Abstract
Piezoceramics with both high d33 and large Smax/Emax are needed for various electronic devices. In the present study, Ba1-xCaxTi0.89Zr0.11O3 (x = 0.09, 0.12, 0.15, and 0.18) ceramics were designed and prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The piezoelectric properties of Ba1-xCaxTi0.89Zr0.11O3 ceramics poled by different poling conditions were investigated from the view of domain structure. The superior piezoelectric properties were achieved in the samples under AC poling at x = 0.12, with d33 of 405 pC/N and Smax/Emax of 620 pm/V, which had increased by 16 % and 18 % respectively over those under DC poling. Such results could be attributed to the higher domain wall density under AC poling, which was considered as an effective method to enhance the piezoelectric properties of lead-free piezoceramics, resulting in more attraction for both actuators and sensors. Moreover, the temperature stability of Ba1-xCaxTi0.89Zr0.11O3 ceramics was also studied in this work, which is beneficial for applications within a wide temperature range.
