Lead-free Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 ferroelectric ceramics with refined microstructure and high strain under electric field by mechanosynthesis

Lead-free ferroelectric Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Zr_0.1Ti_0.9O₃ stands out among environmentally friendly alternatives to commercial Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ piezoceramics for its large piezoelectric coefficients, and it is especially suitable for applications in which thermal depoling is not an issue like bio-implanted devices. However, ceramic processing by conventional means consistently results in exaggerated grain growth, which compromises reliability and has prevented its transfer to industry. We report here the application of high-energy milling for the mechanosynthesis of nanocrystalline Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Zr_0.1Ti_0.9O₃ powders with enhanced reactivity, and to the control of grain growth during ceramic processing to obtain materials with tailored microstructures and decreasing grain sizes down to the sub-10 µm range. Characterization of the electrical and electromechanical properties was accomplished and uncovered triggering of a new mechanism for very large strain under electric field in fine-grained ceramics. Process optimization by precursor selection and preliminary up-scaling studies are also presented.     

Band gap narrowing and magnetic properties of transition-metal-doped Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 lead-free ceramics

Transition metal (TM = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni)-doped Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Ti_0.9Zr_0.1O₃ (BCZT) lead-free ceramics with excellent optical and magnetic properties are synthesized via a solid-state reaction method. The effects of TM elements on the sintering, structure, optical, and magnetic properties of BCZT ceramics are investigated in detail. Structural phase transition from the coexistence of rhombohedral and tetragonal phases to a single rhombohedral phase is observed owing to grain refinement. A narrow band gap of 1.68 eV is achieved in the Co-doped BCZT. The optical absorption of TM-doped BCZT is enhanced, which is ascribed to the molecular orbital rearrangement caused by lattice distortion. Moreover the magnetic behaviors of TM-doped BCZT are observed. The Fe-doped BCZT presents the most evident ferromagnetism, resulting from the exchange coupling interaction between the Fe³⁺ ions and oxygen vacancies. These results provide additional insight into the use of TM-doped BCZT lead-free ferroelectric ceramics for various applications.     

Structural,dielectric and ferroelectric properties of lead-free Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.10Ti0.90O3 ceramics prepared by Plasma Activated Sintering

Lead-free Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Zr_0.10Ti_0.90O₃ (BCZT) ceramics were prepared by Plasma Activated Sintering (PAS). The influence of PAS sintering temperature on the crystalline phase, microstructure, and, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of BCZT ceramics were studied. The phase structure of BCZT ceramics first changed from rhombohedral phase to the coexistence of rhombohedral and tetragonal phases and then to tetragonal phase as the sintering temperature increased. Microstructural characterization of BCZT ceramics indicated that PAS can obtain a compact microstructure at lower temperatures of 1150–1300 °C compared with that from common pressureless sintering. The BCZT ceramics showed different degrees of diffuseness with increased temperature, and the diffuseness exponents C are all approximately on the order of 10⁵ °C. The dielectric and ferroelectric properties of BCZT ceramics were enhanced with increased sintering temperature. BCZT ceramics sintered at 1250 °C exhibited optimum properties of room-temperature ε_r=2863, ε_m=6650, and 2P_r=25.24 μC/cm², resulting from the relatively higher tetragonal phase content of the MPB between tetragonal and rhombohedral phases together with a compact microstructure.     

Ultrahigh energy storage density in Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3-based lead-free ceramics by introducing a relaxor end-member

Dielectric ceramics with relaxor characteristics are promising candidates to meet the demand for capacitors in next-generation pulse devices. In this work, Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Zr_0.1Ti_0.9O₃ (BCZT)-based lead-free ceramics with an ultrahigh recoverable energy storage density (W_rec) were designed and fabricated by introducing the relaxor end-member of Bi(Zn_2/3Ta_1/3)O₃ (BZT). The addition of BZT disrupted the ferroelectric (FE) long-range order and triggered an FE-to-relaxor FE (RFE) phase, leading to the formation of locally polar nano-regions (PNRs) and significantly inhibiting grain growth. Meanwhile, the presence of PNRs with good thermal stability improved the temperature stability of both the dielectric constant (ε') and W_rec. More importantly, the breakdown electric field strength was significantly improved up to ∼640 kV/cm, resulting in an ultrahigh W_rec of ∼7.11 J/cm³ for the 8%BZT doped BCZT (BCZT-BZT8) ceramic. Furthermore, the BCZT-BZT8 ceramic exhibited excellent charge/discharge performances (C_D ∼ 458.4 A/cm², P_D ∼ 50.4 MW/cm³, W_D ∼ 1.354 J/cm³, t_0.9 ∼ 320 ns) with good thermal stability in the temperature range of 298–373 K. The defect chemistry of the BCZT-BZT8 was explored using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy which revealed an EPR signal (g ∼ 1.955), associated with oxygen vacancies. The above findings indicate that the novel composition of BCZT-BZT8 has great prospects in energy storage capacitor applications.     

Piezo/pyro/photo-catalysis activities in Ba0.85Ca0.15(Ti0.9Zr0.1)1-xFexO3 ceramics

Ba_0.85Ca_0.15(Ti_0.9Zr_0.1)_1-xFe_xO₃ (x = 0, 0.5, and 1%) ceramics were studied for piezocatalysis, photocatalysis, and pyrocatalysis using dye degradation in the simulated wastewater. The effect of electrical poling was also performed and found a significant impact of poling on all three catalytic reactions. Fe decreased the optical bandgap of Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Ti_0.9Zr_0.1O₃ (BCZTO) to the visible region. Bandgap for x = 0, 0.005, and 0.01 was found to be 3.14 eV, 2.75 eV, and 2.61 eV, respectively. Interestingly, visible light photocatalytic activity was observed after Fe inclusion in BCZTO lattice. These compositions have also demonstrated dye degradation under ultrasonication (piezocatalytsis) and during temporal temperature change (pyrocatalysis). Results indicate promising multicatalysis in BCZTO ceramics which can be tuned using Fe substitution.     

Giant room-temperature electrocaloric effect within wide temperature span in Sn-doped Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 lead-free thin films

The electrocaloric (EC) effect cooling technique of environmentally friendly lead-free thin film materials driven by electric fields has recently gained tremendous attention due to the urgent demand for microelectronic and integrated circuit refrigeration devices. However, the widespread use of lead-free materials in EC devices is seriously hindered due to the small electrocaloric temperature change (ΔT) within a narrow operation temperature span (T_span) near room temperature. Here, lead-free Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Zr_0.1Ti_0.9-xSn_xO₃ (BCZT-xSn, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.03) thin films were prepared on substrates (Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si) via a sol-gel route. The BCZT-0.02Sn thin film presents an excellent EC effect (ΔT = 32.74 K, ΔS = 37.18 J kg^?1 K^?1) and large EC strength (ΔT/ΔE = 0.033 K cm kV^?1, ΔS/ΔE = 0.037 J cm K^?1 kg^?1 kV^?1) over a wide T_span (～26 K) under 1000 kV cm^?1 near room temperature. The giant ΔT is mainly attributed to the emergence of an intermediate O phase and the formation of a multiphase (R, O and T phases) coexistence structure at room temperature, while the diffuse phase transition behavior is responsible for the wide T_span. Our study provides a new idea for developing environment-friendly EC materials with an excellent room-temperature ΔT over a broad operational temperature region.     

Structure,electrical properties and reaction mechanism of (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 ceramics synthesized by the molten salt method

Lead-free (Ba_0.85Ca_0.15)(Zr_0.1Ti_0.9)O₃ (BCZT) ceramics with excellent electrical properties were successfully synthesized by a molten salt method (MSS). The submicron BCZT powders with pure perovskite phase were obtained by adjusting the KCl-NaCl content that was used as the eutectic salt. The effects of salt content and reaction temperature on the structure and properties of the BCZT materials were systematically investigated. Comparing with BCZT ceramics prepared by solid state method (SS), the reaction temperature of BCZT ceramics synthesized by MSS decreased approximately 200 °C. Moreover, BCZT ceramics sintered at 1360 °C with 50% eutectic salt showed the most outstanding electrical properties, which are as follows: d₃₃ = 604 pC/N, k_p = 57%, P_s = 17.11 µC/cm², P_r = 9.98 µC/cm², ε_m = 15872, ε_r = 2654 and tan δ = 0.013. In addition, this work revealed a possible reaction course processes and mechanism about MSS. The results provide a new design to optimize the performance of BCZT lead-free piezoelectric ceramics.     

Ultrahigh and field-independent energy storage efficiency of (1-x)(Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3-xBi(Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3 ceramics

Relaxor ferroelectrics are attracting an increasing interest in the application of pulse power systems due to their excellent energy storage performance. In this paper, the (1-x)(Ba_0·85Ca_0.15)(Zr_0·1Ti_0.9)O₃-xBi(Mg_0·5Ti_0.5)O₃ ((1-x)BCZT-xBMT, x ≤ 0.2) relaxor ceramics are prepared by the solid state method. The influence of BMT on the microstructure, dielectric and energy storage properties of the prepared ceramics is investigated. The XRD results show that the peak intensity of impurities (Bi₂O₃, TiO₂ and Ba₂Bi₄Ti₅O₁₈) is gradually stronger than that of BCZT phase with x increasing. Meanwhile, the grain size of (1-x)BCZT-xBMT ceramics gradually increases on account of the appearance of impurities Bi₂O₃. Influenced by the impurities and BMT, the dielectric constant of prepared ceramics gradually decreases with x increasing. A large W_rec value of 0.65 J/cm³ with an ultrahigh η value of 97.89% is achieved at x = 0.15 due to the high breakdown strength and slim P-E hysteresis loop. Meanwhile, the η is insensitive to the electric field. The ultrahigh η leads to lesser energy loss during the charge and discharge process. It makes the 0.85BCZT-0.15BMT ceramic more attractive in the application of pulse power systems.     

Structural,ferroelectric, magnetic and magnetoelectric properties of (1-x) Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 -x La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 lead-free magnetoelectric composites

The influence of an additional La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃ (LSMO) magnetic phase on the structural, ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, and magnetoelectric properties of Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Zr_0.1Ti_0.9O₃ (BCZT) ferroelectric phase was studied for composites of (1-x)BCZT -xLSMO (x = 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%). The ferroelectric BCZT sample showed a perovskite single phase formation with a tetragonal crystal structure of the P4mm space group, and the magnetic phase of LSMO presented a rhombohedral crystal structure of R3c space group as shown by XRD. The composite sample with 25% LSMO exhibited large ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties with remnant, saturation polarization, and coercive electric field P_r ~7.74 μC/cm², P_s ~11.69 μC/cm² and E_C ~12.22 kV/cm with a piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃ ~ 231 pC/N. The magnetic characterization for the composites showed that the sample containing 75% of LSMO revealed the highest remnant, saturation magnetization, and coercive field of M_r ~1.358 emu/g, M_s ~19.17 emu/g, and H_C ~33.19 Oe, respectively. Moreover, it revealed the largest magnetoelectric coupling coefficient α_ME ~2.51 mV/cm.Oe with high coupling quality at a lower applied magnetic field. The results highlight the value of these composites as lead-free room temperature magnetoelectric sensors and actuators.     

Rapid pressure-less and spark plasma sintering of (Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1T0.9)O3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics

This work shows for the first time the possibility to sinter BCZT powder compacts by rapid heating rates within one hour of sintering, while achieving good piezoelectric properties. The sintering was performed by rapid (heating rates 100 and 200 °C/min) pressure-less sintering (PLS) at 1550 °C/5-60 min and by SPS sintering (100 °C/min, 1450 °C/5?60 min and 1500 °C/15?45 min). The rapid PLS samples reached a relative density up to 94 % and grain sizes of 17–36 μm acquiring d₃₃ up to 414 pC/N. Although the SPS samples reached full density at 1450 °C, their piezoelectric properties worsened due to smaller grains (10?15 μm) as well as formation of cracks at dwell times > 30 min. At elevated SPS temperature of 1500 °C/30 min, the d₃₃ increased to 360 pC/N sustaining full density. Even higher increase in d₃₃ (424 pC/N) of SPS samples was achieved by post-rapid PLS at 1550 °C/60 min resulting from further expansion in grain size.     

Direct ink writing of macroporous lead-free piezoelectric Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3

Direct ink writing (DIW) has become a widespread additive manufacturing technique for material engineering, but its application in lead-free Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Zr_0.1Ti_0.9O₃ piezoelectric ceramics from aqueous systems has not been reported so far to our knowledge. The main obstacle is the high extent of hydrolysis reactions undergone by the starting powders when dispersed in water, hindering the attainment of stable water-based colloidal suspensions. This paper reports on the preparation of stable aqueous inks from a deagglomerated and surface-treated powder synthesized by solid-state reaction and on DIW of macroporous lead-free piezoelectrics. Based on zeta potential and rheological measurements, the optimal amounts of processing additives (dispersant, binder, and coagulating agent) were selected to transform the initial fluid suspension to a viscoelastic paste with sufficient stiffness and stability for the printing process. Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of samples sintered under different temperatures were also investigated.     

Magnetoelectric coupling studies in lead-free multiferroic (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3−(Ni0.7Zn0.3)Fe2O4 ceramic composites

Lead-free multiferroic 3–0 type particulate composites with a composition (1?x)(Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Zr_0.1Ti_0.9O₃) – x(Ni_0.7Zn_0.3Fe₂O₄) [(1?x)BCZT – xNZFO with 0 ≤ x ≤ 100 at%] were prepared using solid state reaction method. Structural and microstructural analysis using XRD, FESEM and Raman techniques confirmed the phase formation of the ferroelectric (BCZT) and magnetostrictive (NZFO) phases without any detectable presence of impurity phases. Rietveld refinement of the XRD data revealed a tetragonal (P4mm) and a cubic structure (Fd$\stackrel{￣}{3}$m) for the BCZT and NZFO phases, respectively. Elemental compositions of the constituent phases were assessed by EDS and XPS analyses. Electrical, magnetic, and magnetoelectric (ME) measurements were performed. The composites exhibit typical well-saturated magnetic hysteresis (M?H) loops at room temperature, having very low coercive field ($H_C$) values, indicating their soft ferromagnetic behavior. Various parameters extracted from the M?H curves including $H_C$, magneto-crystalline anisotropy, squareness, and magnetization were found to depend on x. Frequency dependence of capacitance and admittance exhibited a resonance behavior corresponding to the radial mode of the electromechanical resonance (EMR). ME coefficients were studied in both longitudinal (${\alpha }_{\text{E}33}$) and transverse (${\alpha }_{\text{E}31}$) modes. The highest coupling coefficients, ${\alpha }_{\text{E}31}$ ～14.5 mV/Oe.cm and ${\alpha }_{\text{E}33}$ ～13 mV/Oe.cm were obtained for composite with 50 at% NZF at off-resonance frequency of 1 kHz. At the EMR frequency of 314 kHz, the ${\alpha }_{\text{E}31}$ value in 0.5BCZT-0.5NZFO composite enhanced enormously to ～5.5 V/Oe.cm. The studies conclude that x = 0.5 is an optimum atomic fraction of NZFO in the particulate composite for maximum ME coupling.     

Tuning of electrocaloric performance in (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 by induced relaxor-like behavior

Induced relaxor-like behavior is reported by addition of a sintering additive to the (Ba_0.85Ca_0.15)(Zr_0.1Ti_0.9)O₃ solid solution. The effect of Bi₂O₃ sinter additive on microstructure is determined. The phase transition behavior is highlighted by dielectric permittivity measurements. The electrocaloric temperature change is directly measured and comparison with literature data is provided on basis of the material related cooling power. Addition of Bi₂O₃ drastically increases the temperature stability and an ultra-wide temperature range of over 100?K is achieved. The findings path a way to tune electrocaloric materials for optimization of properties for solid-state coolers based on the electrocaloric effect.     

Fabrication and properties of (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Ti0.9Zr0.1)O3 ceramics and their multilayer piezoelectric actuators

The lead‐free ceramics with nominal composition (Ba_0.85Ca_0.15)(Ti_0.9Zr_0.1)O₃ (BCTZ) were prepared by a conventional solid‐state reaction combined with a liquid precursor mixing method. Structural, dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric properties of the ceramics were systematically investigated. Excellent electrical properties of T_c ~ 101°C, tanδ ~ (0.003–0.05), k_p ~ 0.46, d₃₃ ~ 560 pC/N, P_s ~17 μC/cm² and a large strain of 0.43% were reproducibly obtained for the BCTZ ceramics. In addition, BCTZ‐based monolithic multilayer piezoelectric actuators were successfully fabricated by alternately laminating the claimed piezoelectric ceramics and internal‐binder. The actuators show large displacements under low driven voltage. These results highlight that the BCTZ ceramics are excellent candidate for multilayer piezoelectric devices.     

Large piezoelectric coefficient with enhanced thermal stability in Nb5+-doped Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 ceramics

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 (Ba_0.85Ca_0.15)(Zr_0.1Ti_0.9)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.     

Investigation of ferroelectric,piezoelectric and mechanically coupled properties of lead-free (Ba0.85Ca0.15) (Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 ceramics

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramic (Ba_0.85Ca_0.15)(Zr_0.1Ti_0.9)O₃ (BCZT) has been synthesised by solid-state sintering method and the effect of grain size on ferroelectric, piezoelectric, dielectric, mechanical and piezo-electro-mechanical properties was systematically studied. The compacted powders were sintered at three temperatures i.e. 1450°°C, 1500°C and 1550°C for an optimised duration of 5?h and they have exhibited well resolved morphotropic phase boundary with an average grain size ranging from 10 to 25?µm. Enhanced piezoelectric charge, d₃₃ ～ 560 pC/N and voltage, g₃₃ ～ 14.3?mV?m/N coefficients were obtained for the 1450°C sintered BCZT sample. A maximum strain of around ～0.14% was obtained which is comparable to that of lead-based piezoelectrics. Variation of relative permittivity with temperature revealed that the curves are independent of frequency, indicating the typical relaxor ferroelectric nature of the samples. A systematic study on cyclic loading was performed to evaluate piezo-electro-mechanical coefficients at different loads which showed hysteresis behaviour. High value of elastic modulus (E) and hardness (H) i.e. 262.7?±?38.1?GPa and 13.7?±?1.7?GPa were exhibited by samples sintered at 1450°C, which is higher than that of BCZT synthesised by wet-chemical methods. The results are discussed.     

On the formation mechanism of Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 thin films by aqueous chemical solution deposition

Here we report on the development of an environmentally friendly, simple and robust aqueous chemical solution route for the fabrication of Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Zr_0.1Ti_0.9O₃ (BCZT) thin films. Using a stable aqueous precursor solution, thin films were prepared by spin coating and the impact of thermal processing on the microstructure and phase purity of the thin film was revealed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. We find, that barium oxycarbonate formation during the pyrolysis plays a key role in the formation of dense, homogeneous single phase BCZT films. The formation of barium oxycarbonate leads to undesirable segregation of cations, resulting in barium depletion on the BCZT grain boundaries and occurrence of a secondary phase (CaZrTi₂O₇). Based on this insight the thermal processing was optimized and dense, oriented and single-phase BCZT films were fabricated by combining a low pyrolysis temperature with rapid heating to the annealing temperature.     

Ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.90Zr0.10O3 films in 200 nm thickness range

Lead-free piezoelectric Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Ti_0.90Zr_0.10O₃ (BCZT) thin films were fabricated on Si/SiO₂/TiO₂/Pt (100) substrates following chemical solution deposition technique. Microstructure of the nano-sized BCZT particles crystallized in the thin film was thoroughly characterized. Ferroelectric, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the films were investigated in detail. The BCZT films annealed at 800°C temperature exhibited high remanent polarization of 25 ± 1 μC/cm², energy density of 17 J/cm³, dielectric constant of 1550 ± 50 and dielectric tunability of 50%. Converse piezoelectric coefficients (d₃₃) obtained from piezo-response force microscopy (PFM) measurements on BCZT grains of different grain size (20-100 nm) distributed on the BCZT 700 film varied widely from 90 to 230 pm/V. The same for BCZT 800 measured on different grain size (30-130 nm) varied from 120 to 295 pm/V. These BCZT thin films with high dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties might be good alternative to the PZT films for thin film piezoelectric device applications.     

Chemical Synthesis,Sintering and Piezoelectric Properties of Ba0.85Ca0.15 Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 Lead‐Free Ceramics

The preparation of Ba_0.85Ca_0.15 Zr_0.1Ti_0.9O₃ (BCZT) powders by wet chemical methods has been investigated, and the powders used to explore relationships between the microstructure and piezoelectric properties (d₃₃ coefficient) of sintered BCZT ceramics. Sol–gel synthesis has been shown to be a successful method for the preparation of BCZT nanopowders with a pure tetragonal perovskite phase structure, specific surface area up to 21.8 m²/g and a mean particle size of 48 nm. These powders were suitable for the fabrication of dense BCZT ceramics with fine‐grain microstructures. The ceramics with the highest density of 95% theoretical density (TD) and grain size of 1.3 μm were prepared by uniaxial pressing followed by a two‐step sintering approach which contributed to the refinement of the BCTZ microstructure. A decrease in the grain size to 0.8–0.9 μm was achieved when samples were prepared using cold isostatic pressing. Using various sintering schedules, BCZT ceramics with broad range of grain sizes (0.8–60.5 μm) were prepared. The highest d₃₃ = 410.8 ± 13.2 pC/N was exhibited by ceramics prepared from sol–gel powder sintered at 1425°C, with the relative density of 89.6%TD and grain size of 36 μm.     

Y2O3 doped Ba0.9Ca0.1Ti0.9Sn0.1O3 ceramics with improved piezoelectric properties

Lead-free Ba_0.90Ca_0.10Ti_0.90Sn_0.10O₃-xY₂O₃ (BCTSY, x = 0–0.09) ceramics were prepared by traditional solid-state sintering method. All the BCTSY samples showed pure perovskite structures without detectable impurity. Orthorhombic/tetragonal phase coexisted in the sample of x = 0.03 to 0.07. Remarkable enhancement of the electric properties were achieved at x = 0.03 with d₃₃ of 650 pC/N, K_p of 59.6%, and the remnant polarization P_r of 10.2 μC/cm². The strengthened temperature stability of piezoelectricity is beneficial to the application of the piezoceramics.
