Abstract
Considering that lead-based piezoelectric ceramics are not conducive to sustainable development, the research and preparation of environmentally friendly lead-free piezoelectric ceramics has become a new trend. Among them, potassium-sodium niobate based (KNN-based) piezoelectric ceramics are considered as the most potential candidates because of their good piezoelectric properties. However, the strong sensitivity to temperature has hindered the further application of KNN-based ceramics. In this work, the ZnO dopant was introduced in 0.96K0.48Na0.52Nb0.96Sb0.04O3–0.04Bi0.5Na0.5HfO3 ceramics to improve their piezoelectric characteristics. On the one hand, Zn2+ could occupy B-site and thus enhance the lattice distortion of BO6 octahedra, resulting the enhanced piezoelectric properties including kp = 46%, d33 = 344 pC/N and TC = 282°C in the optimal component with x = 0.01. On the other hand, the defect dipole formed by the acceptor dopant Zn2+ pinned the motion of domain wall, and thus improved the temperature stability over a wide temperature range of 20°C to 180°C, where the descent in unipolar strain decreased from 35% (x = 0) to 23% (x = 0.01). This work provides a point of view about how ZnO dopants make an influence on the KNN-based ceramics.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
