This study focused on the synthesis and electrical property measurements of the lead zirconate titanate (PZT)-bismuth indate (BI) perovskite solid solution system. As the PZT binary system is a very well-developed and integrated materials system, identifying new ternary systems based on PZT would allow for a new dimension of control into the exploration and improvement of its electrical properties, which could enable enhancements in the performance of current technology and devices. Here, the solid solution of BiInO-PbZrO-PbTiO ( x BI-(1- x ) PZT 52/48) was explored.

A ternary solid solution of lead-free NaBiTiO-BaTiO and BiGaO (NBT-BT-BG) was prepared using conventional, solid-state synthesis. Compositions were prepared near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) of ( 1- x )NBT- x BT, located near x = 0.04 -0.
