Large piezoelectric coefficient with enhanced thermal stability in Nb5+-doped Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 ceramics
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Chemical doping is an indispensable tool to tailor the properties of the commercial piezoelectric materials. However, a high piezoelectric coefficient with enhanced thermal stability is rarely achieved by one dopant in some high-performance ferroelectrics, e.g., the recently discovered eco-friendly (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 (BCZT) ceramics. In order to optimize the piezoelectric property in BCZT system by a simple way, we investigated the doping effect of Fe3+, Nb5+ and Bi3+ cations in BCZT ceramics respectively. The results indicate that only Nb5+-doped BCZT ceramics display a combination of large piezoelectric coefficient and enhanced thermal stability, compared with others. Moreover, the established phase diagrams and in-situ transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations reveal that such optimized piezoelectric properties after Nb5+ doping originates from (i) the low polarization anisotropy near the ambient tetragonal (T)-orthorhombic (O) phase transition and (ii) the easy domain wall motion of persistent miniaturized ferroelectric domains upon heating.
