Abstract

A lead zirconate titanate (PZT) sol was subjected to electrohydrodynamic atomization in the stable cone-jet mode. The droplets generated were sized by laser diffraction before deposition and heating to 600 °C. The droplets were 20–35 μm in size and transmission electron microscopy showed that their relics consisted of PZT powder particles, <10 nm in size. Thus, a novel method of preparing nano-powders of functional advanced materials, such as PZT, has been pioneered.
