Various ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction technique according to the compositional formula of (1-x) BaTiO3+xCuO withx= 0.00 ~ 0.05. The influence of CuO additive on microstructure, crystalline structure and dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. It has been found that CuO acts like a sintering aid in the CuO-modified BaTiO3ceramics to promote the ceramic densification and suppress the abnormal grain growth during sintering process, and decreases the orthorhombic-tetragonal phase transition temperature. The CuO-modified BaTiO3ceramics show desirable microstructures with high density, small average grain size and uniform grain size distribution. For the one withx= 0.01, it has the good piezoelectric properties ofd33= 300 pC/N,kp= 0.49,k33= 0.62 andQm= 425 at room temperature, and exhibits aε'peak at -5°C and ad33maximum of 353 pC/N at 0°C, respectively.

AbstractIt is a very difficult work to sinter K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN)-based materials with good reduction resistance in strong reducing atmosphere. 0.945K0.48Na0.52Nb0.96Ta0.04O3−0.055BaZrO3 + 0.03ZrO2 + y mol%MnO (KNNT−0.055BZ + 0.03Zr + yMn) ceramics sintered in reducing atmosphere were prepared successfully by conventional solid-state reaction methods. MnO dopant increases grain size at y = 5–8 due to strong lattice distortion and then decreases grain size at y = 9 due to much Mn4Nb2O9 accumulated at the grain boundary. MnO dopant as an excellent sintering aid can effectively reduce volatilization of alkali metal by decreasing the sintering temperature (Tsinter). Reducing alkali metal volatilization can greatly reduce oxygen vacancies and improve piezoelectric properties. MnO dopant can improve the anti-reduction properties. The KNNT−0.055BZ + 0.03Zr + yMn ceramics at y = 6–9 show outstanding anti-fatigue of unipolar piezoelectric strain under the synergistic effect of reduced oxygen vacancies due to reduced volatilization and increased grain size. Piezoelectric properties and temperature stability of KNNT−0.055BZ + 0.03Zr ceramics sintered in reducing atmosphere are improved simultaneously by MnO dopant. Optimum inverse piezoelectric coefficient (d 33 * ) of ceramics at y = 8 reaches up to 480 pm/V under low driving electric field E = 20 kV/cm at room temperature, and its temperature stability of d 33 * reaches 158 °C. It will be an excellent lead-free material candidate for the preparation of multilayer piezoelectric actuators co-fired with nickel electrode.

Dielectric And Piezoelectric Properties

In this work, the (Ba1-xCax)(Ti1-yZry)O3 lead-free ceramics were prepared by the two-step sintering method, and effects of Ca and Zr contents on phase structure, densification, microstructure, and electrical properties were investigated. It was found that all samples showed orthorhombic phase. The highest density of 5.84 ± 0.01 g/cm3 was achieved in x = 0.05, y = 0.05 sample. The average grain size, phase transition temperature, dielectric and piezoelectric properties significantly decreased by introducing of the Ca/Zr content. The ceramics with a small amount of Ca and Zr maintain good piezoelectric properties, and a lower dielectric loss. The composition with x = 0.05, y = 0.025 demonstrated optimum electrical properties of d33 ∼211 pC/N, TC ∼ 119 °C, εr ∼ 1788, and tanδ ∼ 0.04.

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.

High-performance fine-grain (1-x)BiScO3-xPbTiO3 ceramics were prepared by two-step sintering method. Influences of sintering temperature, holding time, and composition on the microstructure and properties were discussed. The BSPT ceramics obtained via two-step sintering reaches density higher than 95% at a low temperature of 800°C without any sintering aid, and the grain size of the ceramics is also effectively controlled. Excellent piezoelectric properties between the composition of x=0.63 and x=0.64 reveals a probable MPB in this range, suggesting a potential approach to pursue high performance BSPT ceramics.

Dielectric And Piezoelectric Properties

In this work, the effect of Fe2O3 addition on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)0.2Ti0.4Zr0.4O3 (0.2PZN–0.8PZT) ceramics were investigated. The studies indicated that the solution limit of Fe2O3 in the lattice of perovskite structure was about 0.1 wt%. Phase analysis shows that small addition of doping Fe2O3 results in the phase evolution from rhombohedral to tetragonal, sharp decrease of the Curie temperature, and remarkable increase of the grain size. Meanwhile, Fe2O3 addition within the solution limit led to the increase of the εr, kp, and d33. It is believed that the variation in the dielectric and piezoelectric properties are closely related to the microstructure change, phase evolution, and tetragonal distortion as Fe2O3 added.

In this paper, the structural, magnetic and electrical properties of multiferroic BaFe12O19/MgFe2O4/BaTiO3 composites have been studied. BaFe12O19/MgFe2O4/BaTiO3 composites were synthesized by using the conventional solid state reaction technique and sintered at different temperatures. XRD analysis confirmed the existence of hexagonal BaFe12O19, cubic spinel MgFe2O4 and tetragonal BaTiO3 for ferrites and ferroelectric phases, respectively. The suitable sintering temperature for preparing BaFe12O19/MgFe2O4/BaTiO3 composites is between 1000 °C and 1050 °C. SEM analysis showed that as a whole the grain size increases and the pores is reduced with sintering temperature; thus the sample became denser. The coercive field and saturation magnetization decreases when sintering temperature is increased. Resistance of the samples decrease from 103 kW to 19 kW while the capacitance increases from 0.8 nF to 4.0 nF with sintering temperature.

In this paper, 0.95K0.5Na0.5NbO3-0.05LiTaO3 ceramics were synthesized by conventional mixed-oxide technique. To clarify the optimal sintering condition, three kinds of different temperature conditions were used. It was found that the samples sintered near 1130 °C had the best piezoelectric properties (d33~155 pC/N). In addition, sintering aid such as K5.4C1.3Ta10O29 was investigated to confirm whether it really benefited to the sintering process and increased the piezoelectric property of ceramics.
