Abstract:A straightforward and inexpensive electrophoretic method for obtaining environment-friendly nanocrystalline piezo layers from Rochelle salt (RS) is presented here. The electrophoretic deposition process includes the formation of nanocrystals by precipitation of Rochelle salt/water solutions in ethanol (anti-solvent method) under the influence of a high electric field. A nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide membrane is used to separate the electrochemical cell into two chambers. The composition of the RS:H2O:EtOH m… Show more
