Funded Activity Summary

Giant piezo responses in rare-earth doped eco-friendly relaxor perovskites. This project aims to design and fabricate superior eco-friendly substitutions for lead-based perovskites widely used in piezoelectric devices, to address the long-standing toxic concern of lead for human beings and the environment in the community. It is expected to surmount the fundamental limit of current approaches to reach giant room-temperature piezoelectric responses in lead-free perovskites through using a pioneering route named rare-earth doped relaxor/morphotropic phase boundary crossover. Success of this project will not only meet the Australia’s ecological sustainability goals, but also provide commercial opportunities for Australia in the large market of piezoelectric devices (> 25 Billion USD annually).
