Article Abstract
Homogeneous PbTiO (PT) templates are considered an ideal choice for textured lead-based piezoceramics. In order to further investigate the texture mechanism and topological microcrystal conversion of PT templates, a comparative investigation and mechanistic analysis were conducted on Pb(MgNb)O-30PbTiO (PMN-30PT) textured ceramics prepared using the template grain growth (TGG) technique, with 〈001〉 oriented BaTiO (BT) and PbTiO (PT) as templates. The results show that the use of BT templates resulted in a textured ceramic with a Logtering factor of 91%, a piezoelectric coefficient of 824 pC N, and parallel striped domains, compared to 11%, 534 pC N, and fingerprint-like domains with PT templates. However, the PT templates have poor morphology and structural instability. This is due to the chaotic substitution of Bi with Pb and interlayer detachment at the 4a position during the topochemical conversion process, which results in the formation of PT nanosheets. At the same time, the residues of Bi lead to the formation of a more complex Aurivillius structure and allow PT templates to be embedded in this structure. Additionally, the lower formation energy, the increased lattice parameter difference, and the lower melting point of PT templates make them more susceptible to diffusion into the matrix grain. Based on this comprehensive analysis, it can be concluded that achieving textured piezoceramics with PT templates is a challenging task.

Because of its low hysteresis, high dielectric constant, and strong piezoelectric response, Pb(MgNb)O-PbTiO (PMN-PT) thin films have attracted considerable attention for the application in PiezoMEMS, field-effect transistors, and energy harvesting and storage devices. However, it remains a great challenge to fabricate phase-pure, pyrochlore-free PMN-PT thin films. In this study, we demonstrate that a high deposition rate, combined with a tensile mismatched template layer can stabilize the perovskite phase of PMN-PT films and prevent the nucleation of passive pyrochlore phases.

An electrochemical sensor based on loading molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) on the material surface can improve the specificity towards the object. In this work, a T-shaped PbTiO with a high active-exposed (110) facet was prepared by a hydrothermal process. Then, Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) modified T-shaped PbTiO was obtained by in-situ photocatalytic reduced method under UV irradiation, where a hetero-junction was formed with a well lattice matching between the (111) facet of Ag and the (110) facet of PbTiO.

The figure-of-merits of ferroelectrics for transducer applications are their electromechanical coupling factor and the operable temperature range. Relaxor-PbTiO ferroelectric crystals show a much improved electromechanical coupling factor k (88~93%) compared to their ceramic counterparts (65~78%) by taking advantage of the strong anisotropy of crystals. However, only a few relaxor-PbTiO systems, for example Pb(InNb)O-Pb(MgNb)O-PbTiO, can be grown into single crystals, whose operable temperature range is limited by their rhombohedral-tetragonal phase transition temperatures (T: 60~120 °C).

Simultaneous manipulation of multiple boundary conditions in nanoscale heterostructures offers a versatile route to stabilizing unusual structures and emergent phases. Here, we show that a stable supercrystal phase comprising a three-dimensional ordering of nanoscale domains with tailored periodicities can be engineered in PbTiO-SrRuO ferroelectric-metal superlattices. A combination of laboratory and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, piezoresponse force microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy and phase-field simulations reveals a complex hierarchical domain structure that forms to minimize the elastic and electrostatic energy.
