Abstract

Cerium-modified bismuth layer structure CaBi2Nb 2O9(CBNO) ceramics were prepared by using the conventional mixed oxide method. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the cerium modified CBNO ceramics have a pure two-layer bismuth layer structure. The piezoelectric activity of CBNO ceramics was found significantly improved by the modification of cerium. The Curie temperature Tc, and piezoelectric coefficient d33 for the CBNO ceramics with 0.50 wt% cerium modification were found to be 925°C, and 10.2 pC/N respectively. The Curie temperature gradually decreased from 940°C to 900°C with the increase of cerium modification. The dielectric spectroscopy showed that the samples possess stable piezoelectric properties, demonstrating practical potential that for high temperature applications.
