Practical applications of specific piezoelectric ceramics materials
1)Research status of high temperature piezoelectric materials: SiO2 is one of the earliest piezoelectric materials applied to devices. Due to its stable resonant frequency and good temperature stability, it is widely used in the production control and management of all communication system frequencies. In the piezoelectric transducer datasheet components, such as clocks, microprocessors, etc. Lead bismuth citrate (PN) has a tungsten bronze structure, low mechanical quality factor (Qm) value, high ratio of d33 to d31, and is widely used in non-destructive testing (NDT) and medical diagnostic fields. Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) and lithium niobate (LiTaO3) are similar in the structure and performance, and are often referred to as crystals having a lithium niobate type structure. With the good piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity, ferroelectricity, electro-optic and nonlinear optical properties, it is widely used to fabricate high temperature transducers, filters, pyroelectric infrared detectors, laser modulators and A variety of functional devices such as frequency multipliers.

It utilizes the positive piezoelectric effect and the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric ceramic material to complete the mutual conversion between mechanical energy and electrical energy, and realize the high and low voltage conversion. One of the most typical applications of piezoelectric transformers is to drive CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp). The DC-DC converter is much lighter than the traditional electromagnetic transformer, and the energy density and efficiency can be greatly improved. The electric transformer has the advantages of high power density, high current isolation, low electromagnetic interference, etc., and can replace the electromagnetic transformer in some application fields. Making full use of its advantages, which not only can realize the miniaturization of the converter, but also solve the existence in the power electronics and electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues.
7)Piezoelectric actuators are devices that use mechanical inverse effects to form mechanical drives or controls. Since the piezoelectric body has the advantages of fast response, high precision and anti-interference, the driving and control device constructed by the piezoelectric body has a simple structure and a quick reaction.

Because piezoelectric ceramics and piezoelectric polymers produce the measurable electrical signals for applied stresses. An important application of piezoelectric fibers is the fabrication of piezoelectric fiber composites (PFCs), which are a combination of sensing and driving. The adaptive structure of intelligent materials systems and structures is one of the features that can be adapted. Changes in the environment is the realization of structural shape and vibration control. This is vital for aviation and spacecraft. Piezoelectric ceramics composites (PFC) provide a good material for adaptive structures. As well as damp noise reduction applications, in order to achieve miniaturization of sensors and drivers to make complex shapes, it is desirable to incorporate technologies in the semiconductor industry, such as lithography. In order to make the lithography easy to perform piezo ceramics, it is possible to incorporate a polymer material that is easily repaired by ultraviolet rays into a piezoelectric ceramic element casting process, which may be used in the piezo ceramic structure prepared by a smart material system. The combination of sensing and driving functions with the control system can be used to deposit an electronic piezo ceramic film on a silicon integrated circuit.Piezoelectric materials have been widely used in information, biology, military and new energy fields. With the development of modern science and technology, it is the continuous improvement of piezoelectric materials technology, it is believed that piezoelectric materials will spread to every corner of people's daily life. Moreover, the preparation technology and application development of piezoelectric materials will continue to be a hot topic of concern.
