Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with both low hysteresis and superior electrostrictive coefficient features are crucial toward providing desired performance for intelligent electrical devices, especially in high-precision displacement actuators. In this work, we propose a novel scenario, which is to design the phase transition around ambient temperature to enhance electrostrictive effect and inhibit hysteresis. In other words, the dense ceramics with cubic phases (C) and tetragonal phases (T) coexisting at RT (room temperature) were designed. According to this scenario, the Ba(1−x)SrxTiO3 (abbreviated as BT-100xST) ceramics were fabricated by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The relaxor behavior, ferroelectric properties, crystal structure and microstructure of BT-100xST ceramics have been investigated in detail. As a result, the BT-100xST ceramics with x = 0.20–0.40 present relaxor behavior which was indicated by dielectric constant as a function of temperature and (polarization–electric field) P–E hysteresis loops. The BT-30ST ceramics exhibit enhanced electrostrictive coefficient Q33 (>0.034 m4/C2), and the electrostrictive strain and low hysteresis achieves 0.11% and 2%, respectively. The BT-100xST ceramics are considered as a prospective option for application in displacement actuators with high sensitivity and high precision.

Structural, ferroelectric, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties of K0.5Na0.5NbO3-LiTaO3-xmol%MnO2 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3 were studied. The ceramic samples were synthesized through the conventional solid-state reaction method. The MnO2 addition can reduce the sintering temperature of KNLNT ceramics. Compared with undoped KNLNT ceramic, the piezoelectric measurements showed that piezoelectric properties of K0.5Na0.5NbO3-LiTaO3-xMnO2 were improved (d33 = 251 pC/N) when x = 0.1. In addition, KNLNT-xMnO2 ceramics have larger Pr(20.59~21.97 μC/cm2) and smaller Ec(10.77~6.95 kV/cm), which indicates MnO2 has excellent softening property, which improves the ferroelectric properties of KNLNT ceramics This work adds relevant information regarding of potassium sodium niobate K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) when doped Li, Ta, Mn at the B-site.

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics Sr2Bi4-xGdxTi5O18 were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. Pure bismuth layered structural ceramics with uniform gain size were obtained in all samples. The effect of Gd-doping on the dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of Sr2Bi4Ti5O18 ceramics were also investigated. It was found that that Gd3+ dopant gradually decreased the Curie temperature (Tc) with the lower dielectric loss (tand) of SBTi ceramics. In addition, Gd-doping with appropriate content improved the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the SBTi ceramics. The piezoelectric constant (d33) of the Sr2Bi3.9Gd0.1Ti5O18 ceramic reached the maximum value, which is 22 pC/N. The results showed that the Sr2Bi4-xGdxTi5O18 ceramic was a promising lead-free piezoelectric material.

This work prepares (Ba[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text])TiO3 (BST)-doped (Bi[Formula: see text]Na[Formula: see text])TiO3 (NBT) lead free ceramics through conventional solid reaction method and analyzes the doping effect of BST on phases, microstructure, dielectric and ferroelectric properties. The phase and structure of the NBT-BST ceramics were investigated through X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Raman. The XRD results showed that BST has diffused into the NBT lattices to form a stable solid solution; while, Raman spectrum showed the bands at low frequency are different with that of pure NBT and divided into two ranges around 247[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] and 303[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text]. Relative dense and homogeneous ceramic microstructures could be achieved, with the observation of a slight decrease in average grain size with the increase of BST doping content. The dielectric and ferroelectric properties were also investigated. The dielectric constant increases gradually with increasing the temperature to [Formula: see text], and then decrease. The temperature dependence property showed diffused phase transition near [Formula: see text]. The polarization-electric field ([Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text]) hysteresis loops of BST-doped NBT ceramics showed typical ferroelectric or relaxor nature. Both the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] increased first, then decreased with respect to the increase of the BST content.

Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3-xLi2CO3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics (abbreviated as BCZT-xLi) were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. The microstructure, piezoelectric properties and dielectric properties were studied for BCZT-xLi samples doped with different Li2CO3 content(x= 0, 0.05, 0.1 0.2 0.3, 0.4wt. %). The results show that the piezoelectric constant(d33), planar electron mechanical coupling coefficient(kp) and thickness electron mechanical(kt) of BCZ-T-xLi ceramics increase firstly and decreases subsequently with increasing of Li+ doping amount, the dielectric loss(tanδ) of BCZT-xLi ceramics decreases firstly and then increases at the same time while Li+ doping amount increases. But the r-elative permittivity (εr) of BCZT-xLi ceramics increases all the time. With the in-creasing of the amount of Li2CO3 doped the grain size of BCZT-Li ceramic first increases and then decreases. The BCZT-xLi ceramics display the optimum properties (d33=83, tanδ=0.035, εr=2020, kp=0.41, kt=0.046) while Li2CO3 doped amount is 0.20wt. %.

AbstractZr substituted 0.8BaTiO30.2 Bi0.5K0.5TiO3 lead free ceramic materials with a composition 0.8Ba0.2(Bi0.5K0.5)Ti1-xZrxO3 (0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.06) were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method followed by high energy ball milling. The X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the tetragonal structure of the material at room temperature. Density was decreasing with the substitution of Zr. Microstructure studies were done by using scanning electron microscope. Temperature and frequency dependent dielectric studies were carried out and showed that the dielectric constant, dielectric loss and Curie temperature were decreasing with the substitution of Zr. Relaxor behavior was observed in all the Zr substituted samples. Degree of diffuseness was calculated from the modified Curie-Weiss law and it was found to increase with the substitution of Zr. Frequency and temperature dependent AC conductivity was calculated and it was found to obey Jonscher’s power law. Substitution of Zr decreased the conductivity of the material. Activation energy was calculated and it was decreasing with an increase in Zr substitution.

In this work, we report the dielectric and ferroelectric properties of CuO-doped ([Formula: see text])[0.5573Pb(Mg[Formula: see text]Nb[Formula: see text])O3-0.4427PbTiO3]-[Formula: see text]Ba(Zn[Formula: see text]Nb[Formula: see text]O3 (PMNT-[Formula: see text]BZN) relaxor ferrielectric ceramic samples with [Formula: see text], 0.1925, 02125 and 0.2325, which were fabricated by a conventional solid-state reaction method. By introducing the CuO into PMNT-[Formula: see text]BZN, the sintering temperature of this system is drastically lowered from 1280∘C to 1120∘C. The second pyrochlore phase, which is often generated during sintering at high temperature, is also inhibited. Meanwhile, broad dielectric peaks with strong dielectric relaxation characteristics are observed from [Formula: see text]C to 100∘C. Slim and slanted [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] hysteresis loops and purely electrostrictive strains with V-shape are obtained simultaneously in studied compositions from 30∘C to 150∘C. These results suggest that CuO could effectively lower the sintering temperature while maintaining the dielectric and ferroelectric properties of PMNT-[Formula: see text]BZN relaxor ferroelectric ceramics.

The perovskite oxide Bi0.5Na0.5MnxTi1-xO3, Bi0.5Na0.5NbxTi1-xO3, Bi0.5Na0.5 (Mn0.5Nb0.5)xTi1-xO3 and Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 ceramics (x=0.25%) were prepared via the conventional solid state reaction method. The role of Mn as an acceptor, Nb as a donor and (Mn0.5Nb0.5) substitution at B site in BNT lead-free piezoceramics was investigated. The (Mn0.5Nb0.5) substitution led to the inhibited of reduction of Ti4+ to Ti3+ and gave rise to large defect-dipole clusters containing highly localized electrons which should be responsible for the increase of Tc and Td. The ferroelectric properties and field-induced strains were both improved by Mn-acceptor and (Mn0.5Nb0.5) co-doped. The fatigue-resistant properties of Nb doped BNT ceramics were comparable to BNT ceramics, Mn doped ceramics were found to have significantly improved fatigue-resistant properties, while almost no profound fatigue was observed in BNT-MnNb ceramics after switching over 106 cycles at room temperature.
