Abstract
BiFeO3-BaTiO3 (BF-BT)-based lead-free ceramics are promising piezoelectric materials exhibiting high Curie temperatures and excellent electrochemical properties. In this study, 0.70Bi1+x FeO3-0.30BaTiO3 (B1+x F-BT, x = -0.01, 0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were successfully fabricated via the conventional solid-phase reaction process. Crystallographic structure, microstructure, dielectric, impedance, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties among different compositions were comprehensively investigated. The X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that all compositions exhibited a typical perovskite structure with a cubic-rhombohedral phase mixture. The grain size of ceramics tends to increase as the Bi2O3 content rises. In particular, the backscattered electron images and energy dispersive analysis revealed prominent core-shell microstructure within grains. Notably, the BF-BT ceramic containing 1% excess Bi displayed the maximum d 33 ~217 pC/N and ~243 pm/V accompanied by a high Curie temperature of 515 °C. The findings demonstrate the potential feasibility of BF-BT ceramics in the field of lead-free piezoelectric ceramics.
期刊介绍:
Micro and Nanostructures is a journal disseminating the science and technology of micro-structures and nano-structures in materials and their devices, including individual and collective use of semiconductors, metals and insulators for the exploitation of their unique properties. The journal hosts papers dealing with fundamental and applied experimental research as well as theoretical studies. Fields of interest, including emerging ones, cover:
• Novel micro and nanostructures
• Nanomaterials (nanowires, nanodots, 2D materials ) and devices
• Synthetic heterostructures
• Plasmonics
• Micro and nano-defects in materials (semiconductor, metal and insulators)
• Surfaces and interfaces of thin films
In addition to Research Papers, the journal aims at publishing Topical Reviews providing insights into rapidly evolving or more mature fields. Written by leading researchers in their respective fields, those articles are commissioned by the Editorial Board.
