Grain size effect plays a vital role in piezoelectric performance from both scientific and technological view. However, the underlying structural mechanism related to grain size is still unclear. In the present study, the structural mechanism of grain size effect on piezoelectric performance has been revealed in the prototype Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 system by using in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The miniaturization of grain size tends to favor the appearance of higher symmetric tetragonal phase, while a single monoclinic phase is determined in the coarse-grained ceramics. The direct structural evidence reveals that both tetragonal and monoclinic phases in the fine-grained ceramics are less sensitive to the electric field, corresponding to the inferior piezoelectric performance, while the single monoclinic phase in the coarse-grained ceramics is more active to be driven by the electric field, generating good piezoelectric behavior. Both domain switching ability and lattice strain are suppressed with decreasing grain size, which directly leads to the deterioration in piezoelectric performance. The current results will benefit the structural understanding of the size effect of piezoelectric and other related systems.

The (1- x )Bi 1+ y (Fe 0.96 Mg 0.02 Ti 0.02 )O 3 - x BaTiO 3 (abbreviated as B 1+ y FMT- x BT) system was designed to explore the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) separating rhombohedral ( R ) and tetragonal ( T ) phases, and the mechanism of performance enhancement. The phase structure of samples was discreetly investigated by X-ray diffraction, and Rietveld refinement results of the XRD data revealed that the B 1+ y FMT- x BT ceramics consist of an R phase at x = 0.24, two R and T phases at 0.26 ≤ x ≤ 0.32, and a single T phase at x = 0.34. Because of the MPB and the improvement of resistivity with adding excess Bi compensation, excellent piezoelectric properties of d 33 = 198 pC/N and k p = 30.9%, as well as high Curie temperature T C = 497 °C were achieved in the B 1+ y FMT- x BT system at x = 0.30 and y = 0.02. Here, the large d 33 = 198 pC/N which is the maximum value for the BF-BT-Bi(Mg,Ti)O 3 system so far, and high T C = 497 °C suggest that Bi(Fe,Mg,Ti)O 3 -BaTiO 3 ceramics have good prospects in high-temperature piezoelectric devices.

Piezoceramics with high and fatigue-resisted piezoelectric properties are strongly desired for actuator applications. In this work, textured Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -Pb(Zr, Ti)O 3 ceramics with Lotgering factor F 001 ∼98% were fabricated by templated grain growth technique. Strong [001] c -grain orientation ( f ∼90% and r ∼0.22) of the textured ceramics effectively produced about 230% enhanced piezoelectric coefficient d 33 * (i.e., S max / E max ) and substantially improved unipolar electrical fatigue resistance. Unipolar polarization P max and d 33 * of the textured ceramics were nearly maintained up to 10 6 unipolar cycles, while 19% and 14% degradations were respectively observed from randomly oriented counterparts. Especially, normalized d 33 * of the textured ceramics shows better unipolar fatigue resistance than those of piezoceramics reported previously. Much lower bipolar strain asymmetry γ s (∼4%) was observed from the textured samples fatigued after 10 6 unipolar cycles as compared to γ s ∼23% for randomly oriented counterparts. While charged defect accumulation model described the serious fatigue deteriorations in randomly oriented ceramics, the current work revealed that substantially enhanced unipolar fatigue resistance of the textured ceramics is mainly associated with the inherent fatigue anisotropy, weakened local bias fields owing to both enhanced domain mobility and lower defect density near grain boundaries/interfaces, and increased intrinsic contribution due to more tetragonal content. These superior characteristics suggest the great potential of textured ceramics for high-performance and robust actuator applications.

The performance of lead-based ceramics in energy storage applications is often hindered by their low energy density and inadequate phase transition properties. The (Pb, La) (Zr, Sn, Ti)O 3 (PLZST) antiferroelectric ceramics have attracted much attention as energy storage materials. In this work, ceramics Pb 1−1.5 x La x (Zr 0.93 Sn 0.05 Ti 0.02 )O 3 at ( x = 0.015, 0.025, 0.035, and 0.045) were prepared using a solid-state method, and their dielectric and energy storage characteristics were studied. It was observed that integrating lanthanum significantly improved the perovskite structure, reducing grain size and boosting the polarization intensity. In this present study, a recoverable energy storage density ( W rec ) of 6.24 J/cm 3 was achieved under an electric field of 270 kV/cm. Moreover, these ceramics demonstrated an impressive discharge energy density ( W dis ), with 90% of the energy released within 1.29 μs. The outcomes show that PLZST is a highly effective material for advanced energy storage, pulse power applications, and paving the way for technological advancements.

High-performance piezoelectric materials , whose displacement is sensitive to an external field and vice versa, are constantly required in electromechanical applications. Here, we introduce Nd 3+ ions into 0.49Pb(Nb 2/3 Ni 1/3 )O 3 -0.51Pb(Hf 0.3 Ti 0.7 )O 3 (PNN-PHT) ceramics via the solid-state method. By constructing a ferroelectric system in the morphotropic phase boundary region and exploiting the synergistic effect of polar nanoregions and an enhanced local structural heterogeneity, excellent piezoelectricity and dielectric properties are obtained. The optimized piezoelectric coefficient d 33 , dielectric constant ε 33 , electromechanical coupling factor k p , and dielectric loss tanδ are 1125 pC/N, 8667, 0.66 %, and 1.94 %, respectively. The Vogel-Fulcher law and relaxation analysis were adopted to understand the origin of the high piezoelectricity. The Rayleigh analysis method was used to study the intrinsic and extrinsic contributions to the piezoelectricity of the Nd-doped PNN-PHT ceramics, the extrinsic contribution was found to be up to 19 % in the optimal region (PNN-PHT + 0.4 at. % Nd 2 O 3 ). Moreover, according to in-situ ferroelectric measurements and fatigue measurements, the PNN-PHT + 0.4 at. % Nd 2 O 3 ceramic exhibits excellent fatigue resistance and stable piezoelectric behavior at 60 ℃ . This work provides an approach to realize high-performance piezoelectric ceramics with good electromechanical stability under external condition, which is expected to expand the range of application of piezoelectric materials, e.g., for transducers.

Piezoelectric materials (PZTs) enjoy extensive applications in the field of electromechanical sensors due to their sensitive response to external electric fields. The limited piezoelectric response for single-layer piezoceramic pellets drives the use of multilayered technology to increase the electric displacement of a single piezo device. As is well known, Ag is commonly used as a metal for electrodes in devices based on traditional PZTs, which always densify at a high temperature above 1100 °C, resulting in Ag migration. Here, a high-performance samarium-ion-doped Sm0.01Pb0.99(Zr0.54Ti0.46)O3ceramic was selected as parent materials to develop a new Ag-cofired ceramic matrix with a sintering temperature of 920 °C by glass flux. The ceramic composition with 2.0 wt% glass addition exhibits the excellent performance of piezoelectricd33~492 pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling coefficientkp~50.1%, mechanical quality factorQm~68.71, and Curie temperatureTc~356 °C, respectively. The cyclic stability ofd33was measured below 6.6% at 30 kV/cm, which indicates that the piezoceramic has good temperature stability and fatigue resistance. Therefore, this study provides a novel high-performance piezoelectric system to meet the cofired requirement for multilayered piezoelectric devices.

Ferroelectric materials with the typical perovskite structure are widely used in capacitors, ultrasonic devices, oil drilling, transducers, and other fields. Lead-lanthanum-zirconium-titanate ceramics co-doped with Sn and Ba , have been widely investigated. However, there is little attention has been focused on the dielectric properties of barium-lanthanum-zirconium-titanate. Thus, in this work, Sn doped Ba 0.955 La 0.03 Zr 0.02 Ti 0.98 O 3 ferroelectric ceramics were prepared via a classical high-temperature solid state reaction. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the surface appearance of ceramics. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns at room temperature, indicate that the ceramics are well crystallized. Impedance properties and dielectric properties reflect the characteristic of typical high temperature dielectric relaxation behavior. The conductive activation energy and the relaxation activation energy are obtained through the calculation of the Arrhenius law. The fitting results show that the dielectric relaxation behavior at high-temperature, was related to the oxygen defect. The electrical modulus verified the partial short-range carrier migration, also contribute to the high-temperature dielectric properties.

Magnetoelectric (ME) ceramic composites of CoFe 2 O 4 (CFO) and Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 (PZT) with varied composition ratios were sintered using a spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. The characterization of the ceramic compositions and morphologies revealed an even distribution of the CFO and PZT phases. Physical property measurements showed that when the CFO mass percent increased from 8% to 15%, the piezoelectric constant and dielectric constant decreased monotonously, while the saturation magnetization and dielectric loss were enhanced. It was determined that a CFO mass percent of 10% or less resulted in a significant change of the polarization behaviour and a clear enhancement of the ME conversion voltage coefficient ( α E ) with an applied magnetic field . In contrast, CFO mass percentages greater than 10% had a reduced α E , and their polarization behaviour was not influenced by an applied magnetic field. With an increasing proportion of CFO in the composite, the α E first increased and then decreased. The maximum value of the α E indicated an optimal proportion of CFO (10%), which is attributed to a competition between the improved magnetostriction and deteriorating electric behaviour in the composite with the addition of CFO.

Piezoelectric materials are widely used in the direction of sensors. PZT-based ceramics are very suitable for precision sensors. However, due to the low Curie temperature, the application temperature range of the material is relatively narrow. Here we show a high-performance material 0.6PZT–0.4PNN. In this case, a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region was artificially designed in the 0.6Pb(Zr x Ti 1 −x )O 3 –0.4Pb(Ni 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ( x = 0.35–0.41) ceramics to develop high-performance piezoelectric compositions which could cofire with low-cost Ag/Pd inner electrode by 0.2wt% Li 2 CO 3 addition. The ceramic composition at x = 0.39 near MPB possess exceptional properties with high piezoelectric coefficient d 33 ∼ 611 pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling coefficient k p ∼ 53.5%, low mechanical quality factor Q m ∼ 64.5 piezoelectric strain of 0.17%, and suitable Curie temperature T c ∼ 191 °C, respectively. The fact that d 33 was detected close to T c , and no noticeable change below 6.6% in cycling stability was observed at 20 kV/cm means a robust temperature-independence and fatigue reliability of the piezoelectric ceramics. Thus, this research provides a novel high-piezoelectricity configuration with elemental regulation, comparable to the commercial PZTs.

To further improve the ethanol sensing performance of LaFeO 3 (LFO) nanoparticles, the co-doping of acceptor and donor at La and Fe sites at equal mole amount was designed to increase the oxygen adsorbing ability of the resultant nanoparticles. A series of (La,Ba)(Fe,Ti)O 3 nanoparticles, with the designed mole ratios of Ba/La (Ti/Fe) as 0, 0.25, 0.33, 0.50, and 1.0, were prepared by a citric sol–gel method. XRD confirmed the main phase of orthorhombic LFO, and the impurity phases of cubic BaTiO 3 (BTO) and orthorhombic BaCO 3 . The incorporation of Ba and Ti into the LFO lattice was verified by the increased unit cell volume of LFO upon more doping. TEM, BET, and XPS measurements indicated that the appropriate co-doping of Ba and Ti into the LFO lattice and the simultaneous existence of BTO and BaCO 3 resulted in smaller grain size, larger BET surface area, and thus higher concentration of adsorbed oxygen species than those in the pristine LFO nanoparticle. Among all (La,Ba)(Fe,Ti)O 3 sensors, the sensor based on the (La,Ba)(Fe,Ti)O 3 nanoparticles with the designed Ba/La = 0.50 exhibited the highest gas response and sensitivity toward ethanol at the prime working temperature of 132 °C, which was ascribed to the higher surface oxygen coverage contributed by the synergistic effect of co-doping and impurity phases on the number of surface active sites and oxygen adsorbing ability.

Poly (amide acid) acts as an interfacial mediator via hydrogen bonding. • PZT content is increased by 2.8 times with an optimized PAA concentration of 8 wt%. • Sintered flexible GFF/PZT composite forms a continuous piezoelectric ceramic network. • The flexible sensor achieves high sensitivity and excellent durability. Flexible piezoelectric composites have attracted increasing interest for sensor applications. However, for flexible fiber-based piezoelectric composites, constructing a continuous ceramic network with high loading and robust interfacial bonding on the fiber fabric remains challenging. In this study, we fabricated flexible glass fiber fabric (GFF)/PZT piezoelectric composites. Poly (amide acid) (PAA) was introduced as a molecular mediator on the GFF, where PAA forms hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl group and acetate groups of the PZT sol, enabling a 2.8-fold increase in PZT loading at an optimized PAA concentration of 8 wt%. The resulting GFF/PZT composite exhibits a continuous ceramic phase and retains good flexibility with a minimum bending radius of 15 mm. After encapsulation with interdigitated electrodes via epoxy resin (Ep), the GFF/PZT/Ep sensor achieves a minimum bending radius as low as 2.5 mm and exhibits enhanced electrical properties: a dielectric constant of 147, a low dielectric loss of 0.01 at 10 3 Hz, and an inverse piezoelectric coefficient of 119.5 p.m./V. As a bending sensor, it delivers a high sensitivity of 7.52 V per unit flexural strain and excellent durability over 1000 cycles. As a vibration sensor, it attains a sensitivity of 211.16 mV/g at 10 Hz and maintains stable output over 10,000 cycles.

Lead-based ceramics with high energy storage and electrical capabilities are developed as high-performance materials for pulsed power systems. The (Pb, Cd, La)(Zr, Sn, Ti)O 3 (PCLZST) anti-ferroelectric ceramics attract significant attention as energy storage materials. In this work, ceramics (Pb 0.97- x Cd x La 0.02 )(Zr 0.93 Sn 0.05 Ti 0.02 )O 3 ( x = 0.01, 0.015, 0.02 and 0.025) have been prepared using a solid-state method, and their dielectric and energy storage characteristics are investigated. The results indicate that Cd 2+ doping at the A-site effectively suppresses grain growth, leading to a minimum average grain size of 1.24 μm in PCLZST ceramics. The PCLZST ceramics exhibit orthorhombic phases and high relaxation factors, confirming their excellent antiferroelectric nature. Notably, the energy storage density of PCLZST ceramics is 10.09 J/cm 3 , the recoverable energy storage density is 7.79 J/cm 3 , and the discharge time is 0.102 μs reflecting optimal comprehensive performance. These findings emphasize the efficacy of Cd-doped PLZST ceramics in advanced energy storage and pulse power systems, underscoring their potential to drive future technological advancements.
