Abstract

Bismuth layered structural ferroelectrics (BLSFs) with high Curie temperature (TC) and low aging rate establish the groundwork for the advancement of high-temperature piezoelectric devices. CaBi2Nb2O9 (CBN) is an excellent candidate for possessing the highest TC value (∼940 °C) among BLSFs. However, its poor piezoelectricity impedes practical applications. Generally, the excellent piezoelectric properties of CBN-based ceramics depend on intrinsic and extrinsic contributions. Here, Aurivillius ferroelectrics with triple-doping ions, Ca1–2x(LiBi0.7Ce0.3)xBi2Nb2O9 (CBN-xLBC), were fabricated to achieve large piezoelectric constant (d33∼23.3 pC/N) and high Curie temperature (∼906 °C) simultaneously due to tetragonal distortion and smaller nanodomains. Besides, the DC resistivity of optimal sample is still above 1×105 Ω·cm at 600 °C. At the same time, the ferroelectricity is improved significantly with large Pr (∼18.9 μC/cm2) when x=0.275. The improved comprehensive performance of CBN-based ceramic indicates that proper various ions synergetic effect plays an important role and CBN-0.275LBC ceramic is expected to apply in practical industry.
