Abstract: | A NiO-added Pb((Zn1/3Nb2/3)0.20(Zr0.50Ti0.50)0.80)O3 system is prepared and investigated. The results reveal that Ni doping induces a phase transformation from the morphotropic phase boundary to the tetragonal phase side. Above the solubility limit of 0.3 wt% in NiO form, excess Ni ions segregate at the grain boundaries and triple junctions, which facilitate the formation of a liquid phase with excess PbO and lead to remarkable grain growth. The mechanical behavior (Vickers hardness (Hv) and fracture toughness (KIC)) can be tailored by controlling the content of additive; this is accompanied by a transition in the fracture mode changed from transgranular without NiO additive to intergranular with 1.0 wt% NiO additive. Moreover, the NiO addition weakens the dielectric relaxor behavior and improves the piezoelectric properties simultaneously. The 0.2PZN–0.8PZT with 0.5 wt% NiO addition shows good transduction coefficient (d33·g33 = 10,050 × 10?15 m2/N) and large fracture toughness (KIC = 1.35 MPa m1/2). |
