“…Although various templates of BaTiO 3 , 4,5 SrTiO 3 , 6,7 Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 , 8,9 PbTiO 3 , 10,11 etc., 12,13 have been reported to be useful for achievement of superior piezoelectric ceramics; overdosed templates, because heterogeneous templates act as impurities, have resulted in deterioration of piezoelectricity in matrix ceramics. In particular, the plate‐like BaTiO 3 template has been widely utilized for PbTiO 3 (PT)‐based piezoelectric ceramics such as Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ‐PbTiO 3 , 14–16 Pb(In 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 ‐Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ‐PbTiO 3 , 17,18 Pb(Yb 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 ‐Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ‐PbTiO 3 , 19,20 Pb[(Zn 0.4 Ni 0.6 ) 1/3 Nb 2/3 ]O 3 ‐PbZrO 3 ‐PbTiO 3 , 21 and Pb(Ni 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ‐PbZrO 3 ‐PbTiO 3 22 ceramics to achieve textured structures. However, given the heterogeneity between the template and matrix ceramic, PT platelets are strongly recommended to realize better quality texture and piezoelectric properties of PT‐based piezoelectric ceramics.…”
