| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we have established the processing for BaTiO3-based and NaNbO3-based lead-free piezoelectric ceramics at temperatures lower than the melting point of Ni metals and under a low oxygen partial pressure, which have the piezoelectric constants equivalent to those of the samples prepared in air. Precise control of the reducing atmosphere was achieved by properly setting the mixing ratio of Ar, H2, and CO2 gases. In resultant BaTiO3-based and NaNbO3-based ceramics sintered under low oxygen partial pressure, the piezoelectric properties were improved while maintaining high sintering densities by optimizing the types of acceptor ions and the amounts of doping. In particular, in NaNbO3-based materials, the Curie temperature could be maintained at around 200°C or higher. For BaTiO3-based materials, we succeeded in fabricating grain-oriented ceramics and improving electrical properties by a reactive template grain growth method using platelike perovskite oxide particles.
