摘要

High-temperature piezoelectric ceramics are critical for aerospace and other advanced applications, yet achieving high sensitivity and stability under elevated temperatures remains challenging. In this study, we employ a multi-element co-doping strategy combined with domain engineering to significantly enhance the piezoelectric performance and Curie temperature of Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT)-based ceramics. Using a solid-state reaction method, W6+/Nb5+/Ta5+/Sb3+ non-equivalently co-doped BIT ceramics were synthesized, achieving a high piezoelectric coefficient (d33) of 35 pC N−1, an elevated Curie temperature of 687 °C, and an increased resistivity of 2.9 × 106 Ω cm at an optimal doping level of x = 0.02. This study further reveals the impact of poling conditions on domain structure, providing new insights for enhancing piezoelectric properties through domain configuration. A second high-voltage, short-duration poling process promotes the formation of large domains, underscoring the role of domain rearrangement in augmenting piezoelectric activity. This work demonstrates the potential of BIT-based ceramics in high-temperature sensing and precision actuation applications, presenting a novel strategy for designing high-performance piezoelectric materials for extreme environments.
