Electrohydrodynamic deposition of nanostructured lead zirconate titanate.
The deposition of a propanol-based lead zirconate titanate (PZT) sol using electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) in the stable cone-jet mode was investigated. The droplets generated were deposited onto a copper substrate as a film, which was investigated using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The PZT film was shown to contain uniform nano-particles of PZT, which maintained their shape on sintering (650 degrees C, 1 hour) while forming the perovskite phase of PZT.
