    Abstract

    To reduce the sintering temperature of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) piezoelectric ceramics, PZT-based piezoelectric ceramics were fabricated via a solid-state reaction with Li2CO3 and Bi2O3 as composite sintering aids. The effects of the doping amount of Li2CO3-Bi2O3 and the sintering temperature on the phase structure, microstructure, and electrical properties of PZT piezoelectric ceramics were comprehensively investigated. When the doping amount of Li2CO3-Bi2O3 is 1.3 wt%, the sintering temperature of PZT piezoelectric ceramics can be decreased from 1 250 ℃ to 900-950 ℃, which is a wide sintering temperature range, and the ceramics exhibit outstanding electrical properties. The piezoelectric strain constant d33 can reach 538 pC/N when the sintering temperature is 900 ℃, and the piezoelectric voltage constant g33 reaches a maximum of 43.27 mVm/N when the sintering temperature is 950 ℃. Simultaneously, low-temperature co-firing of the ceramics and electrodes is accomplished, and the d33 of the ceramic chip after co-firing reaches 530 pC/N.
