Bismuth layer-structured ferroelectrics (BLSFs) possess high Curie temperatures, making them a focal point of research in high-temperature piezoelectric sensor devices. However, their poor piezoelectric performance and low direct-current (DC) electrical resistivity hinder their effective deployment in high-temperature applications. To overcome these shortcomings, we employed composition optimization by partially substituting bismuth ions with rare-earth praseodymium ions. This approach enhances the piezoelectric performance and improves the DC electrical resistivity by preventing the loss of volatile bismuth ions and stabilizing the bismuth oxide layer (Bi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>)<sup>2+</sup>, thereby reducing the concentration of oxygen vacancies. Consequently, we achieved a large piezoelectric constant <em>d</em><sub>33</sub> of 23.5 pC/N in praseodymium-substituted Bi<sub>5</sub>Ti<sub>3</sub>FeO<sub>15</sub>, which is three times higher than that of pure Bi<sub>5</sub>Ti<sub>3</sub>FeO<sub>15</sub> (7.1 pC/N), along with a high Curie temperature <em>T</em><sub>C</sub> of 778 °C. Additionally, the optimal composition of 4 mol% praseodymium-substituted Bi<sub>5</sub>Ti<sub>3</sub>FeO<sub>15</sub> exhibits good thermal stability of electromechanical coupling characteristics up to 300 °C.
