Popis: Bismuth layer-structured ferroelectric (BLSF) strontium bismuth titanate (SrBi 4 Ti 4 O 15 , SBT) ceramic oxides with B -site cobalt substitutions have been synthesized using conventional solid–state reaction. The dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric properties of cobalt-modified SBT are investigated in detail. The results indicate that cobalt is very effective in promoting the piezoelectric performance of SBT. The SBT modified with 3 mol% Co 3+ (SBT-3Co) exhibits the optimized piezoelectric properties, with a piezoelectric constant d 33 of 28 pC/N, which is the highest value among the modified SBT-based piezoelectric ceramics ever reported. The temperature-dependent electrical impedance, resonance frequencies, and electromechanical coupling factors ( k p and k t ) reveal that the cobalt-modified SBT ceramics have good thermal stabilities of electromechanical properties up to 300 °C. These results demonstrate that the cobalt-modified SBT ceramics are promising materials for high temperature piezoelectric sensors applications.
