The ban of lead in many electronic products and the expectation that, sooner or later, this
ban will include the currently exempt piezoelectric ceramics based on Lead-Zirconate …

In this review, the evolution of textured lead-free piezoceramics has been explored, primarily
focusing on the technique of templated grain growth (TGG) and reactive-templated grain …

A large body of work has been reported in the last 5 years on the development of lead‐free
piezoceramics in the quest to replace lead–zirconate–titanate (PZT) as the main material for …

A lead-free solid solution of two ferroelectrics, bismuth sodium titanate and barium titanate,
of a composition 0.96 (Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3)-0.04 (BaTiO 3)(termed as BNT-BT-4) was …

Texture engineering offers an approach for achieving enhanced properties in bulk ceramics
by introducing crystallographic anisotropy. Recent developments on texture engineering …

Texture engineering using reactive-templated grain growth (RTGG) is reviewed as a key
