  • Combined phase boundary engineering and process engineering were employed.
  • A specific composition, Pb0.92Ba0.08[Zr0.50+xTi0.48-x(Nb0.5Sb0.5)0.02]O3 (x=0.4), was synthesized and processed.
  • Piezoelectric coefficient (d33) and piezoelectric strain coefficient (d33*) were measured across a temperature range of 25-175 °C.

Main Results:

  • Substantially enhanced piezoelectric coefficient d33 (855 pC/N) and piezoelectric strain d33* (860 pm/V) were achieved.
  • Ultrahigh temperature stability was demonstrated, with d33 and d33* changing less than 7.3% and 4.6% respectively over 25-175 °C.
  • Performance improvements are attributed to the morphotropic phase boundary with nano-domains, reduced porosity, and inhibited oxygen vacancies.

Conclusions:

  • The developed piezoceramics exhibit a superior combination of high piezoelectricity and excellent temperature stability.
  • The synergistic effects of phase boundary and process engineering provide a new strategy for advanced piezoceramic design.
  • This work offers a promising paradigm for both academic research and industrial applications in sensors and actuators.
