2. Lead-free piezoelectric materials, alternatives to PZT
Research into lead-free piezoelectric materials is driven by the need to find materials that are less harmful than PZT, but also to find piezoelectric materials that can be used in areas where PZT cannot, such as very high-temperature applications (> 350°C).
In 2004, a large piezoelectric coefficient d

, in textured potassium sodium niobate ceramics. Since then, intense research into lead-free piezoelectric ceramics has been carried out
