic parameters are analyzed. The composite based on the domain-engineered [Lix([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]]([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]O3:Mn single crystal is of interest due to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mV[Formula: see text]m/N, [Formula: see text] Pa[Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]–0.75 in the studied volume-fraction and orientation ranges, and these hydrostatic parameters are to be taken into account in the field of piezotechnical, hydroacoustic, and energy-harvesting applications.

The effective electromechanical properties andanisotropy factors of novel lead-free 1–3-type compositesare studied to demonstrate their large piezoelectricanisotropy and considerable level of electromechanicalcoupling. The composites studied contain two single-crystal components and a polymer component. The firstpiezo-active component is a domain-engineered [001]-poled single crystal based on ferroelectric alkali niobates-tantalates, and this component is in the form of a system oflong rods that are parallel to the poling axis OX3. Thesecond single-crystal component is a system of spheroidalpiezoelectric Li2B4O7 inclusions aligned in a continuousand relatively large polymer matrix. The single-crystalrods are surrounded by a single crystal / polymer matrix,and the connectivity of the composite is 1–0–3. It is shownthat the conditions d * /| d * | 3 5, which indicates a large 33 31degree of anisotropy of the piezoelectric coefficients, and k* /|k* |35and k*/|k*|35,whichindicatealargeanisotropyof the electromechanical coupling factors, can be achievedsimultaneously in specific ranges of the component volumefractions and inclusion aspect ratios. Moreover, in thesame volume-fraction and aspect-ratio ranges, largeelectromechanical coupling factors (k* » k* » 0.8–0.9) are 33 talso achieved. In this context, the important role of the elastic properties of the continuous anisotropic matrix is discussed. The properties and anisotropy factors of the lead-free 1–3-type composites are compared to similar parameters of conventional lead-containing piezoelectric materials, and the advantages of the composite system studied are described.
