Piezoelectric materials have wide commercial applications involving our everyday lives. The common categorized “soft” and “hard” piezoelectric materials have distinct even contradictory performance parameters typically exemplified by piezoelectric coefficient d 33 and mechanical quality factor Q m . However, for some special devices operated in resonant mode, simultaneously high or at least balanced performance parameters are needed. Here, we show the transition from “soft” to “hard” performance in 2 mol% Sm doped (0.36- x )Pb(Ni 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 - x Pb(Mn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -0.28PbZrO 3 -0.36PbTiO 3 quaternary solid solution piezoceramics, for which the d 33 and planar electromechanical coupling factor k p decrease, while Q m and Curie temperature T c increase monotonously with increasing x value. As the results, balanced performance with moderate d 33 = 446 pC/N, k p = 0.49, Q m = 425, and T c = 170 °C are achieved around x = 0.03. This work not only shows the feasibility for combining “soft” and “hard” performance by forming appropriate solid solutions, but also provides a suitable material basis for further simultaneously optimizing piezoelectric parameters.

<001> oriented x Bi(Mg 1/2 Ti 1/2 )O 3 -(0.7- x )Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -0.3PbTiO 3 (BMT-PMN-PT) textured ceramics are successfully fabricated by the template grain growth method using BaTiO 3 platelets as template. BMT-PMN-PT textured ceramics with different BMT contents are studied in terms of crystal structure, microstructures, dielectric and ferroelectric properties, and electric field induced strain. The as-fabricated BMT-PMN-PT textured ceramics were found to have a strong orientation along <001> direction. The frequency dispersion of dielectric constant of BMT-PMN-PT textured ceramics increases gradually and its relaxability becomes stronger with increasing BMT content. A large electric-field induced strain (0.42 % at 4 kV/mm) is obtained in 0.25BMT-0.45PMN-0.3PT textured ceramics with Lotgering factor 0.94, which is about 83 % enhancement than that of the randomly oriented ceramics (0.23 % at 4 kV/mm). The strain of 0.25BMT-0.45PMN-0.3PT textured ceramics have a relatively high thermal stability, with a slight decrease from 0.42 % to 0.28 % in the temperature range of 20−100 °C. Our research suggests that 0.25BMT-0.45PMN-0.3PT textured ceramics have a greatly potential for actuator devices applications owing to its advantages of large electric field induced strain response.

Semiconductor photocatalysis is severely constrained by sluggish photogenerated carrier dynamics, especially under high-temperature conditions inherent to photo-thermal coupled catalysis. Herein, using ferroelectric PbTiO 3 (PTO) as example, a synergistic bulk-surface engineering strategy that integrates polarization amplification with surface carrier confinement to address this challenge is reported. Through hydrothermal synthesis, Pt 2 ⁺ is incorporated into the PTO lattice by partially substituting Ti⁴⁺ sites, which not only enhances PTO's intrinsic polarization but introduces impurity energy levels, jointly suppressing bulk carrier recombination. Critically, the incorporation of Pt elevates the Curie temperature of PTO from 550 to 650 °C, stabilizing its ferroelectric properties under high-temperature environments. Leveraging PTO's polarization-induced charge migration, two co-catalysts are selectively photodeposited on opposite (001) facets of Pt-doped PTO, realizing spatial isolation of surface carrier trappers to inhibit surface carrier recombination. A detailed carrier dynamics study demonstrated this elaborated bulk-surface engineering dramatically prolongs the average photocharge lifetime, while Pt doping-mediated interfacial barrier reduction promotes high surface carrier localization. Consequently, the optimized PR-Au/MnO x -2%-PTPO exhibits exceptional photo-thermal coupled catalytic CO 2 hydrogenation performance at 550 °C, with CO production rate reaching 235.7 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 , ≈6.6 times that of pure PTO. This study establishes a novel modulation paradigm for ferroelectric semiconductors in efficient energy conversion.

Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbZrO3-PbTiO3 (PNN-PZ-PT) is one of the typical relaxor-PT piezoelectric systems. In order to further improve its Curie temperature (Tc) and piezoelectric properties, nominal Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN) is introduced into 2mol% Sm-doped 0.36PNN-0.28PZ-0.36PT to form a (0.36 − x)PNN-xPMN-0.28PZ-0.36PT:0.02Sm (x = 0–0.24) quaternary solid solution. The phase, microstructure, domain structure, and electrical properties of the solid solution ceramics were investigated systematically. All the samples exhibit a single phase perovskite structure and are situated around the rhombohedral-tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary. With increasing x, the Tc increases gradually, while the piezoelectric coefficient d33 increases initially and decreases subsequently, reaching a peak value of 725 pC N−1 at around x = 0.15. In particular, this optimal composition illustrates high performance with Tc = 176 °C, planar electromechanical coupling factor kp = 0.63, remanent polarization Pr = 30 μC cm−2, and coercive field Ec = 8.9 kV cm−1. This study illustrates the viability of incorporating PMN into PNN-PZ-PT to optimize the comprehensive electrical properties, potentially offering a valuable guide for developing high performance relaxor-PT materials.

The (0.98- x )(0.6Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 1/3 )O 3 -0.4PbTiO 3 )- x Pb(Yb 1/3 Nb 1/3 )O 3 -0.02Pb(Er 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 ((0.98- x )(PMN-PT)- x PYN:Er 3+ ) ceramics were prepared through a solid-state reaction method. The phase structure, piezoelectric response, ferroelectric performance and upconversion emission of the ceramics were systematically investigated. The phase structure, the electrical and optical properties are strongly related to the content of PYN. The optimized piezoelectric response and upconversion emissions of the ceramics were achieved near x = 0.12, which locates in the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composition. Furthermore, the temperature sensing behaviors of the resultant compounds based on the thermally coupled levels of 2 H 11/2 and 4 S 3/2 of Er 3+ ions in the temperature range of 133–573 K were studied by utilizing the fluorescence intensity ratio technique. Additionally, the thermal effect, which is induced by the laser pump power, of the studied ceramics is also investigated and the produced temperature is enhanced from 268 to 348 K with the pump power rising from 109 to 607 mW.

Recently, the anomalous photovoltaic effect of ferroelectric materials has attracted considerable attention in the construction of efficient solar cells owing to the above-bandgap photovoltage of these materials. In this study, we investigate the anomalous photovoltaic effect of relaxor-based ferroelectric Pb(In 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 -Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -PbTiO 3 (PIMN-PT) ceramics with large remnant polarization and a narrow optical bandgap. Excellent photovoltaic performance with an ultrahigh open-circuit voltage of 23 V (575 V/cm) is achieved, which is higher than the open-circuit voltages of all reported polycrystalline materials with similar thickness. The phase structure, microstructure morphology, domain structure, ferroelectric and optical characteristics are analyzed, which could provide clues to the origin of the ultrahigh open-circuit voltage of PIMN-PT ceramics. The results suggest that the relaxor-based ferroelectric PIMN-PT system is a potential candidate for photovoltaic solar energy conversion devices.

Magnetoelectric composite materials, which exhibit both ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties simultaneously, have attracted considerable interest for their potential in various applications such as microelectronics, memory devices, and spintronics. In this study, we investigated the synthesis, structural, morphological, electrical, and magnetic properties of multiferroic CoFe 2 O 4 /0.65BiFeO 3 -0.35PbTiO 3 (CFO/65BF-35PT) composite thin films. These films were prepared using a high ferroelectric, morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composition, 65BF-35PT, combined with a high magnetostrictive compound, CFO. Multilayered CFO/65BF-35PT composite films were spin-coated onto fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)/glass substrates using the sol-gel method, with variation in the solution molarity to achieve different layer thicknesses. Structural analysis revealed a perovskite phase for 65BF-35PT and a spinal structure for CFO, with the presence of rhombohedral and tetragonal polymorphs confirming MPB composition. Scanning electron microscope images demonstrated uniform growth of 1 μm thick composite films. Ferroelectric hysteresis loops exhibited considerable leakage current at room temperature, increasing with higher CFO content, while current versus voltage plots revealed ohmic conduction at low applied fields and space charge limited current (SCLC) conduction at high fields in all composite films. The crossover field between ohmic and SCLC conduction decreased with increasing CFO content. Moreover, room-temperature magnetic hysteresis loops showed a decrease in saturation and coercive field with increasing CFO concentration, and the temperature-dependent magnetization response indicated a monotonic decrease, with magnetization vanishing around 800 K, confirming the magnetic order of CFO. Our findings demonstrate that stable ferroelectric and ferromagnetic phases can be achieved at low temperatures by depositing composite films containing CFO/MPB on a low-cost FTO substrate.
