The invention discloses a high-performance piezoelectric ceramic and a preparation method thereof. The chemical general formula is Pb<n>Sr<m>(Mg<1/3>Nb<2/3>) Zr<y>Ti<x>O<3>+g%CeO<2>+h%PbO+b%CuO+d%Nb<2>O<5>, in the formula, 0.927 < = n < = 0.976, 0.024 < = m < = 0.073, 0.25 < = z < = 0.25, 0.35 < = y < = 0.35, 0.50 < = x < = 0.60, 0.4<=g<=0.7, 0.1<=h<=0.3, 0.1<=b<=0.3, 0.1<=d<=0.3. According to thepreparation method, Pb(Mg<1/3>Nb<2/3>)O<3> is synthesized, and adding into a PZT system is adopted to realize high intensity. The prepared product is high in density, high in power, high in efficiency, and high in quality. The piezoelectric ceramic is a modified hard PZT system piezoelectric ceramic, has high power bearing capacity and high comprehensive performance, can meet the requirements ofpeople, is extremely suitable for power type transducers with extremely high power and high driving requirements, and can be widely applied to sensors with extremely high power requirements such as high-power sound wave welding and fishery group detection.
