The piezoelectric properties of (1−x)(Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 ) TiO 3 -xBaTiO 3 ceramics were reported and their piezoelectric properties reach extreme values near the MPB (about x= 0.06). The X-ray analysis of (Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 ) 0.94 Ba 0.06 TiO 3 ceramics for all compositions exhibited a pure perovskite structure without any secondary phase. Within a certain ratio of contents, the co-doped ceramics enhanced piezoelectric coefficient (d 33 ), lowered the dielectric loss, and increased the sintered density. The temperature dependence of relative dielectric permittivity (K 33 T ) reveals that the solid solutions experience two phase transitions, ferroelectric to antiferroelectric and anti-ferroelectric to relaxor ferroelectric, which can be proven by P-E hysteresis loops at different temperatures. In addition, the specimen containing 0.04/ 0.01 wt.% CaO/MnO showed that the coercive field E c was a minimum value of 26.7 kV/cm, while the remnant polarization P r was a maximum value of 38.7 μC/cm 2 , corresponding to the enhancement of piezoelectric constant d 33 of 179 pC/N, electromechanical coupling factor k p of 37.3%, and relative dielectric permittivity K 33 T of 1137. (Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 ) 0.94 Ba 0.06 TiO 3 ceramics co-doped with CaO/ MnO were considered to be a new and promising candidate for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics owing to their excellent piezoelectric/dielectric properties, which are superior to an un-doped BNBT system.
