Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

BACKGROUND

[0002] The piezoelectric transducer has the characteristics of high electroacoustic efficiency and large power capacity, and is widely used in modern high-tech fields such as petroleum chemical industry, aerospace, medical equipment, etc. The PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material as the core component of the piezoelectric transducer utilizes the positive / negative piezoelectric effect to realize efficient conversion between mechanical energy and electrical energy. However, in the operation process of the transducer, energy loss will inevitably lead to heat generation, which will directly affect the service life of the device. Therefore, the piezoelectric ceramic is required to have high mechanical quality factor to ensure that the energy loss is as low as possible. At the same time, in order to realize higher vibration speed and improve the output power, the piezoelectric ceramic needs to have large piezoelectric coefficient, which helps to promote the miniaturization and intelligent development of the electromechanical equipment.

[0036] The present application is further illustrated by the following examples, which should be understood as merely illustrative of the present application and not limiting thereof.

[0037] First, the present invention provides a PSN-PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material with both high mechanical quality factor and large piezoelectric coefficient. The chemical composition of the PSN-PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material can be: Pb 1-x Ba x (Sb 0.5 Nb 0.5 ) y Zr z Ti 1-y-z O3-0.6mol%Mn(Pb 1-x Ba x SNZT-Mn); where: 0≤x≤0.16, 0.01≤y≤0.04, 0.50≤z≤0.52.

[0038] The present invention uses a ternary system, PSN-PZT, as the matrix material. By equimolarly substituting Ba for Pb at the A-site of the perovskite and doping with 0.6 mol% Mn, a PZT-based piezoelectric material with a high mechanical quality factor and large piezoelectric coefficient is obtained. The high piezoelectric coefficient stems from the lattice distortion caused by Ba doping and the multiphase coexistence of the MPB region. Furthermore, the highly oriented domain structure resulting from thermoelectric coupling enhances the extrinsic contribution to the piezoelectric response, which is the primary reason for the high piezoelectric coefficient. The high mechanical quality factor is attributed to the defect dipoles formed by Mn doping and the additional oxygen vacancies in the lattice caused by Ba segregation, which inhibit domain wall motion. Furthermore, the ceramic obtained by Ba and Mn doping combines a high mechanical quality factor with a large piezoelectric coefficient, a high Curie temperature, and good temperature stability, making it promising for application in high-power transducers.

[0039] If the value of x is too large, the piezoelectric coefficient increases slightly, but due to the enhanced diffusion phase transition effect, the mechanical quality factor and Curie temperature will be significantly reduced. If the value of y is too large or too small, or if z is too large or too small, the phase structure will shift to the MPB region, the region where multiple phases coexist, which is not conducive to the piezoelectric coefficient. If the Mn doping level is too high, the defect dipoles formed will have an excessively strong pinning effect on the domain wall, resulting in a decrease in the piezoelectric coefficient. If the doping level is too low, the mechanical quality factor is small, and the performance characteristics of the piezoelectric coefficient are only high.

[0040] The piezoelectric coefficient of the PSN-PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material was tested using a ZJ-3A quasi-static tester from the Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy of Sciences; and the mechanical quality factor of the PSN-PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material was tested using an impedance analyzer (HP4294A).

[0041] In some embodiments, the PSN-PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material has a mechanical quality factor of at least 546, preferably 546-726, more preferably 679-726; a piezoelectric coefficient of at least 423 pC / N, preferably 423-502 pC / N, more preferably 474-502 pC / N; and a Curie temperature of 233-350°C.

[0042] Hereinafter, the preparation method of the PSN-PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material provided by the present application is exemplarily described. The preparation method of the PSN-PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material can include the following steps:

[0043] (1) Pb3O4 powder, BaCO3 powder, Sb2O3 powder, Nb2O5 powder, ZrO2 powder, TiO2 powder and MnCO3 powder are weighed according to the stoichiometric ratio of Pb3O4 0.6 mol% Mn, and after mixing, drying and sieving, raw material powder is obtained; 1-x Ba x (Sb 0.5 Nb 0.5 ) y Zr z Ti 1-y-z O3-0.6mol% Mn, and after mixing, drying and sieving, raw material powder is obtained;

[0044] (2) The raw material powder is calcined and finely ground to obtain ceramic powder;

[0045] (3) The ceramic powder is mixed with a binder, granulated, aged and formed to obtain ceramic green bodies;

[0046] (4) The ceramic green bodies are arranged, sintered and cooled to obtain the PSN-PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material.

[0047] In some embodiments, in step (1), the purity of the raw material powder is > 99%; the mixing method can be ball milling, and the ball milling medium can be zirconium balls and water, wherein the weight ratio of material: water: balls can be 0.9-1.1: 1.1-1.3: 2.5-3.5, preferably 1: 1.2: 3; the ball milling speed can be 300-360 rpm, preferably 340 rpm, and the ball milling time can be 3-5 hours, preferably 4 hours; the drying temperature can be 80-120°C, and the drying time can be 6-12 hours; and the sieve mesh for sieving can be 30-50 mesh, preferably 40 mesh.

[0048] In some embodiments, in step (2), the calcination temperature can be 840-860℃, preferably 850℃, the holding time can be 1-3 hours, preferably 2 hours, and the heating rate can be 1-2℃ / min, preferably 2℃ / min. The purpose of calcination is to perform chemical reactions and synthesize a single phase. If the calcination temperature is too low, the reaction is insufficient and the performance is reduced. If the calcination temperature is too high, a large amount of lead oxide is easily volatilized, making it difficult to crush the pre-fired material.

[0049] In some embodiments, in step (2), the ball milling medium can be water and zirconium balls, and the weight ratio of material:water:ball can be 0.9-1.1:1.2-1.4:3-5, preferably 1:1.3:4; the ball milling speed can be 350-400 rpm, preferably 360 rpm, and the ball milling time can be 5-8 hours, preferably 6 hours.

[0050] In some embodiments, in step (2), the particle size of the ceramic powder after fine grinding can be controlled to be 1-3um. Through the process of calcination and fine grinding, the following effects can be achieved: (1) particle uniformization: the particle size of the ceramic powder after calcination is not uniform, fine grinding can break and uniformize these particles, ensuring the density and uniformity of the material during subsequent forming and sintering; (2) improve sintering activity: the powder after fine grinding has a larger specific surface area, which helps to improve the activity during sintering, so that dense sintering can be achieved at a lower temperature, thereby reducing the grain growth and improving the mechanical properties and piezoelectric properties of the material; (3) improve the forming performance: the powder after fine grinding has better flowability and is easy to form, which can reduce defects during the forming process, improve the density and uniformity of the green body, and thus improve the quality of the final product.

[0051] In some embodiments, in step (3), the binder can be a polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution with a concentration of 6-7wt%; and the amount of the binder added can be 5-7wt% of the mass of the ceramic powder, preferably 6wt%.

[0052] In some embodiments, in step (3), the aging temperature can be 20-30℃, and the aging time can be 12-36 hours, preferably 24 hours. Aging can rearrange and adjust the particles inside the material, eliminate internal stress, and thus improve the uniformity and stability of the green body.

[0053] In some embodiments, in step (4), the plastic removal temperature can be 600-700℃, preferably 650℃, the holding time can be 1.5-3 hours, preferably 2 hours, and the heating rate can be 1-2℃ / min, preferably 2℃ / min.

[0054] In some embodiments, in step (4), the sintering temperature may be 1220-1270°C, preferably 1250°C, the holding time may be 1-3 hours, preferably 2 hours, and the heating rate may be 1-3°C / min, preferably 2°C / min. If the sintering temperature is too high or the holding time is too long, the grains may grow abnormally, resulting in abnormally large and irregularly shaped grains, and lead volatilization may be severe. If the sintering temperature is too low or the holding time is too short, the ceramic material may not be fully densified, leaving a large number of pores, which may affect the mechanical strength and piezoelectric properties of the material.

[0055] In some embodiments, in step (4), the cooling process can be: first cooling to 800-900°C (e.g., 850°C) at a rate of 1-5°C / min (e.g., 2°C / min), and then naturally cooling to room temperature in the furnace. This cooling rate can promote the segregation of Ba in this material system, forming internal defect vacancies, thereby obtaining a higher mechanical quality factor.

[0056] In some embodiments, step (4) may further include silver sintering and thermoelectric coupling treatment of the cooled blank.

[0057] In some embodiments, the silver sintering process may include: polishing the cooled blank to a thickness of 0.9-1.1 mm (e.g., 1 mm), coating silver electrodes on the upper and lower surfaces of the blank by screen printing, and then sintering the silver at 750-850° C. (e.g., 800° C.) for 10-20 minutes (e.g., 15 minutes).

[0058] In some embodiments, the thermoelectric coupling treatment process may include: heating the silver-sintered blank to 30-100° C. (e.g., 290-400° C.) above the Curie temperature, then adjusting the voltage through a voltage regulator so that the electric field applied to the silver-sintered blank is 100-500 V / mm (e.g., 500 V / mm) and remains unchanged, and waiting for natural cooling to room temperature to complete the thermoelectric coupling treatment.

[0059] If the temperature is too low (below the Curie temperature), the domain structure cannot be re-nucleated; if the temperature is too high (more than 100°C above the Curie temperature), the domain structure control effect will be affected. At the same time, if the electric field is too small, the domain structure cannot be fully oriented; if the electric field is too large, it is easy to break through the ceramic.

[0060] The PSN-PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material is prepared by the steps of batching, mixing, calcining, fine grinding, molding, plastic removal, sintering, silver sintering and thermocouple coupling treatment through a solid phase sintering method, and the process flow is simple, the repeatability is good, the material performance is excellent and easy to control. Meanwhile, the piezoelectric ceramic material provided by the application has simple composition, high mechanical quality factor, large piezoelectric coefficient and high Curie temperature, and is suitable for high-power transducer application fields.
