Over the past two decades, lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have been focused as alternative materials for the replacement of lead-based ceramics in piezoelectric industry [1]. Nevertheless, most of the lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have substandard properties as compared with lead-based piezoelectric ceramics. Much research works have been conducted to investigate new materials and methods for the improvement of piezoelectric properties of lead-free ceramics. In general, two methods are considered very effective: first, development of new ceramics through compositional modification of the morphotropic boundary (MPB) solid solution, second, fabrication of textured ceramics, i.e., ceramics having a uniform grain orientation.
Grain orientation technique, such as templated grain growth (TGG) method has been largely used to prepare textured ferroelectric and piezoelectric ceramics with perovskite structure [2]. In this work, textured 0.94Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-0.06BaZrO3 (NBT-BZ) ceramics with a preferred {100} grain orientation were fabricated by a tape casting method using plate-like Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) particles and their physical properties were compared with non-textured NBT-BZ ceramics prepared by a conventional method. The experimental results show that textured NBT-BZ ceramics sintered at 1150 oC for 15 h have improved dielectric and piezoelectric properties. Both textured and non-textured ceramics exhibit pseudo-cubic crystal structure, however, textured NBT-BZ ceramics have {100} preferred orientation degree of 83% and have large grain growth. The room temperature dielectric constant increased from 1250 for non-textured ceramics to 1580 for the textured NBT-BZ ceramics. The textured ceramics show high piezoelectric constant than non-textured NBT-BZ ceramics. In addition, the field-induced strain response improved from 0.15% for non-textured NBT-BZ to 0.30% for textured NBT-BZ ceramics.
