Structure and electrical properties of PZT–PMS–PZN piezoelectric ceramics

Enhanced piezoelectric coefficient and mechanical performance of Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbZrO3–PbTiO3 ferroelectric ceramics by Pb(Mn1/3Sb2/3)O3 modification

“…Minimum tanδ of 0.4% was achieved in 0.02PMS-0.98PNNZT sample with improved Q m , which favors for applications as the suppressing of heat generation. The variations of d 33 , Q m and tanδ with respect to PMS addition demonstrate the "harden" effect introduced by PMS, showing the similar results to that in PMS-doped PZN-PZT system [22].…”

“…Considering that the secondary phase easily emerges when PZT was doped by MnO 2 or the large content of Mn 2 þ (Z1.5 mol%) [18,20], Mncontained relaxor ferroelectrics was selected as the dopant, and the content of which does not exceed 4 mol%. According to the earlier results [16,21,22], Pb(Mn 1/3 Sb 2/3 )O 3 or Pb(Mn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 was widely utilized in modified PZT system. In view of that the partial substitution of Sb for Nb improves the piezoelectric properties in (K,Na)NbO 3 piezoceramics [23], Pb(Mn 1/3 Sb 2/3 )O 3 was adopted ultimately.…”

Fundamental Research on Ternary Pb(Zr_0.52Ti_0.48)O₃−Pb(Mn_1/3Sb_2/3)O₃−Pb(Zn_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ Solid Solutions for High-power Piezoelectric Applications

“…It can be seen that Tc increases with increasing PZT content, and decreases with increasing PMS content. For the PZT0.86PMS0.085PZnN0.055 solid solution, which showed excellent piezo-and ferroelectric properties, the Tc value is 259°C, which is suitable for a practical high-power piezoelectric material [4].…”

“…Yang et al fabricated PZTxPMSyPZnNz solid solutions by adding PMS and PZnN to PZT, with 0.1 mol% CeO2 as a sintering agent, using the molten salt synthesis method. They reported that PZT0.9PMS0.05PZnN0.05 solid solution exhibited good piezoelectric properties, with d33 = 369 pC/N, Qm(p) = 1381, kp = 64%, and Tc = 275°C [4]. Moreover, Li et al succeeded in further improving the piezoelectric properties by adding MnO2, WO3 and ZnO to PZTxPMSyPZnNz.…”

Effects of sintering temperature on the piezoelectric properties of (Bi,Na)TiO3-based composites for energy harvesting applications

“…Piezoelectric ceramics have been widely used in various electronic devices, such as transducers, sensors, and actuators. On account of their excellent piezoelectric properties, Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 [2], and Pb(Ni,Nb)O 3 -Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 (PNN-PZT) [3] are the most widely used piezoelectric ceramics. However, the use of lead-based materials causes serious environmental problems because of the high toxicity of lead oxide (PbO).…”
