摘要

Thermal and mechanical properties are important parameters for high-precision piezoelectric actuators. In this work, 0.76Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3–0.24SrTiO3-xwt% CeO2 (abbreviated as BNST24-xCe) lead-free ceramics are found to have a large electrostrain of 0.176%, and a normalized strain (Smax/Emax) of 880 pm/V under an ultra-low driving field of 2 kV/mm. The BNST24-0.05Ce lead-free ceramics showed the representative parameters of Young’s modulus E ~ 142.1 GPa, Vickers indentation hardness Hv ~ 4.25 GPa, fracture toughness KIC ~ 1.36 MPa·m1/2, thermal conductivity λ ~ 1.392 W m−1 k−1, and coefficient of thermal expansion values CTE ~ 9.20 × 10−6 K−1. These results indicate that these lead-free BNT-ST-based ceramics have excellent strain, thermal, and mechanical properties that meet the requirements for practical applications as piezoelectric actuators.
