Abstract

In this paper, the synergistic effects of Ce4+ ions incorporation into the (Bi2O2)2+ layer and Mo6+ ions at the Nb site on the electrical properties of CaBi2−xCexNb2−xMoxO9 high-temperature piezoelectric ceramics were studied. The appearance of pseudo-tetragonal phase owing to the introduction of Ce4+ ions is beneficial to the polarization switching, and thus, an enhanced piezoelectric response (d33 = 19 pC/N) was obtained in the x = 0.03 sample. Both the ferroelectric and dielectric properties of the doped samples are enhanced. Moreover, the reduction of the oxygen vacancies of the samples resulting from Mo6+ cations could also facilitate the improvement of electrical properties. As a result, a high Curie temperature (TC = 941 °C) and good electrical properties (Pr =14.3 µC/cm2, ρ = 1.1 × 105 Ω cm at 600 °C) were obtained in Ce/Mo-co-substituted CaBi2Nb2O9 ceramics. The results are rather important to explore the piezoelectric ceramics used in high-temperature environment.
