The electrostrictive effect has some advantages over the piezoelectric effect, including temperature stability and hysteresis-free character. In the present work, we report the diffuse phase transitions and electrostrictive properties in lead-free Fe3+-doped 0.5Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3-0.5(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 (BZT-0.5BCT) ferroelectric ceramics. The doping concentration was set from 0.25 to 2 mol %. It is found that by introducing Fe3+ ion into BZT-0.5BCT, the temperature corresponding to permittivity maximum Tm was shifted toward lower temperature monotonically by 37 °C per mol % Fe3+ ion. Simultaneously, the phase transitions gradually changed from classical ferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transitions into diffuse phase transitions with a weak relaxor characteristic. Purely electrostrictive responses with giant electrostrictive coefficient Q33 between 0.04 and 0.05 m4/C2 are observed from 25 to 100 °C for the compositions doped with 1–2 mol % Fe3+ ion. The Q33 of Fe3+-doped BZT-0.5BCT ceramics is almost twice the Q33 of other ferroelectric ceramics. These observations suggest that the present system can be considered as a potential lead-free material for the applications in electrostrictive area and that BT-based ferroelectric ceramics would have giant electrostrictive coefficient over other ferroelectric systems.

The photoluminescence , dielectric relaxation, ferroelectric hysteresis, and field-induced strain properties of Pr 3+ -doped 0.24Pb(In 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 -0.42Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -0.34PbTiO 3 (PIN-PMN-PT:Pr 3+ ) multifunctional ceramics have been investigated. It was found that Pr 3+ doping enhanced the dielectric diffuseness and relaxation behavior of PIN-PMN-PT ceramics. Slim P - E loops and S - E curves appear in PIN-PMN-PT:Pr 3+ ceramics when the Pr 3+ doping concentration reaches 1.4 mol%. Local domain configurations associated with phase transitions were investigated by piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). Large electrostrictive coefficient Q 33 (˜0.03 m 4 /C 2 ) and high energy-storage efficiency η (92%) were obtained in 2 mol% Pr 3+ -doped PIN-PMN-PT ceramic in the ergodic relaxor (ER) phase at room temperature. The giant electrostrictive effect and excellent energy-storage performance are related to the field-induced dynamic behavior of polar nanoregions (PNRs). The results show that the PIN-PMN-PT:Pr 3+ system is an excellent multifunctional material for making electromechanical and energy storage devices.

The electric field in ferroelectric ceramics can induce notable deformations or strains based mainly on the electrostrictive effect if the driving field is sufficiently large (normally larger than the coercive field). Therefore, a large electrostrictive effect is highly desired to achieve a high strain output. In the present work, 0.5Ba(Zr 0.2 Ti 0.8 )O 3 -0.5(Ba 0.7 Ca 0.3 )TiO 3 (BCZT50) ferroelectric ceramics doped with different numbers of Mn ions were synthesized and their dielectric and ferroelectric properties were studied to comprehensively evaluate the electrostrictive effect in this system. The doping levels were set as 0.0025, 0.005, 0.01, and 0.02. It was found that Mn ions could lower the temperature corresponding to the maximum permittivity, T m , drastically and induce diffuse phase-transition behaviors simultaneously. Most importantly, a purely electrostrictive effect with a longitudinal electrostrictive coefficient, Q 33 , as large as 0.0466 m 4 /C 2 was observed between 22 and 80 °C. The Q 33 of Mn-doped BCZT50 ceramics is much higher than some representative lead-based and lead-free ferroelectric ceramics. In this paper, a potential lead-free ferroelectric system with a large electrostrictive effect, which has potential applications in electrostrictive actuators, is reported.

The electrostrictive effect, which induces strain in ferroelectric ceramics, offers distinct advantages over its piezoelectric counterpart for high-precision actuator applications, including anhysteretic behavior even at high frequencies, rapid reaction times, and no requirement for poling. Historically, commercially available electrostrictive materials have been lead oxide-based. However, global restrictions on the use of lead in electronic components necessitate the exploration of lead-free electrostrictive ceramics with a high strain performance. Although various engineering strategies for producing materials with high strain have been proposed, they typically come at the expense of increased strain hysteresis. Here, we describe the extraordinary electrostrictive response of (Ba0.95Ca0.05)(Ti0.88Sn0.12)O3 (BCTS) ceramics with ultrahigh electrostrictive strain and negligible hysteresis achieved through texture engineering leveraging the anisotropic intrinsic lattice contribution. The BCTS ceramics exhibit a high unipolar strain of 0.175%, a substantial electrostrictive coefficient Q33 of 0.0715 m4 C–2, and an ultralow hysteresis of less than 0.8%. Notably, the Q33 value is three times greater than that of high-performance lead-based Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 electrostrictive ceramics. Multiscale structural analyses demonstrate that the electrostrictive effect dominates the BCTS strain response. This research introduces a novel approach to texture engineering to enhance the electrostrictive effect, offering a promising paradigm for future advancements in this field.

Polyurethane elastomers as a type of electroactive polymers have wide applications in soft actuators, soft sensors and energy harvesting due to their high dielectric constant, high electrostriction coefficients, easy processing and structure adjustability, and superior biocompatibility etc. However, the relationship between microstructure and electromechanical properties of EAEs has not been fully understood. In this work, we fabricated the branch structured poly(urethane–urea) elastomers (PUUs) using hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene as soft segment, isophorone diisocyanate and 4,4-diaminodicyclohexylmethane as hard segment, and hydroxyl-terminated four-armed polycaprolactone (PCL410) as branch structured chain extender for improving bending actuation performances, and understanding the relationship between structure and electromechanical properties. The degree of branched structure of PUUs were adjusted by the content of PCL410. The microphase separation kinetics of PUUs was enhanced as increase of PCL410 content, whereas the degree of microphase separation and hard domain size of PUUs were reduced. The mechanical loss and bending actuation stress of PUUs were significantly improved by incorporation of small amount of branched structure into PUU chains. The PUU with 2.60 mol.% of PCL410 showed 5.16 mm of bending displacement and 5.16 Pa of bending actuation stress at 7.2 kV (corresponding to 180 V mm−1 of the nominal electric field), which were 76.3, and 79 times higher than that of PUU without PCL410, respectively. The electric field induced bending actuation mechanism of branch structured PUUs was suggested that the bending actuation mechanism of branch structured PUUs is caused by electrostrictive effect from dipole orientation induced bending deformation of constrained segments and asymmetric charge density distribution on both anode and cathode sides of PUU films. Our results can provide new insight on design novel electroactive polyurethane elastomers.
