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.

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 -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 (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.

Lead-free ceramics have received considerable research interest because of their environmentally friendly characteristics and superb performance in energy storage applications, which are critical for pulsed power electronic systems. In this work, we sintered a series of (0.90 − x)BiFeO3–xBaTiO3–0.10CaHfO3 lead-free ceramics and comprehensively probed the crystallographic structure, grain morphology, electrical properties, etc., to assess their capability for use in energy storage applications. The 0.50BiFeO3–0.40BaTiO3–0.10CaHfO3 ceramic achieved an ultrahigh recoverable energy storage density of 4.70 J cm−3 and an outstanding energy conversion efficiency of 79% and can be considered an excellent material candidate for use in high-power energy storage devices.

As a promising lead-free high-temperature piezoelectric material , BiFeO 3 –BaTiO 3 (BF-BT) is still under debate on its crystal structure, especially for the compositions in the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). Herein, the crystal structure of (1- x )BF- x BT ceramics near the MPB with x = 0.20–0.33 was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy . With the addition of BT, the phase transition from distorted rhombohedral to pseudo-cubic structure was determined by Rietveld refinement . Raman analysis showed the weakening interactions between the A-site cations and BO 6 octahedron, as well as the degenerated distortions of BO 6 octahedron. Intriguingly, the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy suggested the inhibition of Fe 3+ reduction and decrease in oxygen vacancy concentration by the incorporation of BT. In terms of the electrical properties, the significant decline in Curie temperature , improvement in permittivity, and reduction in high-temperature dielectric loss can be observed with the increase of BT content. The increased remnant polarization, enhanced dielectric response and decreased coercive field were helpful for the piezoelectric performance. The maximum room-temperature piezoelectric coefficient of ∼160 pC/N and high-temperature piezoelectric coefficient of ∼324 pC/N were acquired in the x = 0.30 ceramics. This work provides a clear scope for further research on the structural transformation and high-temperature piezoelectric applications of BF-BT system.

High-performance 0.7Bi 1.02 FeO 3 –0.3BaTiO 3 ceramics are prepared by traditional solid-state method with annealing. The effect of annealing temperature ( T A ) on the piezoelectric properties of ceramics are revealed by studying the crystal structures, ferroelectric properties, and electrical properties of the as-sintered ceramic and ceramics annealed at 600, 700, 800, and 900 °C. Through the analysis, we found that T A has little influence on the morphology and crystal structure of ceramics, all ceramics are two-phase ( R-PC ) coexistence structures. But T A relates to the concentration of charge defects. When annealing at 800 °C, the charge defects in the ceramic are the least. Therefore the best performance ( d 33 = 202 \(\pm\) 3 pC/N, T C = 496 °C) ceramic is obtained. Our experiments demonstrate that the charge defects induced by annealing temperature are very important to the piezoelectricity of BFO–BTO ceramics.

With the increasing demand for portable electronics, power electronics and other devices, energy storage materials with high power density and large energy storage density are becoming more and more important. BiFeO 3 -BaTiO 3 lead-free ferroelectric ceramics are deemed as a potential lead-free energy storage material due to their high spontaneous polarization and high Curie temperature. However, high remanent polarization has become a serious obstacle to its practical application. In this work, 0.67Bi (1- x ) Sm x FeO 3 -0.33BaTiO 3 (BS x F-BT, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) was prepared by the conventional solid phase sintering method. The phase transforms from rhombohedral to pseudocubic, and the dielectric and electrical data reveal that relaxor ferroelectrics are favorable for achieving the small size polar nanoregions and enhanced relaxation behavior. Due to enhanced relaxation behavior by doping Sm 3+ , the recoverable energy storage density ( W rec ) reaches 1.99 J/cm 3 , and the energy storage efficiency ( η ) is 57% at a low electric field (190 kV/cm), which is higher than the undoped ceramic ( W rec = 0.272 J/cm 3 and η = 26%). This work also puts forward the concept of Ergodic relaxor ferroelectrics and Non-ergodic relaxor ferroelectrics to explain the improvement of energy storage performance.

The lead-free BiFeO 3 -BaTiO 3 (BF-BT) based ceramics with large piezoelectric coefficient ( d 33 ) have been desired for promising applications in high-temperature fields. Herein, the 0.7Bi(Fe 0.9985 Mn 0.0015 )O 3 -0.3BaTiO 3 ceramics with different grain sizes are intentionally prepared by solid-state method, and a large d 33 (232 pC/N) and high Curie temperature T c (501 °C) are simultaneously achieved in the case of large grain size (>9 µm). X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement analyses indicate that these coarse-grained samples possess stronger rhombohedral distortion and enlarged lattice parameter compared to fine-grained samples, which make domain switching easier and give rise to the increase in strain. As a result, the piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of such samples are significantly improved with increasing grain size from 3.05 µm to 9.07 µm. In addition, electric domain configuration and field-induced strain further prove that the strong piezoelectric response in coarse-grained samples is attributed mainly to enhanced non-180° domain mobility. This study reveals the origin of large piezoelectric response in coarse-grained BF-BT ceramics, and proposes an effective approach to improve the piezoelectric properties of BF-BT ceramics.
