Piezoelectric ceramics tailored for high-power resonance applications are investigated, utilizing a composite structure comprising the ferroelectric phase (K,Na)NbO as a matrix integrated with the alkali titanoniobate dielectric phase KTiNbO. Achieving a mechanical quality factor of 750, comparable to lead-based counterparts, highlights their suitability for demanding applications. Crucially, these ceramics exhibit exceptional temperature stability of electromechanical properties, a critical attribute for real-world applications subject to temperature variations. Characterization employs the small signal resonance method and high-power resonance measurements. Notably, within the 25 to 200 °C range, minimal decay of the mechanical quality factor is observed, affirming robust temperature stability under high-power conditions.

In recent decades, substantial progress has been made in embedding molecules, nanocrystals, and nanograins into nanofibers, resulting in a new class of hybrid functional materials with exceptional physical properties. Among these materials, functional nanofibers exhibiting ferroelectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, multiferroic, and nonlinear optical characteristics have attracted considerable attention and undergone substantial improvements. This review critically examines these developments, focusing on strategies for incorporating diverse compounds into nanofibers and their impact on enhancing their physical properties, particularly ferroelectric behavior and nonlinear optical conversion.

Piezoelectric effect, plasma effect and semiconductor heterostructure are important strategies for enhanced photocatalytic performance. Herein, we developed a novel heterostructure piezoelectric photocatalyst, Ag/AgS/BiFeO (AAS/BFO), for photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin from water. Experimental results verified the enhancement of combining heterostructure piezoelectric polarization effect, which promotes efficient migration and separation of photogenerated carriers due to the localized surface plasmon resonance effect of Ag nanoparticles.

The piezoelectric grating voltage sensor has garnered significant attention in the realm of intelligent sensing, attributed to its compact size, cost-effectiveness, robust electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity, and high network integration capabilities. In this paper, we propose a PZT-FBG (piezoelectric ceramic-fiber Bragg grating) voltage-temperature demodulation optical path architecture. This scheme effectively utilizes the originally unused temperature compensation reference grating, repurposing it as a temperature measurement grating.
