Abstract(in English) Bismuth potassium titanate ((Bi0.5K0.5)TiO3, BKT) is one of the representative lead-free piezoelectric materials, and has a high Curie Temperature, TC=380℃. BKT doped 0 – 40 mol% barium titanate (BaTiO3, BT) were prepared in order to improve piezoelectric constant, d33, of BKT, and their structure and piezoelectric properties were investigated in this work. BKT-BT could be sintered at higher temperatures by adding BT with high melting point, and grain growth was enhanced. Since d33 is affected by the grain size, BKT ceramics doped 10 mol% BT which has high density (97%) and well grain growth microstructure (mean grain size was 1.21 µm) showed 107.3 pC/N in d33.
