Enhanced piezoelectric properties and depolarization temperature in textured (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-based ceramics via homoepitaxial templated grain growth

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2023.08.027

Abstract

Abstract: Enhanced piezoelectric response was usually achieved in (Bi_0.5Na_0.5)TiO₃ (BNT)-based ceramics with sacrifice of depolarization temperature T_d, seriously limiting their usage range in electromechanical applications. In this work, we propose to explore piezoelectric anisotropy and domain engineering in composition & microstructure-controlled textured ceramics to resolve this issue. [001]_c-textured 0.94(Bi_0.5Na_0.5)TiO₃-0.06BaTiO₃ (0.94BNT-0.06BT) ceramics with Lotgering factor F₀₀₁∼91% were fabricated through homoepitaxial templated grain growth (TGG) via using 0.94BNT-0.06BT microplatelet templates. The textured samples exhibited more ordered domains with facilitated domain switching behavior, being consistent with saturated high polarization achieved at lower electric fields. Increasing F₀₀₁ to above 60% enables rapid enhancement of piezoelectric response. Notably, compared to non-textured counterpart, the maximally textured ceramics exhibited ∼236% enhanced piezoelectric coefficient (d₃₃∼302 pC/N) and ∼280% enhanced piezoelectric voltage coefficient (g₃₃∼49.8 × 10^-3 Vm/N), together with slightly increased depolarization temperature (T_d∼106 °C). Moreover, those values are approaching or even higher than the single-crystal values. This work not only provides important guidelines for design and synthesis of novel textured ceramics with improved comprehensive electrical properties, but also can expand application fields of BNT-based ceramics.

Key words: Lead-free ceramics, Templated grain growth, Piezoelectric coefficient, Depolarization temperature, Domain dynamics
