Abstract The cerium modified sodium bismuth titanate (Na 0.5 Bi 4.5 Ti 4 O 15 , NBT) piezoelectric ceramics have been prepared by using the conventional mixed oxide method. X‐ray diffraction analysis revealed that the cerium modified NBT ceramics have a pure four‐layer Aurivillius phase structure. The piezoelectric activity of NBT ceramics was found significantly improved by the modification of cerium. The Curie temperature T c , and piezoelectric coefficient d 33 for the NBT ceramics with 0.50 wt% cerium modification were found to be 655 °C, and 28 pC/N respectively. The Curie temperature gradually decreased from 668 °C to 653 °C with the increase of cerium modification. The dielectric spectroscopy showed that the samples possess stable piezoelectric properties, demonstrating practical potential that for high temperature applications.
