Optimisation of piezoelectric and dielectric properties of Bi4Ti2.95W0.05O12 ceramics by Ce4+ doping by Chen Tao, Liu Tiantian, Chen Yang, Qi Zhang

“…The results indicated that an appropriate level of Ce4+ doping resulted in a suitable degree of lattice distortion within the piezoelectric ceramics, thereby enhancing both the piezoelectric and dielectric properties while reducing dielectric losses. Notably, when the doping level reached x = 0.04, the sample exhibited its optimal performance, specifically with a d33 of 25 Pc/N, TC of 618°C, tan δ of 0.09 and Qm of 3364. …”
