Lead-based titanate ferroelectric thin films fabricated by a sol–gel technique

Fabrication of arbitrary curvature focused PZT thin film ultrasonic transducer with tunable acoustic impedance based on micropatterned flexible substrate

“…The slurry is composed of precursor and PZT powder. Four chemicals are involved in precursor solution preparation [5][6]: lead acetate trihydrate (Pb(CH3COO) 2 • 3H 2 O), zirconium n-propoxide (Zr(OCH 2 CH 2 CH 3 ) 4 ), titanium nbutoxide (Ti(OC 4 H 9 ) 4 ), and 2-methoxyethanol (CH 3 OCH2CH2OH). Firstly, lead acetate trihydrate (13.28 g), zirconium n-propoxide (8.18 g), and titanium n-butoxide (7.09 g) were respectively dissolved in 2-Methooxyethoanol (86.72, 41.82, 42.91 g) and refluxed at 130 °C for 2 h. These three solutions were then stored in individual glass bottles for further processing.…”

Synthesis of Tube-Like PZT Nanostructures by Sol-Gel Process

“…This method makes possible to prepare ceramics and thin films that are difficult to be obtained by conventional methods, and also to control their geometry and microstructure at the same time. Several research works have been done to prepare single-phase nano-crystalline PZT powders, ceramics, fibers and thin films [20][21][22][23][24].…”

Magnetic properties and heat capacity of CoTiO3nanopowders prepared by stearic acid gel method

“…For example, they are applicable for industries, such as electrodes of solid oxide fuel cells, metal-air barriers, gas sensors, high performance catalysts and ferroelectric random access memories [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”
