Abstract
Lead-free multiferroic ceramics of BiFeO3-BaTiO3-Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 have been prepared by a conventional ceramic technique. The microstructure, multiferroic, and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics have been studied. The ceramics sintered at 1000°C for 2 h possess a pure perovskite structure and a morphotropic phase boundary of rhombohedral and tetragonal phases is formed at x = 0.02. After the addition of Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3, two dielectric anomalies are observed at high temperatures (Tm ~ 510°C–570°C and T2 ~ 720°C). The phase transition around Tm becomes wider gradually with increasing x. The ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, and ferromagnetism of the ceramics are significantly improved after the addition of Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3. High resistivity (~1.3 × 109 Ω·cm), strong ferroelectricity (Pr = 27.4 μC/cm2), good piezoelectricity (d33 =140 pC/N, kp = 31.4%), and weak magnetic properties (Mr =0.19 emu/g) are observed.
