Abstract

Piezoelectric knocking sensors with a dense microstructure were fabricated at 960°C for 2 hours using various CuO-added (Na_0.5K_0.5)NbO₃ (NKN)-based piezoelectric ceramics. The practical sensitivity (S_P) of the knocking sensor, which is the ability to detect the knocking of a car engine, was influenced by the g₃₃ × k_p value of the piezoelectric ceramics, indicating that the g₃₃ × k_p can be considered a figure of merit of the piezoelectric ceramics used in the knocking sensor. The knocking sensor synthesized using the CuO-added 0.95(Na_0.5K_0.5)(Nb_0.95Sb_0.05)O₃–0.05CaTiO₃ (CNKNS–CT) ceramic, which showed a g₃₃ of 25.7 Vm/N and k_p of 0.46, exhibited a high S_P of 119 mV/g at the resonance frequency. The S_P of the commercial knocking sensor, which was synthesized using the Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ (PZT)-based ceramic, was 112 mV/g at the resonance frequency. Hence, the knocking sensor fabricated using the CNKNS–CT piezoelectric ceramic can be used to replace the commercial PZT-based knocking sensor.
