- Abstract
- CeO2 and Y2O3 were co-doped to (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 ceramics and sintered by conventional solid-state reaction process to form x wt.% CeO2-y wt.% Y2O3 doped (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 (CexYy-BCZT) ceramics. The effects of different contents of CeO2-Y2O3 dopants to the (Ba0.85Ca0.15 ) (Zr0.1Ti0.9 )O3 composition were analyzed by studying the phase, surface microstructure, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of BCZT ceramics. In this study, we have shown that co-doping a small amount of CeO2 and Y2O3 will not change the phase structure of (Ba0.85Ca0.15 )(Zr0.1Ti0.9 )O3 ceramics. However, the proper introduction of CeO2 and Y2O3 can improve the piezoelectric constant and electromechanical coupling coefficient of BCZT ceramic samples. Moreover, these dopants can promote the grain growth process in (Ba0.85Ca0.15 ) (Zr0.1Ti0.9 )O3 ceramics. C0.04Y0.02 doped (Ba0.85Ca0.15 )(Zr0.1Ti0.9 )O3 ceramic has the best piezoelectric properties compared with other composition, the results are as follows: Relative density = 96.9%, Kp = 0.583, and d33 = 678 pC/N, V = 8.9 V. It means that this Ce0.04Y0.02 doped (Ba0.85Ca0.15 )(Zr0.1Ti0.9 )O3 ceramic is a desired material in the application of lead-free ceramics. © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
