One of the most common and useful zirconate ceramics is lead zirconate titanate (PZT). It is a ceramic perovskite material similar to barium strontium titanate (BST) and shows a marked piezoelectric effect—it produces an electrical charge when mechanically compressed, a phenomenon exploited in the production of sophisticated electronic sensors. The piezoelectric effect also works in the opposite direction—PZT can be induced to physically change shape when an external electric field is applied, making it very valuable in actuator applications.
A zirconate is an oxyanion containing zirconium. Examples include Na2ZrO3, Ca2ZrO4 which can be prepared by fusing zirconium dioxide with e.g. Na2O and CaO respectively.
Zirconates are compounds that contain zirconium oxyanions. They are most commonly used in the production of advanced ceramic materials. These materials frequently exhibit dielectric and ferroelectric properties that make them useful in electronics applications and can be used as components of high-temperature solid electrolytes in fuel cells.
