Abstract
Maintaining a high Curie temperature (TC) along with a piezoelectric coefficient (d33) is crucial for the effective application of actuators and sensors. In this study, (0.36-x)BiScO3-0.64PbTiO3-xBaTiO3 ceramics were synthesized via the solid-state reaction method. We thoroughly investigated the influence of BaTiO3 (BT) additions on the structural, dielectric, ferroelectric, electrostrain and piezoelectric properties of ceramics. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that the phase evolution from a coexistence of coexistence of rhombohedral (R) and tetragonal (T) phases to a tetragonal (T) phase as the BT content increasing from 0 to 20%. The temperature-dependent dielectric properties exhibited a diffused phase transition with increasing BT content. The piezoelectric coefficient (d33) is most noticeable at 450 pC/N, with an electromechanical coupling factor (kP) of 57% and a Cuire temperature (TC = 399.5 °C). In addition, a large electrostrain of Smax = 0.23% and a high remanent polarization (Pr) of 54.7 μC/cm2 were observed and stable at x = 0.05. These results suggest that the BS-PT-xBT (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.20) ceramics are promising candidates for high-temperature piezoelectric applications.
