摘要

Outstanding electric performance can be achieved in the textured ceramics. Therefore, the Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.09Ti0.91O3 (BCZT) lead-free piezoceramics with high texture degree (f) in < 001 > direction were successfully prepared using template grain growth method. On account of the perfect sheet BaTiO3 (BT) templates, a texture degree as high as 97.9% for BCZT-3.0 wt% BT ceramics was obtained. The ceramics system exhibited excellent comprehensive electrical properties (d33 ~ 575 pC N−1, kp ~ 0.61, TC ~ 89 °C εr (20 °C) ~ 3002, tanδ ~ 4.18%, Pr ~ 10.91 μC cm−2, EC ~ 2.20 kV cm−1). The superior performance originated from the coexistence of rhombohedral-orthorhombic-tetragonal phases (R-O-T), as well as high textured degree. The multiphase coexistence was attributed to the composition design. This work provides a theoretical basis for designing lead-free piezoceramics with excellent properties in the future.
