Abstract

(K0.5(1+x)Bi0.5)Bi4Ti4O15 [KBT-10000x, 10000x = (−200)–7] were prepared by the conventional ceramic fabrication process using the KHCO3 powder as the starting material. KBT-0 ceramic indicated high density ratio of higher than 95% and high resistivity of approximately 1012 Ω·cm. A remanent polarization Pr, and coercive field Ec, are 10.4 µC/cm2 and 70.8 kV/cm, respectively. Additionally, a high relative density ratio and resistivity exceeding 97% and approximately 1014 Ω·cm were obtained in K-poor KBT-(−100) ceramics derived from KHCO3. This ceramic also indicated good ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties such as Pr of 12.6 µC/cm2, piezoelectric constant d33 of 16.0 pC/N and the mechanical quality factor Qm of 2366, respectively.
