Piezoelectric materials have been vastly used in ultrasonic transducers for medical imaging. In this paper, firstly, the most promising lead-free compositions with perovskite structure imaging applications reviewed. The electromechanical properties of various ceramics, composites, and single crystals based on barium titanate, bismuth sodium potassium niobate, lithium niobate are presented. Then, fundamental principles design considerations briefly described. Finally, recent developments...
We have studied the processing and electromechanical properties of Mn Fe‐doped 0.88[Bi 0.5 Na TiO 3 ]–0.08[Bi K ]–0.04[Bi Li ] piezoelectric ceramics prepared by mixed oxide route. Different amounts (0.01, 0.014, 0.015, 0.016, 0.017, 0.02, 0.022) or Fe (0.0125, 0.0175) were doped to this lead‐free composition. Ceramics sintered at different temperatures (1075°C–1150°C) achieve highest density mechanical quality factor. doping resulted in a considerable enhancement Q m both planar thickness...
This paper discusses the fabrication and characterization of 3.5-MHz single-element transducers for therapeutic applications in which active elements are made hard lead-free BNT-based commercial PZT (PZT-841) piezoceramics.

A novel dual photoabsorber interface: perovskite oxynitride (SrNbO 2 N) deposited on silicon (100), and a H ER catalyst (Ni 5 P 4 or Ni P)-silicon, are fabricated. Titanium nitride (TiN) is introduced as blocking layer between Sr Nb O 7 Si which produces clean interfaces. During the high temperature ammonolysis step needed to convert SrNbO N, it effective at (but not Sr) migration. half-cell cathode with P)-photoabsorber interface approaching best-in-class overpotentials for films : 211mV vs...

Current photoelectrochemical devices for water electrolysis suffer from low stability and efficiency. Aims to address both those needs have been realized using a system that uses two sequential solar light absorbers (semiconductors) — in conjunction with oxygen evolution reaction (OER) hydrogen (HER) catalysts. Each absorber has built-in electric field (band-bending) achieved by doping allow matching of valence (VB) conduction (CB) band energy levels the electrochemically required OER HER...
