    The doping of other materials into the structure of BCZT ceramics can improve the electrical properties. The lead-free piezoelectric ceramics in the (1-x)BCZT–xBCLST binary system, where x = 0.00, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.07 mol, were synthesized using a two-step mixed oxide method. Initially, pure phases of 0.5Ba(Zr<inf>0.2</inf>Ti<inf>0.8</inf>)O<inf>3</inf>-0.5(Ba<inf>0.7</inf>Ca<inf>0.3</inf>)TiO<inf>3</inf> (BCZT) and Ba<inf>0.93</inf>Ca<inf>0.04</inf>La<inf>0.03</inf>Sn<inf>0.1</inf>Ti<inf>0.9</inf>O<inf>3</inf> (BCLST) powders were separately prepared by mixed oxide and conventional solid-state reaction methods. X-ray diffraction patterns and Ti K-edge X-ray Absorption Near-Edge Structure (XANES) spectra revealed structural distortions in BCLST-doped ceramics. The electrical properties including dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric properties were evaluated. Besides, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss at room temperature of BCZT–BCLST ceramics were enhanced with increasing BCLST content. The dielectric properties at room temperature improved with increasing BCLST concentration from x = 0.00 to x = 0.03 mol, with the maximum dielectric constant rising from 1408 to 2552—an increase of approximately 81 %. The hysteresis P–E loop of BCZT–BCLST ceramics exhibited a slim loop, with a maximum remanent polarization (P<inf>r</inf>) of 7.22 μC/cm<sup>2</sup> observed at x = 0.03 mol. The optimal doping condition for BCLST in BCZT ceramics was found at 0.03 mol, yielding the highest piezoelectric coefficient (d<inf>33</inf>) of 235 pC/N—an improvement of approximately 9 % compared to the undoped sample (x = 0.00).

    In this study, we investigated the effect of zirconium content on lead-free barium zirconate titanate (BZT) (Ba(Zr<inf>x</inf>Ti<inf>1-x</inf>)O<inf>3</inf>, with x = 0.00, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.08), which was prepared by the sol-gel method. A single-phase perovskite BZT was obtained under calcination and sintering conditions at 1100 °C and 1300 °C. Ferroelectric measurements revealed that the Curie temperature of BaTiO<inf>3</inf> was 399 K, and the transition temperature decreased with increasing zirconium content. At the Curie temperature, Ba(Zr<inf>0.03</inf>Ti<inf>0.97</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> with a dielectric constant of 19,600 showed the best performance in converting supplied mechanical vibration into electrical power. The experiments focused on piezoelectric activity at a low vibrating frequency, and the output power that dissipated from the BZT system at 15 Hz was 2.47 nW (30 MΩ). The prepared lead-free sol-gel BZT is promising for energy-harvesting applications considering that the normal frequencies of ambient vibration sources are less than 100 Hz.
