Abstract
- (Ba 0.99 Ca 0.01 )(Ti 0.98 Zr 0.02 )O 3 (BCZT) and Pr-doped samples (Pr 0.002 Ba 0.988 Ca 0.01 )(Ti 0.98 Zr 0.02 )O 3 (BCZT-A) as well as 0.998(Ba 0.99 Ca 0.01 )(Ti 0.98 Zr 0.02 )O 3 -0.002PrO 1.5 (BCZT-W) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. The structural, dielectric, piezoelectric, ferroelectric and luminescence properties of the Pr-doped BCZT ceramics were systematically studied. The orthorhombic-tetragonal (O–T) phase transition temperature decreased obviously, while Curie temperature ( T C ) maintained at 118 °C for both of the Pr-doped BCZT ceramics. The BCZT-A ceramics exhibited the best piezoelectric properties ( d 33 = 344 pC/N) and ferroelectric properties ( P r = 13.042 μC/cm 2 ). Meanwhile, desired luminescence properties (bright reddish-orange light, emission peak centered at 649 nm) were obtained under an excitation of 448 nm at room temperature for BCZT-A and BCZT-W ceramics. The luminescence properties of the BCZT-A ceramics were better than those of the BCZT-W ceramics. Asymmetric structure, coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal phases at room temperature and less oxygen vacancies exhibited in BCZT-A ceramics could result in the improved piezoelectric properties and luminescence properties simultaneously. These results suggest that the BCZT-A ceramics have potential application as a multifunctional device by integrating its excellent electrical and luminescence properties.
