The application discloses a PZT piezoelectric
ceramic electrode and a preparation method of the
electrode, and belongs to the technical field of piezoelectric ceramics. The method comprises the following steps: step one, taking a
ceramic sheet with printed electrodes, passing air and heating to 450-550 DEG C, and keeping the temperature for 45-90 min; step two, increasing the air flow and continuously heating to 750-850 DEG C, and keeping the temperature for 10-30 min; step three, after the temperature keeping, cooling to 550-650 DEG C, passing
nitrogen, and keeping the temperature for 3-5 min; and step four, reducing the
nitrogen flow, cooling to normal temperature with the furnace, and taking out. The PZT piezoelectric
ceramic electrode is prepared by using air and
nitrogen, the number of
oxygen vacancies in the ceramic
crystal is increased by using nitrogen, the defects caused by the oxidation of the electrode surface and the
micro defects in the glass phase are reduced, the
dielectric loss of the ceramic is reduced, the
electromechanical coupling coefficient of the ceramic is increased, the electrical characteristics of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet are improved, and the high-temperature stability and the silver layer adhesion of the piezoelectric ceramic are improved.
