In this work we present the preparation and characterization of cerium doped lanthanum zirconate (LCZO) films and non-stoichiometric lanthanum zirconate (LZO) buffer layers on metallic Ni-5% W substrates using chemical solution deposition (CSD), starting from aqueous precursor solutions. La₂Zr₂O₇ films doped with varying percentages of Ce at constant La concentration (La0.5CexZr1-xOy) were prep...

A ferroelectric heater under A.C. field was demonstrated by using lead zirconate titanate and barium titanate ceramics. The temperature of the ceramics was increased from room temperature to its curie temperature of phase transition under an A.C. field. The heating characteristics greatly depend on the compositions of ceramics. It is proposed that the heating behavior is related to the domain s...

The objective of this work is to describe the current state rapidly evolving field 3D piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems (piezoMEMS), and where it needs go fully leverage potential performance benefits offered by atomic layer deposition (ALD). We define piezoMEMS as application ALD films 3D, high aspect-ratio, mechanically pliable structures. Since there are so few existing reports pi...

Comparative study of the of azo Dyes (as a class important organic pollutants photodegradation process) in aqueous solution employing H2 O2 /UV and K2 S2 O8 /UV systems in a photochemical reactor were investigated. Lead zirconate titanate [Pb (Zr0.58Ti0.42) O3 ] (PZT) nanocatalyst was synthesized via the sol-gel method. Then, photocatalytic properties of dopant type on PZT were determined in a ...

Amultifunctional material, strontium zirconate, SrZrO3, studied in literatures as a dielectric ceramics, thermal barrier coating, proton-conductor, and luminescent material was sprayed by a water-stabilized plasma torch WSP 500. Stainless steel and plain carbon steel were used as substrates. Coatings with thickness of 1 to 2 mm were produced, whereas the substrates were preheated over 450 °C. T...

Wearable nanogenerators are of vital importance to portable energy-harvesting and personal electronics. Here we report a method to synthesize a lead zirconate titanate textile in which nanowires are parallel with each other and a procedure to make it into flexible and wearable nanogenerators. The nanogenerator can generate 6 V output voltage and 45 nA output current, which are large enough to p...
