Perovskite solid solution (1-x)Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3-xY(Ta1/2Sb1/2)O3 ceramics (abbreviated as PZT-YTS, where x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05) were synthesized by conventional solid state method. The phase structure, microstructure and corresponding electrical properties were studied. X-ray diffraction and Raman analyses show that tetragonal phase structure was obtained in all ceramics at room temperature. Scanning electron micrographs of the samples show uniform grain distribution and grain growth inhibition with the increase of doping content. The dielectric permittivity, dissipation factor, electromechanical coupling factor, Young modulus, mechanical quality factor, piezoelectric charge constant, actual density and piezoelectric voltage constant, for the ceramics with x = 0.04 were: ?r = 714.9, tan ? = 0.03345, KP = 0.635, Y = 10.528 ? 1010 N/m2, Qm = 622.254, d31 = 74.738 ? 10?12 C/N, ?a = 7.67 g/cm3 and g31 = 10.477 ? 10?3 m?V/N, respectively, which are optimal in comparison to other studied samples.

(1-x) (K0.475Na0.475Li0.05)(Nb0.975Sb0.025)O3-xmolBiFeO3 (x=0, 0.002, 0.004, 0.006, 0.008) doped with 0.8mol%CuO lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the solid state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction patterns suggested that all the ceramics presented perovskite structure. The compositional dependence of the phase structure and the electrical properties of the ceramics were studied. The ceramic (x=0.002) near room temperature exhibited excellent electrical properties (piezoelectric constant d33=172pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling factor kp=0.43, and dielectric constant =418). A relatively high mechanical quality factor (Qm=200) was also obtained in this particular composition. All these results revealed that this system might become a promising candidate for lead-free piezoelectric materials.

This study investigates the effects of the Zn/Ni composition ratio and doping materials on the piezoelectric properties of PZNN-PZT ceramics for the fabrication of piezoelectric ceramics with excellent characteristics. A soft relaxor was used to improve the electrical characteristics and sinterability. The ceramics were fabricated with a base composition ratio of 0.13Pb((Zn1–xNix)1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.87Pb(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3. The columbite phase was formed by reacting NiO and Nb2O5, which have low reactivity, as the first calcination, and the columbite precursor method was applied for the second calcination with PbO. Although the pellet was produced by sintering at a relatively low temperature of 950 °C, we obtained a dense ceramic with a high density of 7.9 g/cm3 . To improve the quality factor in the composition with a Ni/(Ni + Zn) molar ratio of 0.1, the doping materials MnO2, Fe2O3, CuO, and Bi2O3 were added and their properties were confirmed. Pure perovskite phases were formed in the ceramics of all compositions and doping materials. In particular, the PZNN-PZT ceramics doped with 0.3 wt% MnO2 showed a piezoelectric coefficient of 348 pC/N, electromechanical coupling factor of 0.59, mechanical quality factor of 345, and Curie temperature of 316 °C, which are excellent piezoelectric characteristics.

Doping a small quantity of additive Bi2O3 is effective in suppressing the deliquescence of KNbO3 ceramics. When an optimized ball-milling process was included, dense and nondeliquescent KNbO3 ceramics were obtained by a conventional firing process. However, the presence of Bi prevented grain growth (<0.2 μm) and it was one of the causes of low ferroelectricity. Moreover, the insufficient resistivity made the poling treatment difficult. In order to improve the electric properties, a small quantity of additive MnCO3 was also doped into KNbO3 with 0.5 mass% Bi2O3. Codoping of KNbO3 with MnCO3 and Bi2O3 (abbreviated to KNBixMny; x = 0~1.0, y = 0~1.0 in mass%) improved the ferroelectricity of samples, and it also had an effect on the resistivity and densification of sintered bodies. Well-saturated P-E hysteresis loops were observed with any amount of Mn and the largest remanent polarization Pr was about 16 μC/cm2. The piezoelectric properties of KNBi0.5Mn0.3, which had the highest piezoelectricity in this study, are an electromechanical coupling factor k33 and piezoelectric constant d33 of 0.30 and 101 pC/N, respectively.

The (1-x)[(Na0.515K0.485)0.94Li0.06(Nb0.8Ta0.2)O3]-xYMnO3 (x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.015 and 0.02) lead-free ceramics were synthesized by solid-state reaction sintering method. It was found that the addition of YMnO3 affected on the grain size, phase structure and electrical properties of (Na0.515K0.485)0.94Li0.06(Nb0.8Ta0.2)O3 ceramics. The grain size decreased with increasing YMnO3 content (x ≥ 0.01) and led to poor densification. The ceramic doped with 0.5 mol% YMnO3 showed good electrical properties such as d33 = 195 pC/N, kp = 43.9 %, Tc = 292 °C, TO−T = 35 °C, εr = 820 and rather low dielectric dissipation factor = 2.1%. This indicates that 0.5 mol% YMnO3 -doped (Na0.515K0.485)0.94Li0.06(Nb0.8Ta0.2)O3 piezoceramic is an alternative lead-free piezoelectric material for the development of piezoelectric devices working at high temperature.

(1-x)(Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3-xBiAlO3 [BNTA100x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.14)] ceramics were prepared by a conventional ceramic fabrication process. Single-phase perovskite structures were formed when x ≤ 0.08 for BNTA100x. The depolarization temperature, Td, at which piezoelectricity disappears, decreased with increasing x. The piezoelectric constant, d33, increased with increasing x because of the increase in free permittivity accompanied with decreasing Td. d33 and the electromechanical coupling factor, k33, of BNTA6 were 93 pC/N and 0.41, respectively. Normalized strain d33* (= Smax/Emax) at 60 kV/cm at the maximum field-induced strain was 122.2 pm/V for BNTA8. The value of d33* was higher than the calculated value of d33.

The effects of SiO2 additives on microstructure, piezoelectric and mechanical properties were investigated for Pb0.98Sr0.02(Mn1/3Sb2/3)0.05Zro.48Ti0.47O3 (PMS-PZT) ternary system close to the morphotropic phase boundary. Piezoelectric coefficient (d33) and electromechanical coupling factor (Kp) considerably deteriorated with the substitution of SiO2 increased. On the other hand, the mechanical quality factor (Qm) increased, the maximum value was 1800. Fracture strength of 1.0 wt% SiO2 added the specimens reached to 106.54 MPa which was about 1.4 times higher than pure PMS-PZT ceramic. The rapid improvement of fracture strength probably due to the decrease of grain size, pore distribute and the second phase (redundant Si4+ ions) segregating on the grain boundary which enhanced the bond energy of grain boundary. The optimized concentration of SiO2 doped PMS-PZT ceramics was 0.4 wt% for high power application: d33 = 300 PC/N, Kp = 0.51, Qm = 1500, tand = 0.32% and the fracture strength was 88.5MPa.

PZT-PMN ceramic system with presence of MnO2 contents were proposed and prepared using conventional sintering method as for piezoelectric transformer application. Phase formation and several dielectric and piezoelectric parameters were studied as a function of MnO2 concentration. The x-ray diffraction study revealed the tetragonal symmetry for all samples with MnO2 doping. To determine polarization, the P-E hysteresis loop were produced and the results indicated that entering of Mn4+ ions in the ceramic structure created large amount of oxygen vacancies and the consequent was observed as displacement of the loops to E axis. The obtained optimum parameter are d33 = 119 pC/N, kp = 0.207, Qm = 1669, tan = 0.0101, Pr = 20 μm/cm2 and Ec = 10 kV/cm.

In this paper, the 1-3-2 piezoelectric composites were fabricated by the cut-filling technique using P(MN)ZT piezoelectric ceramic as functional materials and polymer as matrix. The effects of ceramic volume fraction on the electrical properties of the composites were studied. The results indicate that as the ceramic volume fraction increases, the piezoelectric stain factor d33 increases evidently, while the piezoelectric voltage factor g33 decreases. Besides, the planar electromechanical coupling factor Kp and mechanical quality factor Qm of the composite are also less than those of the pure ceramic, while the thickness electromechanical coupling factor Kt is larger than that of the ceramic.
