Piezoelectric materials with excellent electromechanical performance are widely used as
core components in high-power applications such as ultrasonic transducers, piezoelectric …

Dielectric composites boost the family of energy storage and conversion materials as they
can take full advantage of both the matrix and filler. This review aims at summarizing the …

The field of lead-free piezoceramics, which aims to replace lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and
related perovskite materials, has been vibrant for almost 15 years. Once the science in this …

Ferroelectrics have a spontaneous electrical polarization that is arranged into domains and
can be reversed by an externally-applied field. This high versatility makes them useful in …

Abstract Domain wall motion in ferroics, similar to dislocation motion in metals, can be tuned
by well‐concepted microstructural elements. In demanding high‐power applications of …

The year of 2021 is the 100th anniversary of the first publication of ferroelectric behaviour in
Rochelle salt, focussing on its piezoelectric properties. Over the past many decades, people …

For the development of lead-free Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 prototype materials, it seems conflicting
to improve the piezoelectric response (d 33) and depolarization temperature (T d) …

Recently, quenching lead-free non-ergodic relaxor Na 1/2 Bi 1/2 TiO 3-BaTiO 3 (NBT-BT)
materials has been reported to increase the thermal depolarization temperature and …

Abstract Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3‐based materials have been earmarked for one of the first large‐
volume applications of lead‐free piezoceramics in high‐power ultrasonics. Zn2+‐doping is …

Hard-type ferroelectrics are indispensable and increasingly used for numerous high-power
piezoelectric resonance applications, ranging from ultrasonic welding and cleaning, to …
