Dielectric And Piezoelectric Properties

The Nb modified PZT piezoelectric ceramic was synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction, where all of different particle sizes had the same physical properties. 0-3 modified PZT/PVDF composites were formed by hot-pressing method. The particle size effect of modified PZT on the relative dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the composites were investigated. The relative dielectric constant εr, piezoelectric constant d33 and electromechanical coupling factor kp were higher in the composite containing larger PZT particle size. The microstructures of the composites were studied by SEM, the composite with the finer PZT particle size was more homogeneous, but larger particle size was easy to be contacted. In a high volume fraction particle-loaded composite, some piezoelectric ceramic particle appeared to be in contact, as in a 1-3 connectivity pattern. The larger particle size of modified PZT itself could be seen as the grain of modified PZT contact in a 1-3 connectivity pattern and easy to be contacted each other compared to the finer particle size in the composites, thus reducing the resistance of the composites and the poling process became effective, which led to higher properties. The optimal particle size of PZT is about 100μm, the Nb modified PZT/PVDF (volume fraction 70/30) composite show higher dielectric and piezoelectric properties than the others, εr=156.6, d33=69pC/N and kp=0.358.

Ferroelectric And Piezoelectric Properties

The structure and electrical characteristics of the lead-free Lix(K0.5Na0.5)1-x(Nb0.8Ta0.2)O3 (x=0~0.05) piezoelectric ceramics for the conventional solid-state reaction method and the B-side pre-calcined method were achieved and compared. For the B-side pre-calcined method, the lead-free ceramic material exhibited the excellent electrical and piezoelectric properties. The relative dielectric constant (εr) and loss (tan δ) of the Lix(K0.5Na0.5)1-x(Nb0.8Ta0.2)O3 for x=0.03 using the B-side pre-calcined method were 1223 and 0.021, respectively. In addition, the electromechanical coupling factors (kp) and Curie temperature (Tc) was 48.5 % and 315°C. Finally, the electrical properties of the lead-free Lix(K0.5Na0.5)1-x(Nb0.8Ta0.2)O3(x=0~0.05) homogeneity ceramics improved by the B-side pre-calcined method were also investigated and discussed.

First, (K,Na)NbO3 (abbreviated as KNN) powders were synthesized by microwave hydrothermal method using Nb2O5, NaOH and KOH as raw materials. The effects of NaOH/KOH mole ratio and reaction temperature on the structure of KNN powders were studied systematically. Near spherical KNN powders of about 800 nm in diameter can be obtained at the optimized processing parameters as follows: NaOH/KOH mole ratio was 1.40/4.60, reaction temperature was 200 °C. Second, the ceramics were successfully prepared from the microwave hydrothermal synthesized KNN powders under 1090 °C for 2 h. This ceramic sample showed the enhanced piezoelectric properties such as piezoelectric constant d33=142 pC/N and planar electromechanical coupling coefficient kp=38%, in addition to other good properties as relative dielectric constant εr=426, Curie temperature Tc=410 °C, remnant polarization Pr=17.45μC/cm2 and coercive field Ec=1.41 kV/mm, indicating that microwave hydrothermal method can improve the properties of KNN ceramics high efficiently.

Piezoelectric ceramics with appropriate curie temperatures and high dielectric and piezoelectric performances are attractive for formations of ceramic/polymer piezoelectric composites. The PSZT ceramics with compositions of 0.98Pb1.0-xBaxTi0.48Zr0.52O3-0.02PbSbO3 (x=0.14~0.24) have been prepared by a conventional solid reaction process. The ceramic structures are analyzed by X-ray diffraction and the barium substitution leads to structural changes of the tetragonal and rhombohedral phases which constitute the perovskite PSZT ceramics, and lattice distortions. The curie temperature almost linearly decreases from 226 °C to 141 °C corresponding the barium content increases from 0.14 to 0.24 in the ceramics. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties are largely influenced by the barium substitution and when the barium content at vicinity of 0.22, the piezoelectric strain constant d33 exhibits a dramatic change. It is found that as the barium content around 0.22, the PSZT ceramic specimen is characterized with a low curie temperature Tc=156 °C, and satisfied dielectric and piezoelectric properties with the relative dielectric constant εr=5873, dielectric loss factor tanδ=0.0387, piezoelectric strain constant d33=578 pC/N.

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.

In order to increase piezoelectric properties of 0-3 type cement piezoelectric composites (piezoelectric cement) developed for structural health monitoring, nano-quartz powders, as the replacement of cement matrix, were added into PZT/cement composites. The piezoelectric cement consists of 50% PZT and 50% cement by volume. Two gradations of PZT inclusions, single-grading and medium-grading, were chosen to fabricate the piezoelectric cement. Nano-quartz powders of 1% to 6% were added to form nano-quartz piezoelectric cement. Experimental results indicate that nano-quartz powders can reduce the porosity of piezoelectric cement. The single-grading piezoelectric cement (PSQ) with 4% nano-quartz powders and the medium-grading one (PMQ) with 2% have the lowest porosity. The maximum values on both piezoelectric strain factor d33 and relative dielectric constant εr always occur at the minimum porosity of nano-quartz piezoelectric cement. Both the PSQ and the PMQ have the optimum d33=104 pC/N. For the PSQ, 4% nano-quartz powders provide a 22% enhancement on thickness electromechanical coupling coefficient Kt. However, the effect of nano-quartz powders displays as less effective to the Kt of the PMQ due to non-uniform distribution of PZT particles. Nano-quartz piezoelectric cement has higher piezoelectric properties able to monitor and detect concrete structural health.

(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3 with Bi0.5(Na0.97K0.03)0.5TiO3 with x≤0.05 has been prepared by the conventional mixed oxide process. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that, during sintering, all the Bi(Na0.97K0.03)TiO3 diffuses into the lattice of (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3 to form a solid solution with a perovskite structure. A morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between orthorhombic (O) and rhombohedral (R) was found at the composition 0.98(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-0.02Bi0.5(Na0.97K0.03)0.5TiO3 [abbreviated as 0.98NKN-0.02BNKT] with correspondingly enhanced dielectric and piezoelectric properties. For 0.98NKN-0.02BNKT ceramics, the electromechanical coupling coefficients of the planar mode kp and the thickness mode kt reach 0.33 and 0.49, respectively, after sintering at 1100 oC for 3 h. The ratio of the thickness coupling coefficient to the planar coupling coefficient is 1.48. With suitable Bi0.5(Na0.97K0.03)0.5TiO3 concentration, a dense microstructure and good electrical properties are obtained.

Dielectric And Piezoelectric Properties

The new piezoelectric ceramic of PbTiO3-PbZrO3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 -Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 with composition close to the morphotropic phase boundary was studied. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of Pb0.96Sr0.04[(Zr1-yTiy)0.74(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.20(Zn1/3Nb2/3)0.06]O3 were investigated, the composition range examined are 0.47 £ y £ 0.57. From the results of XRD and piezoelectric measurement, it is supposed that the composition with y = 0.51 corresponds to M.P.B. between tetragonal and pseudocubic perovskite. Some developed phenomena or models are introduced and take it to interpret well. After optimal choice of these conditions, the planar coupling factor close to 0.65, mechanical quality factor Qm close to 75, the longitude wave velocity close to 4100 m/s and the poled dielectric constant close to 2600 can be approached in this study.
