In this research, substitution effects of BiAlO3 with (Bi, Na)TiO3 piezoelectric ceramics was investigated for the sensors and actuators applications. (Bi,Na)TiO3 material has been employed for the piezoelectric devices applications because of their high piezoelectric charge constant, d33, of 88 pC/N, electromechanical coupling coefficient, kp, of 22% and inverse piezoelectric charge constant of 498 pm/V. As a piezoelectric material, (Bi, Na)TiO3 has perovskite structure with tetragonal basis. The improvement of piezoelectric and inverse piezoelectric properties is important for industrial device applications. Therefore, in this research, we have tried to increase functional and electrical properties of (Bi, Na)TiO3 piezoelectric materials by substituting BiAlO3 dopants. As a result, the piezoelectric constant was increased up to 140 pC/N, and the densification was increased up to 5.92 g/cm3 .

Lead-free (1-x)K0.49Na0.51NbO3-xLiTaO3 (x=0.00-0.07) piezoceramics were fabricated by the conventional solid-state sintering method, the effects of LiTaO3 content on the phase structure and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics were investigated. All the ceramics show single perovskite structure with a phase transition from an orthorhombic symmetry to a tetragonal one across an orthorhombic-tetragonal coexistence region with 0.04<x<0.06. For the ceramic sample with x=0.05, due to the coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal phases near room temperature, enhanced piezoelectric constant d33=236 pC/N and planar electromechanical coupling coefficient kp=40.9% are observed. In addition to other good electrical properties such as εr=969, tgδ=0.015 and Qm=41, this ceramic is a promising lead-free piezoelectric material.

Alkali niobate lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with nominal compositions [(Na0.52K0.48)0.94+ xLi0.06-x](Nb0.94Sb0.06)O3 ((NK)xLNS) were prepared by normal sintering. Crystalline phase, piezoelectric properties and sintering behavior of (NK)xLNS ceramics were investigated with a special emphasis on the influence of alkli metal content. The x-ray diffraction patterns and the corresponding calculation of lattice parameters indicated that a phase transition from tetragonal to orthorhombic symmetry occurs as x=0.01, resulting in enhanced piezoelectric constant and planar electromechanical coupling coefficient of 266 pC/N and 38.5%, respectively. With x=0.01, the ceramics sintered at 1050 C show higher density and better electrical properties. Our results indicate the importance of sintering temperature and elaborate compositional control for enhancing piezoelectric properties in niobate-based ceramics.

Lead Free Ceramics

PbZrO3-PbTiO3 (PZT)-based ceramics are playing a dominant role in piezoelectric materials, their evaporation of harmful lead oxide during the sintering process causes a crucial environment problem. It is necessary to search for lead-free piezoelectric materials that have such excellent properties as those found in the PZT-based ceramics. Therefore (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-based solid solutions were studied to improve piezoelectric properties. In the present study, various quantities of Bi2O3 were added into 0.98(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-0.02Ba(Sn0.02Ti0.98)O3 (0.98NKN-0.02BST) ceramics. It was found that 0.98NKN-0.02BST with the addition of 0~4.0 wt.% Bi2O3 exhibit relatively good piezoelectric properties. For 0.98NKN-0.02BST ceramic with the addition of 1.0 wt.% Bi2O3, the electromechanical coupling coefficients of the planar mode kp and the thickness mode kt reach 0.21 and 0.46, respectively, at the sintering of 1100oC for 3 h. The ratio of thickness coupling coefficient to planar coupling coefficient is 2.2. It is obvious that 0.98NKN-0.02BST solid solution ceramic by adding low quantities of Bi2O3 is one of the promising lead-free ceramics for high frequency electromechanical transducer applications.

It is well known that piezoelectric ceramics are wildly used in many fields such as electrical sensors, actuators, alarm equipments etc. In this paper，the microstructure and the piezoelectric properties of Pb（Zr1/2Ti1/2）1-x（Nb2/3Mg1/3）xO3 (PMNZT) were studied. A novel B-site precursor method was adopted for preparing of Pb（Zr1/2Ti1/2）1-x（Nb2/3Mg1/3）xO3 samples. For investigating the crystallographic phase and microstructure of the samples, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) methods have been adopted respectively. The results show that a pure perovskite structure can be obtained after sintering at 1220°C for 2h. Through this experiment, it has been found that when sintering at 1220°C for 2h and the amounts of the Pbx（Nb2/3Mg1/3）xO3 (PMN) is 0.14, the Pb（Zr1/2Ti1/2）1-x（Nb2/3Mg1/3）xO3 samples are with the best electrical properties as follows: dielectric constant (ε) is 1858, dielectric loss(tanδ) is 0.017, electromechanical coupling coefficient (Kp) is 0.515, piezoelectric constant(d33) is 362PC/N

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.

In this paper, the effects of different sintering temperature on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3(PNZZT) ceramic samples were investigated. The Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3 ceramics materials was prepared by a conventional mixed oxide method. In the period of the experiment, the relationship between crystallographic phase and microstructure were analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) respectively. The XRD patterns shows that all of the ceramic samples are with a tetragonal perovskite structure. Along with sintering temperature increased and the x is 0.03, the grain size gradually become big. Through this experiment, it has been found that when the x is 0.03 and sintered at 1130°C for 2 h, the grains grow well, the grain-boundary intersection of the sample combined well and the porosity of the ceramics decreased, an excellent comprehensive electrical properties of the Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3 samples can be obtained. Its best electrical properties are as follows: dielectric constant (ε) is 1105, dielectric loss(tg) is 0.017, electromechanical coupling coefficient (Kp) is 0.287, piezoelectric constant(d33) is 150PC/N

We establish and analyze an analytical framework by accounting for both the piezoelectric and flexoelectric effects in bimorph cantilevers. The focus is placed on the development of governing electroelastodynamic piezoelectric–flexoelectric equations for the problems of resonant energy harvesting, sensing, and actuation. The coupled governing equations are analyzed to obtain closed-form frequency response expressions via modal analysis. The combined piezoelectric–flexoelectric coupling coefficient expression is identified and its size dependence is explored. Specifically, a typical atomistic value of the flexoelectric constant for barium titanate is employed in the model simulations along with its piezoelectric constant from the existing literature. It is shown that the effective electromechanical coupling of a piezoelectric material, such as barium titanate, is significantly enhanced for thickness levels below 100 nm. The electromechanical coupling coefficient of a barium titanate bimorph cantilever increases from the bulk piezoelectric value of 0.065 to the combined piezoelectric–flexoelectric value exceeding 0.3 toward nanometer thickness level. Electromechanical frequency response functions for resonant power generation and dynamic actuation also capture the size-dependent enhancement of the electromechanical coupling. The analytical framework given here can be used for parameter identification and design of nanoscale cantilevers that can be used as energy harvesters, sensors, and actuators.
