Lead Free (Bi,Na)TiO3-BiAIO(3) Ceramics for Piezoelectric Application

초록

In this research, substitution effects of BiAlO3 with (Bi,Na)TiO3 piezoelectric ceramics was investigated for the sensors and actuators applications. (Bi,Na)TiO3 material has been employed for the piezoelectric devices applications because of their high piezoelectric charge constant, d(33), of 88 pC/N, electromechanical coupling coefficient, kp, of 22% and inverse piezoelectric charge constant of 498 pm/V. As a piezoelectric material, (Bi,Na)TiO3 has perovskite structure with tetragonal basis. The improvement of piezoelectric and inverse piezoelectric properties is important for industrial device applications. Therefore, in this research, we have tried to increase functional and electrical properties of (Bi,Na)TiO3 piezoelectric materials by substituting BiAlO3 dopants. As a result, the piezoelectric constant was increased up to 140 pC/N, and the densification was increased up to 5.92 g/cm(3).
