Influence of Poling Methods on the Properties of  PZT-4 Piezoelectric Ceramics

Abstract

Abstract: Pb(Zr_1-xTi_x)O₃(PZT) piezoelectric ceramics have been used extensively due to their comprehensive performance. Compared with direct current poling (DCP) and alternating current poling (ACP) methods, the combining DCP and ACP method can further improve the piezoelectric properties of relaxor-based ferroelectric single crystals. Here, the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of DCP, ACP, and ACP+DCP PZT-4 piezoelectric ceramics. The optimal poling conditions of DCP, ACP, and ACP+DCP were studied. The d₃₃ of ACP+DCP PZT-4 piezoelectric ceramics reported in this paper is 350 pC/N, which is 15% and 9% higher than that of DCP (305 pC/N) and ACP (320 pC/N) samples. The strain value under electric field of the ACP PZT-4 ceramic (0.08%) is higher than that of the DCP sample (0.05%), indicating that ACP can effectively improve the strain value of PZT-4 ceramics. However, the increased hysteresis of the strain curve for ACP sample is not conducive to application. The effect of ACP on hard PZT piezoelectric ceramics needs to be further explored.
