MnO2 doping induced structural tuning drives superior piezoelectric response in CaBi4Ti4O15-based ceramics by Qilai Wen, Huan-Huan Guo, Zong-Yang Shen, Zhumei Wang, Tao Zeng, Wenqin Luo, Fusheng Song

“…Here, CaBi4Ti3.89(W1/2Co1/2)0.11O15+x wt%MnO2 (CBTWC–xMn, x = 0–0.25) ceramics with superior piezoelectric responses were prepared via a solid-state sintering method. The mechanism of the high piezoresponse was examined by integrating visual crystal structure analysis with piezoresponse force microscopy, revealing that the introduction of MnO2 led to greater distortion of the [TiO6] octahedron and a more oriented domain structure, both of which are critical factors contributing to the enhanced piezoelectric response. …”
