摘要
Bismuth layer-structured ferroelectric (BLSF) compound strontium bismuth titanate (SrBi4Ti4O15, SBT) with cerium modifications have been synthesized using conventional solid-state processing. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) analyses reveal that the cerium-modified SBT ceramics have a pure four-layer Aurivillius-type structure. The dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of the cerium-modified SBT ceramics are investigated in detail. The results indicate that the cerium modifications into SBT increase the densities, decrease the sintering temperature, lower the dielectric loss tan delta, and reduce the coercive filed E-c. The piezoelectric measurements show that cerium is very effective in promoting the piezoelectric properties of SBT ceramics. The SBT ceramics modified with 4 mol% CeO2 (SBT-4Ce) exhibit the optimized piezoelectric properties, with a piezoelectric constant d(33) of 27 pC/N, which is the highest value among the modified SBT-based piezoelectric ceramics ever reported. The temperature-dependent electrical impedance and electromechanical coupling coefficients (k(p) and k(t)) reveal that the electromechanical coupling characteristics have a significant deterioration at similar to 400 degrees C because of the high conductivity at high temperature. But the temperature-dependent frequency constants (N-p and N-t) and thermal annealing analyses indicate the cerium-modified SBT ceramics have good thermal stabilities of piezoelectric properties up to 450 degrees C. These results demonstrate that the cerium-modified SBT ceramics are promising materials for high temperature piezoelectric sensors applications. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
