One of the inherent disadvantages of Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 -based (BNT-based) piezoceramics is that an increment of the depolarization temperature (T d ) is generally accompanied by a deterioration of the temperature stability of the real-time piezoelectric constant (d 33 ), which severely restricts the practical applications of the materials. Herein, we propose a new strategy to mitigate the conflict between the elevation of T d and the temperature stability of the real-time d 33 in BNTbased ceramics via integrating the pressure-assisted sintering and quenching process. By this strategy, we not only increased the T d from 109 to 166 • C but also improved the temperature stability of the real-time d 33 (the temperature coefficient T tc = ± 13 pC/N) in 0.94Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 -0.06BaTiO 3 ceramic. Both the built-in field and the increment of the field-induced R3c phase fraction play the significant role in enhancing the T d and the temperature stability of the realtime d 33 . Thus, our work provides a simple and effective approach for designing piezoceramics with high T d and a superior temperature stability of the real-time d 33 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
