Manuscript Topics
Piezoelectric materials can achieve efficient conversion between electrical energy and mechanical energy, and they are the core materials for various high-tech products such as sensors, actuators, energy harvesters, and acoustic devices. Ferroelectric materials play a crucial role in memory, capacitors, and multifunctional devices due to their unique spontaneous polarization and reversible characteristics. Recently, piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials have been expanding from traditional lead-based materials to high-performance lead-free piezoelectric materials (such as KNN, NBT, BCZT, BF-BT, etc.). Moreover, polymer piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials such as PVDF and its co-(ter-)polymers, as well as PVDF-based organic-inorganic composite materials, are receiving increasing attention and are playing a key role in new fields such as flexible sensors, wearable electronics, and energy harvesting devices. Therefore, continuously exploring the mechanisms and application potential of new materials (such as electronic dielectrics) is the future development direction. This special issue aims to bring together the latest research results and promote in-depth development of basic theories, preparation technologies, performance characterization, and device applications.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions on, but not limited to, the following topics:
• Material basic theory and new systems
The basic principles and physical mechanisms of piezoelectric/ferroelectric materials; new lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, ferroelectric films, single crystals, polymers, and composite materials; multiferroic materials, electronic dielectrics, etc.
• Material preparation and performance control
Advanced preparation, processing, and modification technologies for high-performance materials; characterization and research on the structure-performance relationship of materials; related functional materials, such as flexoelectricity, shape memory alloys, etc.
• Device design and application research
New piezoelectric/ferroelectric devices, such as energy harvesters, sensors, transducers, actuators, ultrasonic equipment, and acoustic metamaterial devices; design, modeling, simulation, packaging, reliability verification, and applications in non-destructive testing, medical health, wearable devices, intelligent systems, etc.
• Cross-disciplinary and frontier areas
Mechanical theories, computational methods, and experimental research on intelligent materials and metamaterials; exploration of the application of piezoelectric/ferroelectric materials in emerging fields, such as solid-state electrolytes and perovskites.
