Abstract

CaBi<subscript>2</subscript>Nb<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>9</subscript> ceramics were fabricated via the solid-state reaction method by the addition of B<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> as a sintering aid at lower sintering temperatures than that prepared without B<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>. Ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, and resistivity can be still greatly enhanced when the sintering temperature is decreased from 1075 °C for CaBi<subscript>2</subscript>Nb<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>9</subscript> to 975 °C for CaBi<subscript>2</subscript>Nb<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>9</subscript>–0.25 wt. % B<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>. The high resistivity and weak c-axis texture ensure that the ceramics can be fully polarized in a high enough electric field. The increased spontaneous ferroelectric and remanent polarization result in a significant enhancement in the piezoelectric properties of CaBi<subscript>2</subscript>Nb<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>9</subscript>–0.25 wt. % B<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>. The sample sintered at 975 °C possesses a high piezoelectric coefficient d<subscript>33</subscript> of ∼15.0 pC/N and resistivity of 1.4 × 10<superscript>6</superscript> Ω cm (at 600 °C) along with a high ferroelectric Curie temperature T<subscript>C</subscript> of ∼954 °C. This work is beneficial for the preparation of high-temperature piezoelectric ceramics with excellent electrical properties at a low sintering temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
