Abstract

The solid-state reaction method is used to prepare the 0.94(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3–0.06BaTiO3 modified by WO3 lead-free ceramic. The unpoled (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.94Ba0.06Ti1−(3/2)x W x O3 with pseudo-cubic structure undergoes transition from ferroelectric to relaxor ferroelectric that happens in the T d. The maximum reversible temperature change |ΔT| = 0.8 K occurs at the room temperature due to the decline of temperature. In addition, |ΔT| = 0.15 K at the (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.94Ba0.06Ti1−(3/2)x W x O3 with x = 0.75 mol% exhibits good thermal stability at the temperature range of 303–413 K.
