In this study, specially used in fluidic jetting apparatus, the electrical properties of piezoelectric ceramics were investigated by the resonance method and from its vibratory motion point of view. The piezoelectric ceramics were a rectangular bar type bulk and estimated by their piezoelectric constants, for example, electromechanical coupling factor, piezoelectric strain constant and so on. The measured values were compared with the displacement by the Laser Doppler Vibrometer analysis and with the droplet properties.

Na0.48K0.47Li0.05)NbO3(NKLN)Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics doped with CuO were prepared by traditional solid-state reaction method. Influence of calcined temperature on the material phase of NKLN lead-free piezoelectric ceramics doped with CuO by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the influence of calcined temperature and sintered temperature on the properties of NKLN lead-free piezoelectric ceramics doped with CuO by others analysis method. The results show that the best calcined temperature is got, when calcined temperature is up to 850 °C, the mixed phase disappeares, a single phase perovskites structure is formed. With the increase of calcined temperature, piezoelectric strain constant (d33) planar electromechanical coupling factor (Kp) of NKLN lead-free piezoelectric ceramics increase first and then decrease, while only dielectric loss (tanδ) decreases first and then increases.The best calcined temperature is 850 °C, the best sintered temperature is 1080 °C, the NKLN lead-free piezoelectric ceramics doped with CuO with good comprehensive properties are obtained, whose d33, Kp, tanδ are 85 pC/N, 0.3, 0.038, respectively.

(1-x) (K0.475Na0.475Li0.05)(Nb0.975Sb0.025)O3-xmolBiFeO3 (x=0, 0.002, 0.004, 0.006, 0.008) doped with 0.8mol%CuO lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the solid state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction patterns suggested that all the ceramics presented perovskite structure. The compositional dependence of the phase structure and the electrical properties of the ceramics were studied. The ceramic (x=0.002) near room temperature exhibited excellent electrical properties (piezoelectric constant d33=172pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling factor kp=0.43, and dielectric constant =418). A relatively high mechanical quality factor (Qm=200) was also obtained in this particular composition. All these results revealed that this system might become a promising candidate for lead-free piezoelectric materials.

This work presents an analysis on the main microstructural parameters that affect the dielectric and piezoelectric behavior of ceramics of calcium-modified lead titanate with Ca/Pb = 26/74. To this aim, ceramics were prepared under different sintering conditions to get a series of materials with different microstructures. Compositional and microstructural characterization was achieved by x-ray diffraction, energy dispersion spectroscopy, and optical microscopy. Computerized image analysis was carried out on the micrographs to determine grain and pore size distributions. These distributions were thoroughly analyzed using probability plots. Electromechanical coupling factors and piezoelectric coefficients were measured by the resonance method on thickness poled thin disks and rectangular bars. A similar combined effect of the grain size and the percentage of porosity on the inverse of the permittivity, the coupling factors at room temperature, and the temperature behavior of the electromechanical coupling factor k31 is found.

(Na,Bi)TiO3-BaTiO3lead free piezoelectric ceramics were fabricated with modification of CaCu3Ti4O12additives. The phase structure, morphology, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of prepared samples were investigated, respectively. It was found that CaCu3Ti4O12additives evidently improve the polarization properties of (Na,Bi)TiO3-BaTiO3lead free ceramics and the obtained samples exhibit an excellent piezoelectric properties (electromechanical coupling factorKp=31%, mechanical quality factorQm=151 and piezoelectric constantd33=160pC/N). According to results, the effect of CaCu3Ti4O12additives on electrical properties of (Na,Bi)TiO3-BaTiO3lead free piezoelectric ceramics is discussed.

Bi2O3 doped (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.94Ba0.06TiO3 (BNBT6) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were fabricated by a conventional sintering technique. The effects of Bi2O3 on the piezoelectric properties and microstructures of the doped BNBT6 were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that a solid solution was formed when Bi2O3 diffused into BNBT6 lattice and the crystal structure of the sintered hybrid changed from rhombohedral to tetragonal symmetry with increasing Bi2O3 amount. Piezoelectric and dielectric properties measurements revealed that doping Bi2O3 within a certain range enhanced the piezoelectric coefficient (d33), electromechanical coupling factor (kp), relative dielectric constant (ε33 T/ε0), and dielectric loss (tanδ). When 3mol% Bi2O3 was doped, both d33 and kp of the ceramics reached their maxima, 165pC/N and 24%, respectively.

Barium titanate (BaTiO3) ceramics with a high-density were fabricated by two-step sintering method from hydrothermally synthesized 100 nm BaTiO3 nano-particles. The best specimen with an average grain size of 1.6 μm and a density of 5.91 g/cm3 (98.3% of the theoretical value). The dielectric constant was 4500 and electromechanical coupling factor kp was 45%. Large piezoelectric constants d33 = 460 pC/N and d31 = -185 pC/N were observed in the specimens. This was an important practical result towards obtaining a high d33 in non-lead-based BaTiO3 ceramics manufactured by a low-cost process. These results also indicated the possibility of using BaTiO3 ceramics in piezoelectric devices at room temperature. Temperature dependence of dielectric constant showed two peaks located at 24 and 126 oC, corresponding to orthorhombic-to-tetragonal phase transition temperature Tot and Curie temperature Tc, respectively. Owing to the size effect of nanocrystals, Tot shifted to 24 oC. The maximum of electromechanical coupling factor kp appeared close to the phase transition temperature. It also caused a very large temperature coefficient of resonance frequency from room temperature to 60 oC. Hysteresis curve measurement showed a very low coercive field Ec = 115 V/mm. A large Poisson’s ratio, about 0.38, was determined from the ratio of overtone frequency and resonant frequency in the planar mode. The high Poisson’s ratio and the large dielectric constants are most likely the origin of the high piezoelectric constants in the ceramics.
