Piezoelectric materials known as lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics are frequently employed in a wide range of electronic devices, including sensors, actuators, transducers, and energy harvesters. Lead, zirconium, titanium, and oxygen atoms are organized in a perovskite crystal structure to form PZT ceramics.
PZT ceramics are special because of their ability to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa because to their piezoelectric action.
A PZT ceramic develops an electric charge on its surface when it is subjected to an external mechanical force, such as pressure or vibration. Similar to this, the ceramic experiences a deformation or strain when an electric field is applied to it.
PZT ceramics can function at high frequencies and temperatures and are very effective at turning mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. PZT ceramics are the perfect material to utilize in sensors and transducers that need to be very sensitive and quick to react.
PZT ceramics are also employed in energy harvesting devices that turn mechanical vibrations into electrical energy, inkjet printers, and medical ultrasound imaging.
It is important to note that the use of lead in PZT ceramics has sparked controversy owing to potential dangers to the environment and human health. To overcome these issues, alternative lead-free piezoelectric materials are being researched and developed.
Global lead zirconate titanate ceramics market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Modified lead zirconate titanate ceramics with high shear coupling coefficient, low permittivity, and good temperature stability are created by Piezo Technologies. Applications for high frequency shear resonance utilise a range of modified lead zirconate titanate materials.
High voltage generators, medical therapy, HIFU, hydrophones, accelerometers, levels, acoustic emission, pressure, flow, NDT medical, air shear, knock, sonar, and igniter transducers are a few examples of common uses.
A modified lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramic with excellent hydrophone and accelerometer compatibility is Piezo Technologies’ K-350. It works exceptionally well as a high voltage generator and may be operated at medium power levels.
