Abstract
High-Curie temperature complex piezoelectric ceramics (1 − x)CaBi4Ti4O15−xBi4Ti3O12 (short for (1 − x)CBT–xBIT) were fabricated by a solid-state reaction method. The evolution of the crystal structure and the electric property of (1 −x)CBT–xBIT ceramics were investigated. (1 − x)CBT–xBIT had an orthorhombic structure, and no impurity phases existed in. With the addition of BIT, the “CBT part” of 0.9CBT–0.1BIT ceramic had larger crystal structure distortion than CBT ceramics, especially the tilt from the c axis of the TiO6 octahedron layers. The crystal structure analysis indicated the enhanced octahedral tilt angle is beneficial to the ferroelectricicity of (1 − x)CBT–xBIT ceramics. The residual polarization Pr of (1 − x)CBT–xBIT ceramics (x = 0, 0.1, 1) were 1.97 µC/cm2, 6.33 µC/cm2 and 2.28 µC/cm2, respectively. And, the addition of the “BIT part” increased the concentration of oxygen vacancy and affected the conduction mechanism. Two anomalies (Tm1 and Tm2) existed in the temperature dependence of the dielectric behavior corresponding to the phase transition. Besides, Tm2 and d33 decreased with x increasing and Tm1 did not change markedly. Moreover, 0.9CBT–0.1BIT ceramic obtained the optimal piezoelectric constant (d33 = 15.2 pC/N) and dc resistivity (1.6×105 Ω·cm at 700 °C) compared to that (d33 = 15.2 pC/N, 3.1×104 Ω·cm at 700 °C) of CBT ceramics.
