Bioelectrical phenomenon in natural bone has been well recognized for its role in bone
development and fracture healing. For example, the piezoelectricity induced modulation in …

Piezoelectric materials convert mechanical energy into electric energy, and vice versa. They
have been applied in many critical fields, such as motor vehicles, medical devices, the …

Lead-free Na0. 5K0. 5NbO3 (NKN) and Na0. 475K0. 475Li0. 05NbO3 (NKLN) ceramics
doped with CuO were prepared by the mixed oxide route. The powders were calcined at 850 …

High temperatures (≥ 1100° C) and narrow temperature window (∼ 20° C) for sintering
dense K 0.5 Na 0.5 NbO 3 ceramics always deteriorate their electrical properties. Here, via …

Piezoelectric ceramics are inexpensive functional materials which are widely used in sonar
detection, home appliances, meteorological detection, telemetry and environmental …

Multilayer ceramic actuator (MLCA) has been widely employed in actuators due to the large
cumulative displacement under the low driving voltage. In this work, the MLCA devices …

High-temperature and high-performance piezoelectric ceramics were urgently required in
the oil drilling, automotive and aerospace industries. Here, a solid solution of (0.67-x) BiFeO …

ZnO was used to decrease the sintering temperature of 1.5 mol% MnO2-added (Na0. 5K0.
5) NbO3 (MNKN) ceramics. When a small amount of ZnO (≥ 2.0 mol%) was added, a dense …

Abstract 1 wt% Li 2 CO 3-or La 2 O 3-doped 0.75 BaTiO 3–0.15 CaTiO 3–0.1 BaZrO 3
(BCZT) lead-free ceramics were prepared by the solid-state reaction method sintered at …

A homogeneous KNbO 3 (KN) phase was formed in specimens that were sintered at 1020°
C and 1040° C, without formation of the K 2 O-deficient secondary phase, indicating that the …
