Lead-free Niobate-based Perovskite Piezoelectrics: From Bulk to Thin Film
Speaker
Professor Jing-Feng Li
(School of Materials Science and Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China)
Abstract
eveloping high-performance lead-free piezoelectrics has been one of the most active materials research topics in the last decades, and extensive studies have been concentrated on sodium potassium niobate (K,Na)NbO3 (KNN), whose piezoelectricity has been pushed to a high level close to that of PZT family. This talk will give an overview on our research activities to develop high-performance KNN-based lead-free piezoceramics, of which the overall performances are superior to the other representative lead-free piezoelectric ceramics and are comparable to the commercialized PZT-based ceramics. I will also introduce our works on the sol-gel processing techniques and characterization of KNN-based thin films, which have received increasing attention because of their promising applications in microelectromechanical systems and some emerging nanotechnologies.
