High-performance piezoceramics are some of the most important and widely used materials,
and as such research into this topic is at the forefront of high-technology advanced …

Ferroelectrics have a spontaneous electrical polarization that is arranged into domains and
can be reversed by an externally-applied field. This high versatility makes them useful in …

The next-generation capacitors have placed higher requirements on energy-storage
dielectrics, such as high temperature, high frequency and high voltage. Perovskite …

Texture-engineered ceramics enable access to a vast array of novel texture-property
relations leading to property values ranging between those of single crystals and isotropic …

Texturing is an effective method to improve the piezoelectric properties of lead-free
piezoceramics. In the present study, textured (K, Na) NbO 3-based piezoceramics with a …

Abstract Recently developed Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 (BNT)-based piezoceramics face two
urgent obstacles: high driving field required to trigger large strain and poor temperature …

In this study, it is reported that various properties can be selectively derived in a pure (K 0.5
Na 0.5) NbO 3, KNN ceramics through optimizing the sintering temperature by the …

Achieving lead-free bulk ceramics with high energy storage densities has been a long-term
goal pursued by researchers. Using a core–shell structural strategy, we achieved high …

Considering the environment and human health, highly transparent lead-free (1− x) K0.
5Na0. 5NbO3–xCa (Zn1/3Nb2/3) O3 (abbreviated as KNN–xCZN) piezoceramics were …

This study investigates the hydrothermal synthesis of KNbO 3-NaNbO 3 particles, which
contains compositions of interest as lead-free piezoelectric materials. Precursor solutions …
