Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of piezoelectric ceramic technology, specifically relating to a PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] PZT-based piezoelectric ceramics (the crystal structure of PZT-based piezoelectric ceramics belongs to the typical perovskite ABO3 structure, where the A site is Pb) 2+ B is Zr 4+ With Ti 4+ PZT-based piezoelectric ceramics (solid solutions) are currently the most widely used piezoelectric ceramic materials, possessing excellent electromechanical properties and good temperature stability, making them excellent candidate materials for low- and medium-temperature accelerometers. However, the application of PZT-based piezoelectric ceramics also faces certain challenges. Their Curie temperatures are typically between 250 and 350°C, making it difficult for them to maintain stable operation at high temperatures of 300°C, resulting in a significant decrease in piezoelectric performance or even the loss of the piezoelectric effect. This severely limits their application in the field of high-temperature sensors.

[0003] Currently, doping modification strategies are frequently used to improve the high-temperature performance of piezoelectric materials. Among these, soft dopants can replace the A-site Pb in perovskites. 2+ Lattice distortion is generated, which promotes the movement of electric domains and thus improves the piezoelectric performance at high temperatures. However, it also reduces the stability of the perovskite structure, thereby lowering the Curie temperature and temperature stability of PZT-based piezoelectric ceramics. It is difficult to achieve a simultaneous improvement in piezoelectric performance and the stability of the perovskite structure. Therefore, it is urgent to find a doping strategy that can improve the piezoelectric performance of piezoelectric ceramics at high temperatures while maintaining their temperature stability.

[0009] A method for preparing a PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material includes the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: Prepare lead source, zirconium source, titanium source, neodymium source and chromium source as raw materials, mix the raw materials until uniform, ball mill for the first time to obtain a mixture, pre-calcine at 850~950℃ for 2~4 hours, ball mill for the second time to obtain a secondary ball-milled powder. The ratio of lead in lead source, zirconium in zirconium source, titanium in titanium source, neodymium in neodymium source and chromium in chromium source by molar amount is 1:z:(1-z):0.02x:0.02y, 0.4≤x≤0.8, 0.15≤y≤0.25, 0.53≤z≤0.55;

[0011] In step 1, the lead source is lead tetroxide (Pb3O4), the zirconium source is zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), the titanium source is titanium dioxide (TiO2), the neodymium source is neodymium trioxide (Nd2O3), and the chromium source is chromium trioxide (Cr2O3).

[0012] In step 1, both the first and second ball milling are wet ball milling processes. The medium used in the wet ball milling is anhydrous ethanol, the wet ball milling time is 20-30 hours, and the wet ball milling speed is 350-450 r / min.

[0013] In the above technical solution, after wet ball milling, drying is carried out at a temperature of 60~80℃ for 4~6 hours.

[0014] Step 2: Granulate the secondary ball-milled powder, sieve it, and press it into shape to obtain a green sheet;

[0015] In step 2, the pressing pressure is 6~8 MPa.

[0016] In step 2, the granulation uses a binder, the mass of which is 1-5 wt% of the secondary ball-milled powder.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the adhesive is a polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution, and the content of polyvinyl alcohol in the polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution is 5~8wt%.

[0018] Step 3: Remove the binder from the green sheet and sinter it for the first time at 1150~1250℃ to obtain ceramic material;

[0019] In step 3, the temperature for degumming is 800~850℃, and the degumming time is 2~4h.

[0020] In step 3, the first sintering time is 1 to 3 hours.

[0021] Step 4: The ceramic material is sequentially coated with high-temperature silver paste, sintered a second time, and polarized under high pressure to obtain PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material.

These materials have a room temperature dielectric constant of 16.14–18.15, a room temperature dielectric loss of 2.23%–2.36%, and a maximum polarization of 42.0–44.5 μC / cm. 2The coercive field strength is 1.15~1.20kV / mm, the room temperature piezoelectric constant is 400~413pC / N, and the planar electromechanical coupling coefficient is 0.540~0.569.

[0028] 2. The PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material of the present invention exhibits excellent high-temperature stability, with a depolarization temperature T0. d After annealing at 300℃ multiple times or aging at room temperature for 120 days at 400℃, the room temperature piezoelectric constant only decreases by about 5%.

[0029] 3. The preparation method of this invention adopts the traditional solid-state reaction method, which is simple to operate and has low cost. Nd₂O₃ and Cr₂O₃, as dopants, respectively act as soft and hard dopants, which is beneficial to the combined improvement of piezoelectric properties and temperature stability. This allows for the maintenance of overall performance without degradation at high temperatures. Therefore, PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials can be considered excellent candidate materials for piezoelectric elements in high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometers. This invention effectively solves the technical problem that existing lead-based piezoelectric ceramic materials are difficult to simultaneously possess piezoelectric properties and temperature stability at 300℃.

As the amount of Nd2O3 doping increases, the Curie temperature of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material gradually decreases. The Curie temperature of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material prepared in Example 1 is as high as 397.3℃, which is closest to that of Comparative Example 1.

[0081] The hysteresis loops of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 and 2 are respectively as follows: Figure 4 (a) ~ Figure 4 As shown in (b), the hysteresis loops of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-5 are respectively as follows: Figure 5 (a) ~ Figure 5 As shown in (e), the maximum polarization intensity (P) corresponding to Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-5 was obtained based on the corresponding hysteresis loops. max ), remanent polarization intensity (P) r ) and coercive field strength (E c The polarization intensity (maximum polarization intensity (P)) of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-5 and Examples 1-2 max ), remanent polarization intensity (P) r and coercive field strength (E) c )like Figure 6 As shown in Table 3 and Figure 6It can be seen that in Comparative Examples 1-5 and Examples 1-2, as the value of x increases (i.e., the amount of Nd2O3 doping increases), the maximum polarization intensity (P) increases. max ) and remanent polarization intensity (P r The coercive field strength first increases and then decreases, gradually increasing, and Examples 1 and 2 reach the optimal equilibrium. The spontaneous polarization degree of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material prepared in Comparative Example 1 is significantly lower than that in Examples 1 and 2, proving that Examples 1 and 2 have higher piezoelectric properties. This is due to the fact that Examples 1 and 2 have a two-phase coexisting phase structure.

[0082] As shown in Table 3, in Comparative Examples 1-5 and Examples 1-2, as the value of x increases, the room temperature piezoelectric constant (d) decreases. 33 The value first increases and then decreases; the values ​​of d in Examples 1 and 2 are as follows: 33 Relatively large, d in Examples 1 and 2 33 They are 400 pC / N and 413 pC / N, respectively. p The variation of x with d shows a similarity. 33 The trend of change is basically the same in Examples 1 and 2. p The values ​​are 0.540 and 0.569, respectively. In summary, Examples 1 and 2 exhibit better overall performance.

[0083] As shown in Table 3, comparing Example 1, Comparative Example 6, and Comparative Example 7, the Curie temperature of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material increases significantly with the increase of the y value (i.e., the increase of Cr2O3 doping amount). This indicates that the addition of Cr2O3 helps to improve the temperature stability of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material. However, when the Cr2O3 doping amount is too high (Comparative Example 7), the ε of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material decreases. r , RT P max d 33 and k p The dielectric loss decreases sharply because of its low solid solution limit in the crystal lattice. Therefore, when the Cr2O3 doping amount is too high, it will accumulate at the grain boundaries, thus greatly affecting the electrical properties of PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials. This indicates that Cr2O3 mainly plays the role of hard doping in PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials, and appropriate doping can effectively improve the dielectric loss, high-temperature stability, and durability of piezoelectric ceramics. In Examples 1, 6, and 7, the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material in Example 1 (y=0.2) has the lowest coercive field strength (1.15 kV / mm), indicating that it has a strong domain flipping ability under an applied electric field and possesses relatively high electrical performance.

Figure 7 (a) and Figure 7As shown in (b), Figure 7 (b) is Figure 7 A magnified view of (a), (002) T and (200) T The characteristic peak of the tetragonal phase is (200). R The characteristic peaks are for the trigonal phase. The crystal structures of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Comparative Examples 8 and 9 exhibit a tetragonal phase; the crystal structure of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material prepared in Example 2 shows a coexistence of trigonal and tetragonal phases; the crystal structure of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Comparative Examples 10 and 11 is trigonal. The phase structure with coexistence of trigonal and tetragonal phases has a relatively flat Gibbs free energy curve, which is conducive to domain motion and thus helps to improve the piezoelectric properties of the system.

Simultaneously, the resonant and anti-resonant frequencies were measured, leading to the planar electromechanical coupling coefficient. Ferroelectric analyzer was used to test the hysteresis loops of the ceramic material under electric field strengths of 0.5 kV / mm, 1.0 kV / mm, 1.5 kV / mm, 2.0 kV / mm, 2.5 kV / mm, and 3 kV / mm, obtaining the maximum polarization, remanent polarization, and coercive field strength.

[0089] As can be seen from Table 4, with the increase of z value, ε r , RT The ε first increases and then decreases; at z=0.54, ε r , RT The highest value is 1815, which is due to the phase structure of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material prepared in Example 2, which has a coexistence of trigonal and tetragonal phases and a high degree of spontaneous polarization. The dielectric loss increases with increasing z-value, mainly due to the increased heat generated by enhanced domain wall motion.

Overall, among Examples 2 and Comparative Examples 8-11, the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material prepared in Example 2 (z = 0.54) exhibited better performance.

[0090] The hysteresis loops of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Comparative Examples 8, 9, 2, 10, and 11 are as follows: Figure 9 (a) ~ Figure 9 As shown in (e), the maximum polarization intensity (P) corresponding to Example 2 and Comparative Examples 8-11 was obtained based on the corresponding hysteresis loops. max ), remanent polarization intensity (P) r ) and coercive field strength (E c The polarization intensity (maximum polarization intensity (P)) of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Examples 2 and Comparative Examples 8-11 max ), remanent polarization intensity (P) r and coercive field strength (E) c)like Figure 9 As shown in (f), as the z value increases, P max and P r The coercive field strength initially increases and then decreases, gradually decreasing with increasing z value. When z = 0.54, P... max and P r The maximum coercive field strength is achieved, while the minimum coercive field strength is relatively low, thus reaching an optimal balance.

[0091] The room temperature dielectric constant, room temperature dielectric loss, Curie temperature, and planar electromechanical coupling coefficient of the ceramic material were determined using an impedance analyzer. The maximum polarization intensity of the ceramic material was determined using a ferroelectric analyzer. A quasi-static d-axis was used. 33 The room-temperature piezoelectric constant of the ceramic material was determined using a testing instrument. The ceramic material was one of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Example 2, Comparative Example 12, and Comparative Example 13. The room-temperature dielectric constant (ε0) of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Example 2, Comparative Example 12, and Comparative Example 13 is also described. r , RT ), room temperature dielectric loss (tanδ), Curie temperature (T) C ), maximum polarization intensity (P) max ), room temperature piezoelectric constant (d 33 ) and planar electromechanical coupling coefficient (k p As shown in Table 5.

Nd, La, and Ce are all lanthanides with similar chemical properties, indicating that doping with Nd homologues can improve the electrical properties of piezoelectric ceramics to some extent. However, the room temperature dielectric constant, Curie temperature, maximum polarization intensity, room temperature piezoelectric constant, and planar electromechanical coupling coefficient of Comparative Examples 12 and 13 are all lower than those of Example 2. This is because La and Ce have high tolerance factors with the PZT perovskite structure, and doping with La or Ce would disrupt the stability of the perovskite structure. This demonstrates the irreplaceable nature of Nd₂O₃ doping.

[0095] To further test the performance of PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials under high-temperature conditions, high-temperature annealing electrical tests were conducted on the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 and 2. The conditions for the high-temperature annealing electrical tests included holding at T1℃ for 30 min, with T1℃ being one of the following values: 25℃, 50℃, 75℃, 100℃, 125℃, 150℃, 175℃, 200℃, 225℃, 250℃, 275℃, 300℃, 325℃, 350℃, 375℃, 400℃, 425℃, and 450℃. The test results are as follows: Figure 10 As shown. By Figure 10 It can be seen that, Example 1 ( Figure 10 In the example "x=0.4") and Example 2 ( Figure 10 The PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared with "x=0.8" showed a relatively stable temperature variation trend in the range of 25℃ (room temperature) to 300℃. The depolarization temperature T of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 and 2 was also relatively stable. d Both were prepared at 400 °C, and the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 and 2 exhibited excellent thermal stability. Furthermore, the room-temperature piezoelectric constant d of Example 1 was [not specified]. 33 The room temperature piezoelectric constant d of Example 2 is 400 pC / N. 33 With a pC / N ratio of 413, it exhibits excellent piezoelectric properties. The excellent piezoelectric properties and the relatively stable variation trend in the range of room temperature to 300 °C demonstrate that the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 and 2 have great potential for application in high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometers.

[0096] At T2℃, an electric field of 2 kV / mm was applied to the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material prepared in Example 1 (without high-temperature annealing electrical testing) to conduct unipolar strain tests, yielding... Figure 11 The unipolar strain curves are shown. A 2 kV / mm electric field was applied to the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material (without high-temperature annealing electrical testing) prepared in Example 2 at 20–300 °C to perform unipolar strain testing, yielding the results. Figure 12 The unipolar strain curves are shown. T2℃ = 20℃, 60℃, 100℃, 140℃, 180℃, 220℃, 260℃, and 300℃. In the unipolar strain curves, the horizontal axis represents the temperature of the unipolar strain test, and the vertical axis represents the strain value. The strain value can be expressed as a percentage (%) or picometers per millimeter (pm / mm). In this invention, it is expressed as a percentage (%). The conversion relationship between percentage (%) and picometers per millimeter (pm / mm) is: 1% = 10. 7 pm / mm. By Figure 11 and Figure 12It can be seen that the strain values ​​of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material prepared in Example 1 at 20℃, 60℃, 100℃, 140℃, 180℃, 220℃, 260℃, and 300℃ are 0.220%, 0.225%, 0.233%, 0.239%, 0.244%, 0.246%, and 0.248%, respectively. The strain values ​​of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material prepared in Example 2 at 20℃, 60℃, 100℃, 140℃, 180℃, 220℃, 260℃, and 300℃ are 0.233%, 0.239%, 0.243%, 0.247%, 0.249%, 0.250%, 0.252%, and 0.255%, respectively. This indicates that the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 and 2 have good temperature stability.

[0097] The PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material prepared in Example 1 was aged at room temperature for D days, and the resulting piezoelectric constant variation graph is shown below. Figure 13 As shown in (a), D = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, or 120.

The corresponding d for each annealing... 33 like Figure 14 As shown in (b).

Compared with the room temperature piezoelectric constants of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 and 2 at day 0 of aging (400 pC / N and 413 pC / N, respectively), the room temperature piezoelectric constants decreased by 5% and 4.36%, respectively, demonstrating excellent durability.

[0100] Depend on Figure 13 (b) and Figure 14 As can be seen from (b), after the first annealing, the d of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 and 2... 33 Both decreased by approximately 15 pC / N during the second annealing. 33 The piezoelectric constants of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 and 2 after the fourth annealing were 381 pC / N and 395 pC / N, respectively. Compared with the piezoelectric constants of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1 and 2 after the fourth annealing, the piezoelectric constants decreased by 4.75% and 4.36%, respectively. This demonstrates their reliability in repeated use under harsh high-temperature environments and lays a good foundation for the application of PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials in high-temperature sensors.

[0101] Test Example 1

[0102] To better evaluate the performance of PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials in high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometers, a high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometer was designed. For example... Figure 15As shown, the high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometer sensor includes: a core, a cover 4, and a connector. The core includes: a base 1, two mass blocks 3, and two sets of piezoelectric elements. Each set of piezoelectric elements includes: one electrode plate 7 and one ceramic plate 6. The cover 4 is fitted onto the base 1 and together they form a cavity. A vertically arranged central column 1-1 is integrally formed on the upper part of the base 1. A horizontally arranged through hole is formed on the central column 1-1. Core mounting bolts 2 are used. Through the through hole, both the ceramic plate 6 and the electrode plate 7 are annular. Two sets of piezoelectric elements are fitted onto the core mounting bolts 2, with one set of piezoelectric elements on each side of the central column 1-1 (in each set, the ceramic plate 6 is closer to the central column 1-1, and the electrode plate 7 is farther away). Each set of piezoelectric elements is pressed against the side of the central column 1-1 by a mass block 3 (also annular). The positive electrode of each ceramic plate 6 is in contact with the electrode plate 7, and the negative electrode of each ceramic plate 6 is in contact with the central column 1-1 (the positive and negative electrodes of the ceramic plate 6 are connected by a quasi-static d...). 33 (Tester determined);

[0103] The connector is fixedly mounted on the top of the housing 4. The connector includes: a connector housing 5-1 and a connector pin 5-2 fixedly mounted inside the connector housing 5-1. Electrode leads are led out from the electrode plate 7 and electrically connected to the connector pin 5-2. The connector pin 5-2 is connected to the positive terminal of the external connector. The housing 4 and the base 1 are both made of conductive materials. The housing 4 is connected to the negative terminal of the external connector.

[0104] The thickness of ceramic sheet 6 is 0.8 mm. Ceramic sheet 6 is one of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Examples 1-2, Comparative Examples 2-3, and Comparative Example 9.

[0105] The external connector is an Agilent 4294A tester, which is used to test the sensitivity of the high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometer. The high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometer is heated from 25℃ to 300℃ (heating rate 5℃ / min), and the sensitivity is tested at 25℃, 50℃, 100℃, 150℃, 200℃, 250℃, and 300℃ during the heating process. When the temperature reaches 300℃, it is held for 2 hours. The sensitivity is then tested again at the first and second hours of the holding period. The sensitivity deviation is calculated based on the sensitivity results. Figure 16 As shown. The high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometer is one of the high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometers prepared from the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials of Examples 1-2, Comparative Examples 2-3, and Comparative Example 9. The formula for calculating the sensitivity deviation is: ΔS(%) = ,in, S(T) represents the sensitivity at the reference temperature (25℃); S(T) represents the sensitivity at the test temperature (test temperature is 25℃, 50℃, 100℃, 150℃, 200℃, 250℃ or 300℃); ΔS(%) represents the percentage change in sensitivity with temperature, i.e., the sensitivity deviation.

[0106] Depend on Figure 16 It can be seen that the sensitivity deviation of the high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometers prepared from the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials of Examples 1-2, Comparative Examples 2-3, and Comparative Example 9 all increased with increasing temperature, and the rate of increase tended to level off at 250℃. The sensitivity deviation of the high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometers prepared from the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials of Examples 1-2 was much lower than that of Comparative Examples 2-3 and Comparative Example 9. The Curie temperature has a significant impact on the sensitivity deviation. The Curie temperature (T0) of the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material prepared in Comparative Example 9 is significantly lower. C The PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic materials prepared in Comparative Example 9 are not significantly different from those prepared in Examples 1 and 2. However, the sensitivity deviation of the high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometer prepared from the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material in Comparative Example 9 is higher than that in Examples 1 and 2. This indicates that the technical solution of the present invention achieves simultaneous improvement in the performance of both the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material and the high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometer prepared from the PZT-based piezoelectric ceramic material.

[0107] The present invention has been described above by way of example. It should be noted that any simple modifications, alterations or other equivalent substitutions that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort without departing from the core of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
