在A位和B位同时分别加入Ca2+、Zr4+和Sn4+,采用传统的固相烧结法在1480℃烧结4 h制备了(Ba1–xCax)(Ti0.94Zr0.056Sn0.004)O3(BCxTZS)压电陶瓷。研究了Ca2+含量x对BCxTZS陶瓷微观形貌、相结构和电学性能的影响。结果表明:少量Ca2+有利于晶粒长大,x=0.05的样品具有最大的晶粒尺寸12.88μm,Ca2+、Zr4+和Sn4+全部固溶到Ba TiO3晶格中形成单一固溶体。当0.00≤x≤0.03时,BCxTZS陶瓷的室温相结构为正交相(O)–四方相(T)两相共存;x=0.05时,O–菱方相(R)–T三相共存;x=0.07时,O相消失,R–T两相共存。所有样品具有较高的Curie温度(TC〉104℃)和良好的电学性能(d33=325 p C/N、kp=34%、Qm=151),实现了电学性能和Curie温度的协同调控。
Abstract: In this paper, Ca^2+, Zr^4+ and Sn^4+ were simultaneously doped at A-sites and B-sites, respectively.(Ba(1-x)Cax)(Ti(0.94)Zr(0.056)Sn(0.004))O3 (BCxTZS) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were fabricated by conventional solid-state sintering at 1 480℃ for 4 h. The effect of Ca^2+ content (x) on the microstructure, phase structure and electrical properties were investigated. The results show that a small amount of Ca^2+ is conducive to the grain growth, in which a greater grain size of 12.88μm is attained as x=0.05. Ca^2+, Sn^4+ and Zr4+ ions completely diffuse into the BaTiO3 lattice to form a single solid solution. The phase structure is orthorhombic (O) -tetragonal (7) coexisted structure as 0.00≤x≤0.03, O-rhombohedral(R) -T multiphase coexisted structure as x-=0.05, and R-T coexisted structure as x=0.07, respectively. All the samples possess a high Curie temperature (i.e., Tc〉104℃), along with the better piezoelectric properties (i.e., d33=325 pC/N, kp=34%, Qm=l 51) as x=0.05, improving the electrical properties and the Curie temperature.
