Abstract: | Piezoelectric ceramics based on the perovskite Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) system are widely used as sensors and actuators. The toxicity of lead has motivated research in the field of alternative
environmentally friendly lead-free materials. Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics are numerous and in comparison to PZT poorly
investigated. The performance of PZT cannot yet be achieved by any lead-free material. Thus High Throughput Experimentation
(HTE) shall be applied to discover new lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. In the present study a parallel solid state synthesis
method was established for bulk ceramics. Libraries consisting of chemically diverse oxides are produced via the mixed-oxide
route. Subsequently, classical piezoelectric parameters such as ɛ, d33 and Curie temperature are screened. The high throughput route, which allows the synthesis and characterisation of over one
hundred samples per week, has to be validated with PZT samples. The morphotropic phase boundary was clearly identified and
dielectric measurement shows excellent results. The method may be extended to lead-free materials. |
