摘要

The effect of CeO2 sintering aid on the microstructural and electrical properties of CaBi2Nb2O9 ceramics was studied. The addition of CeO2 facilitates a reduction in the sintering temperature of CaBi2Nb2O9, improve the grain morphology, increase the relative density, and induce the c-axis oriented growth of some grains. The incorporation of some Ce ions into the B-sites of [NbO6] octahedra results in an increased tetragonal distortion, and therefore significantly affects the electrical properties of the ceramics. The sample with 0.6 wt% CeO2 exhibits an optimal performance with a large remanent polarization (Pr = 18.5 μC/cm2) and a piezoelectric coefficient (d33 = 20.8 pC/N). The results indicate that adding CeO2 as a sintering aid is an effective strategy for enhancing the performance of CaBi2Nb2O9 ceramics.
