Eliminating lead-exposure in nebulization therapy by lead-free piezoelectric [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPresent main-stream medical ultrasonic nebulizers contain Pb(Zr,Ti)O3-based piezoceramics, which could expose the patients to toxic lead when the acidic liquid medicine, compounded with ultrasonic vibration, corrodes the piezoceramics. Enormous amount of

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics: Alternatives for PZT? [PDF]
Journal of Electroceramics, 2007 Investigations in the development of lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have recently claimed comparable properties to the lead-based ferroelectric perovskites, represented by Pb(Zr,Ti)O3, or PZT. In this work, the scientific and technical impact of these materials is contrasted with the various families of “soft” and “hard” PZTs. On the scientific front,
