Abstract: | The high-Curie temperature (TC) 0.15Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.38PbHfO3-0.47PbTiO3 (PMN-PH-PT) piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the partial oxalate route via the B-site oxide mixing method. The obtained uniform nm-sized PMN-PH-PT precursor powders provide high calcining and sintering activity for synthesizing ceramics, based on which the synthesis conditions were tailored as calcining at 775 °C and sintering at 1245 °C. The partial oxalate route synthesized PMN-PH-PT ceramics are far superior to the counterparts synthesized by the columbite precursor method and exhibit excellent thermal stability of the piezoelectric properties under TC (~292 °C), ensuring the potential application in transducers under elevated environmental temperatures. The temperature dependent Raman spectroscopy not only proves the occurrence of the ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition around TC, but also confirms the successive phase symmetry transitions, which correlate with the polar nanoregions (PNRs) and/or the coexistence of multiple ferroelectric phases, revealing the origin of the enhanced electrical properties in the PMN-PH-PT ceramics. |
