Abstract

Perovskite-type Pb1.04(Mn1/3Sb2/3)0.05Zr0.47Ti0.48O3 + 0.15 wt.%SrCO3 + 0.15 wt.% MnO2 sintered at 1180 °C for 2 h exhibited high piezoelectric and dielectric properties of ε33 T/ε0 = 1518, tanδ = 0.32 %, d33 = 320PC/N, kp = 0.58 respectively. The sintering temperature of the above-mentioned matrix was decreased from 1180 °C to 925 °C with the addition of a small amount of CuO without reducing properties. The SrCO3 and CuO could react with PbO and formed a liquid phase during the sintering, which assisted densification of the specimens. The piezoelectric and dielectric properties were changed with the containing of CuO for 0.05 wt.%–1.5 wt.%. The result showed that the specimen sintered at 925 °C had the good piezoelectric properties of ρ = 7.9 g/cm3, tanδ = 0.0041, d33 = 289pC/N, Tc = 260 °C, Kp = 0.56, ε33 T/ε0 = 1621. Specimens owned these piezoelectric properties could be good candidate for multilayer piezoelectric transformers.
