Abstract

Piezoelectric constant and Curie temperature are two important parameters of piezoelectric materials, but currently most piezoelectric materials have the problem of obtaining both high piezoelectric coefficient and Curie temperature. In this work, quaternary piezoelectric ceramics of 0.28Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-0.32Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–(0.4-x)PbTiO3-xPbZrO3 (x = 0~0.25) were designed and prepared by a solid-phase method, and the phase structure, dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of 0.28PIN-0.32PZN-(0.4-x)PT-xPZ piezoelectric ceramics were investigated by regulating the Zr/Ti ratio. The results show that the selected compositions are located in the MPB region, and the ceramic samples of each component display high density, the piezoelectric constant (d33) and the electromechanical coupling coefficient (kp) increase and then decrease with the increase of x. The optimum piezoelectric properties are found in compositions at x = 0.1, which showed a high piezoelectric coefficient d33 of 450 pC/N and high Curie temperature Tc of 272 °C. It is promising for use in high-temperature piezoelectric transducers.
