BiFeO 3 –BaTiO 3 is a promising lead-free piezoelectric ceramic, exhibiting high Curie temperature and superior electrochemical characteristics. In this work, ( 1 − x ) BiFeO 3 – x BaTiO 3 (BF– x BT, x = 0 . 2 6 , 0.28, 0.30, 0.32, 0.34, 0.36) ceramics were fabricated using the conventional solid-state reaction method through precise composition control. Multiple characterization techniques, including X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and electrical property testing systems, were applied to systematically examine the crystallographic structure, microstructure, as well as the dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the BF– x BT ceramics. The XRD results confirm that all compositions exhibit a typical perovskite structure, transitioning from a single rhombohedral phase to a rhombohedral–cubic phase mixture as the BT content increases. SEM shows apparent core–shell microstructures in the ceramics. Notably, the results demonstrated that the BF–0.30BT ceramic exhibits the maximum piezoelectric constant ( d 3 3 ) ∼ 2 1 7 pC/N, while the BF–0.34BT ceramic displays the maximum converse piezoelectric constant ( d 3 3 ∗ ) ∼ 3 2 3 pm/V, which highlights the suitability of BF–BT ceramics for high-performance piezoelectric applications.

BiFeO 3 -BaTiO 3 (BF-BT) ceramics are an excellent choice for high-temperature lead-free piezoelectric ceramic due to their high Curie temperature and good piezoelectric properties , but the volatilization of Bi leads to the formation of A-site cationic vacancies and oxygen vacancies , culminating in heightened leakage currents and detrimental effects on piezoelectric properties. In this study, a chemical composition of 0.70Bi (1+ x ) Fe 0·97 Al 0·03 O 3 -0.30BaTiO 3 ceramics, abbreviated as B 1+ x FA-BT, where 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05, were synthesized, with special attention on the effects of Bi compensation and poling process on their insulation and piezoelectric properties. Due to the coexistence of R - PC phases and low leakage current, B 1+ x FA-BT ceramics exhibit excellent piezoelectric properties and high Curie temperature, among which the B 1.02 FA-BT ceramic boasts optimal overall properties: d 33 = 196 pC N −1 , T C = 480 °C, k p = 34%, θ max = 49.5° and Q m = 32, under optimal poling parameters E p = 50 kV cm −1 and T p = 100 °C. The poling process is directly linked to the reorientation of domains, the redistribution of positive/negative space charge and the aggregation or injection of holes, which is achieved by tuning the poling field and temperature in a ceramic with optimal integrated piezoelectric properties. The poling process of BF-BT ceramics is significantly influenced by their leakage characteristics, which can have a significant impact on their overall performance. Optimizing electrical poling conditions and minimizing leakage current is crucial to achieving favorable piezoelectric properties in BF-BT ceramics with R - PC coexisting structures.

Recently, it is shown that the thin films of BiFeO 3 –BaTiO 3 –SrTiO 3 have ultrahigh-energy storage density. However, the energy storage properties of BiFeO 3 –BaTiO 3 –SrTiO 3 ternary bulk ceramics have not been studied. In this work, the BiFeO 3 –BaTiO 3 –SrTiO 3 ceramics have been prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method and the dielectric and electrical energy storage properties have been studied in detail. The ceramic with the composition of 0.25BiFeO 3 –0.30BaTiO 3 –0.45SrTiO 3 is experimental evidenced to be the best with the highest dielectric permittivity in the ternary system. To suppress the dielectric loss and leakage current, 0.25BiFeO 3 –0.30BaTiO 3 –0.45SrTiO 3 has been doped with Mn. Mn-doped ceramics have the same perovskite structure but the fine grains are formed and the number of pores decreases. Mn-doping reduces dielectric loss, enlarges the thermally stable zone of the dielectric, and improves the electrical energy storage density simultaneously. 2 mol% Mn-doped 0.25BiFeO 3 –0.30BaTiO 3 –0.45SrTiO 3 has the most optimized electrical energy storage properties. The energy storage density is 1.33 J/cm 3 and the efficiency is 88.5% at 185 kV/cm. The discharge energy density is 2.7 times that of undoped 0.25BiFeO 3 –0.30BaTiO 3 –0.45SrTiO 3 and 90% stored energy can release in 120 ns.

The investigation of lead-free ceramics with exceptional piezoelectric properties holds great importance in the substitution of lead-based materials, hence promoting the development of green technology and fostering an environmentally sustainable society. This study successfully synthesized two series of Bi(Mg 2/3 Nb 1/3 )O 3 (BMN)-modified BiFeO 3 –BaTiO 3 (BF–BT) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics using the conventional solid-state reaction approach. The phase structure, microstructure, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties of these ceramics were comprehensively investigated. A typical perovskite structure is observed in all probed compositions, and the associated phase structure undergoes a gradual transition from a rhombohedral-cubic phase mixture to a cubic-dominant phase structure as increases the content of BMN and BT. All compositions exhibit obvious core–shell microstructures with inhomogeneous element distributions. Most importantly, the BF–0.30BT–0.005BMN and BF–0.34BT–0.03BMN piezoelectric ceramics presented remarkable values for the piezoelectric coefficient (225 pC/N) and converse piezoelectric coefficient (396 pm/V), respectively. These findings highlight the potential of BMN-modified BF–BT ceramics for use in high-performance piezoelectric applications.

BiFeO 3 –BaTiO 3 (BF–BT) ceramics exhibit higher piezoelectric coefficients ( d 33 ), Curie temperatures ( T C ), and temperature stability than other high-temperature lead-free piezoelectric materials. However, despite their crucial role in piezoelectric devices, the mechanical properties of BF–BT ceramics have been underexplored. A thorough evaluation of the mechanical properties of BF–BT is crucial for developing cost-effective and durable lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. Moreover, the specific causes of the high piezoelectric response and excellent temperature stability of BF–BT ceramics remain unclear owing to the instrumental detection threshold, which limits experimental studies to temperatures above 140 °C and below the degradation temperature of d 33 . To investigate the intrinsic origins of the high piezoelectricity and temperature stability of BF– x BT ceramics and to enhance their mechanical properties, a two-step sintering process is used to fabricate these ceramics (0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.40). Owing to improvements in grain refinement and reduced Bi 3+ volatilization, the BF–0.33BT ceramic exhibits enhanced overall performance, with a modified small punch strength of 155 MPa, Vickers hardness of 5.2 GPa, a d 33 of 220 pC/N at room temperature, T C of 466 °C, and d 33 values exceeding 400 pC/N at 260 °C. Phase-field simulations, which address the limitations of device detection thresholds, reveal that with increasing temperature, the domain structure relaxes, and polarization intensity decreases. This indicates that changes in the high-temperature piezoelectric properties can be attributed to domain structure relaxation and the increase in dielectric constant. Overall, BF–BT ceramics exhibit superior piezoelectric performance, mechanical properties, and temperature stability, making them highly suitable for use in high-temperature and demanding environments.

BiFeO 3 –BaTiO 3 (BF–BT) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have high piezoelectricity and high Curie temperature ( T C ), but the mixed-valence Fe ions and Bi 3+ volatilization would promote the formation of Bi 25 FeO 40 /Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 and oxygen vacancy, which greatly degrade the insulation properties required for polarization. In this study, it was found that the modification of BiAlO 3 (BA) in BF–BT ceramics could effectively solve these problems, reducing the leakage current to 1 × 10 −9 A·cm −2 and transiting the space charge-limited conduction to ohmic conduction. Because of the enhanced insulation properties and appropriate rhombohedral-pseudocubic phase ratio ( C R / C PC ), BF–BT– x BA ceramics in an optimized composition obtain enhanced piezoelectric performance: piezoelectric charge coefficient ( d 33 ) = 196 pC·N −1 , planar electromechanical coupling coefficient ( k p ) = 31.1%, T C = 487 °C and depolarization temperature ( T d ) = 250 °C; unipolar strain ( S uni ) = 0.17% and piezoelectric strain coefficient ( d 33 * ) = 335 pm·V −1 at 100 °C. Especially, d 33 exceeds 283 pC·N −1 at 233 °C and d 33 * is 335 pm·V −1 at 100 °C, showing an excellent high-temperature piezoelectricity and high depolarization temperature. The results are attributed to the domain structure of rhombohedral-pseudocubic phase coexistence and its high-temperature switching behavior. This work provides a feasible and effective approach to improve the high temperature piezoelectric properties of BF–BT– x BA ceramics, making them more suitable for high temperature applications.

BiFeO 3 -BaTiO 3 -based ceramics are promising multiferroic materials for a wide range of applications. In this paper, the effects of different ionic valence state((Ga 0.5 Ta 0.5 ) 4+ , Ta 5+ ) doping on the structure and properties of 0.73BiFeO 3 -0.27BaTi 1- y (Ga 1- x Ta x ) y O 3 ceramics were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that all samples were determined by rhombohedral R3c phase and tetragonal P4mm phase. A frequency-independent dielectric anomaly with obvious thermal hysteresis was detected in all samples, indicating the first-order ferroelectric phase transition, and the Curie temperatures were all above 600°C. The ferroelectric analysis found that the doping of donor element Ta reduced the coercive field, with a slight decrease of remanent polarization, which can be attributed to the soft effect of Ta element. Meanwhile, the magnetic properties were enhanced for all samples, with a maximum in 15T ( x = 1, y = .015) sample, where M r = .13 emu/g. According to relevant analysis, high-valence element substitution can enhance the magnetic properties and reduce the coercive field of BiFeO 3 , while low-valence element substitution can reduce dielectric loss. This result points out a way for us to choose appropriate doping elements to improve the performance of BiFeO 3 ceramics.

The enhanced piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of the tetragonal 0.67BiFeO 3 –0.33BaTiO 3 (BF–33BT) ceramics without MnO 2 doping or other dopants via tailoring sintering temperature ( T S ) and dwell time ( t d ) are reported. All ceramics crystallized in a single tetragonal phase, independent of the adopted T S and t d . As the T S or t d is increased, the BF–33BT ceramics show an increase in grain size and in relative density, while T S > 980 °C or t d > 6 h would result in more oxygen vacancies caused by Bi 3+ evaporation and/or reduction of Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ , along with a reduced relative density and an increased current leakage density. Because of the increased grain size, the higher relative density, and relatively less oxygen vacancies, high d 33 = 151 pC/N and P r = 25.9 μC/cm 2 were achieved in tetragonal BF–33BT ceramics with T S = 980 °C and t d = 6 h. In addition, large unipolar strain of 0.146% and \(d_{33}^{*}\) =326 pm/V (40 kV/cm), as well as high T C = 427 °C were also obtained in the BF–33BT ceramics with T S = 980 °C and t d = 6 h. Our studies indicate that the grain size, the relative density, and the oxygen vacancies play important roles for the piezoelectric properties of BF–33BT ceramics.

The (1- x )BiFeO 3 - x BaTiO 3 (short for (1- x )BFO- x BTO, x = 0.2–0.4) ceramics were prepared by solid-state reaction with microwave sintering (MWS) and conventional sintering (CS) methods. The crystal structure, microstructures, dielectric properties , ferroelectric properties , and magnetic properties of BFO-BTO ceramics sintered by MWS and CS were systematically investigated. It is found that the MWS can effectively decrease the grain size and enhance the compactness of BFO-BTO ceramics. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results confirm that all ceramics exhibit a single perovskite structure, and the phase transforms from rhombohedral in BiFeO 3 -rich compositions to pseudo-cubic phase gradually as x increases. Introducing BTO into BFO can strengthen its dielectric relaxation behavior. Compared with CS, the MWS samples have a lower remanent polarization ( P r ) and a smaller coercive field ( E c ) under the same electric field. Therefore, MWS contributes to the decrease of dielectric loss. Addition of BTO can contribute to the reduction of the coercive force ( H c ) of BFO-based ceramic, and so decrease the hysteresis loss. At the same time, its remanent magnetization ( M r ) value can be decreased by introducing BTO into BFO and using MWS method. The present research provides a route for decreasing the dielectric loss and hysteresis loss of BiFeO 3 -based ceramics using the MWS method.

The binary perovskite-type compound (1 − x )BiFeO 3 – x BaTiO 3 (BF-BT) is considered as a promising high-temperature lead-free piezoelectric material due to its high Curie temperature ( T C > 400 °C) and better electromechanical properties. In this work, ternary lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with a chemical formula of (0.67 − x )BiFeO3–0.33BaTiO3– x Bi(Zn0.5Ti0.5)O 3 + 1 mol% MnO 2 (where x = 0–0.05) were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction route. The effects of Bi(Zn 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 3 introduction on the phase structures and microstructures, piezoelectric and dielectric properties, as well as impedance characteristics of BF-BT ceramics were investigated in detail. Firstly, all the samples synthesized exhibit a pure perovskite structure with the coexistence of rhombohedral ( R ) and tetragonal ( T ) phases, and the T phase content increases with increase in x . A small amount of Bi(Zn 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 3 ( x ≤ 0.03) that were incorporated into the perovskite lattice of BF-BT can promote the grain growth of ceramics. Secondly, all samples were found with a notable relaxed phase transition behavior, T C of the system decreases with increase in x . The AC impedance spectra of the samples were fitted and analyzed according to the R-CPE equivalent circuit model, the electric impedance of the ceramics at high temperatures was mainly contributed by grain boundaries. Moreover, the dielectric relaxation activation energy of the samples firstly decreases and then increases with increase in x . Finally, the composition with x = 0.02 shows the optimized electrical properties among these samples, including T C = 454 °C, d 33 = 117 pC/N, k p = 23%, tan δ = 0.11, which are mainly benefited from the bismuth content compensation and the substitution of (Zn 0.5 Ti 0.5 ) 3+ for Fe 3+ at B-site reducing the valence change of Fe 3+ in BF-BT.

BiFeO3-BaTiO3 is a promising high-temperature piezoelectric ceramic that possesses both good electromechanical properties and a Curie temperature (TC). Here, the piezoelectric charge constants (d33) and strain coefficients (d*33) of (1 – x)BiFeO3-xBaTiO3 (BF-xBT; 0.20 ≤ x ≤ 0.50) lead-free piezoelectrics were investigated at room temperature. The results showed a maximum d33 of 225 pC/N in the BF-0.30BT ceramic and a maximum d*33 of 405 pm/V in the BF-0.35BT ceramic, with TCs of 503 and 415 °C, respectively. To better understand the performance enhancement mechanisms, a phase diagram was established using the results of XRD, piezoresponse force microscopy, TEM, and electrical property measurements. The superb d33 of the BF-0.30BT ceramic arose because of its location in the optimum point in the morphotropic phase boundary, low oxygen vacancy (VO··) concentration, and domain heterogeneity. The superior d*33 of the BF-0.35BT ceramic was attributed to a weak relaxor behavior between coexisting macrodomains and polar nanoregions. The presented strategy provides guidelines for designing high-temperature BF-BT ceramics for different applications.
