摘要

High-temperature lead-free piezoelectric ceramics Ca(LaxBi1−x)4Ti4O15(CBT-xLa, x = 0 to 0.12) by La3+ ions modified were prepared using a conventional solid-phase reaction method. Based on different La3+ doping content, the phase structures, dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of CBT-xLa ceramics are investigated systematically. The addition of trace La3+ dopant does not cause significant change in the crystal lattice structure of CBT ceramics, but the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition temperature (Tc) decrease from 790 °C to 600 °C with the increase of La3+ content. This is because the 6s2 lone electrons of Bi3+ ions have a weakened effect with the decrease of Bi3+ content, the substitution of La3+ reduces the structural distortion of original crystal structure. Besides, the grain size decreases significantly with the increase of La3+ content, from 0.57 μm to 0.39 μm. In addition, the oxygen vacancies were reduced by La3+ doping, which lead to improvement of the electrical properties for CBT ceramics effectively. Especially, CBT-0.01La is the optimal component with the best ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties with good thermal stability, a remnant polarization of Pr = 29.7 µC/cm² and a piezoelectric constant of d33 = 13 pC/N were achieved. This work provides a promising candidate for high-temperature piezoelectric materials.
