A perovskite‐like layer‐structured compound, Ce 2 Ti 2 O 7 , was prepared in the argon atmosphere using solid reaction process. Single phase and dense Ce 2 Ti 2 O 7 ceramic was fabricated by high‐pressure sintering at 4 GPa and 1100°C. This compound is unstable in oxygen/air when temperature is above 400°C, but it is stable under argon/vacuum. Differential scanning calorimetry result shown Ce 2 Ti 2 O 7 has a phase transition at 1073°C, which might be the Curie point. The ferroelectricity of Ce 2 Ti 2 O 7 was confirmed by the piezoelectric activity after poling ( d 33 = 0.4 ± 0.2 pC/N) for the first time.
