Effects of 0.5 wt% CuO addition on the sintering, structural and electrical properties of perovskite layer structured (PLS) Sr 2 Nb 2 O 7 ceramics prepared by solid‐state reaction method are investigated. The addition of CuO is beneficial to the liquid phase bridge formation at sintering process, leading to lower sintering temperature of 1180°C and larger bulk density up to 98%. Meanwhile, CuO modified Sr 2 Nb 2 O 7 ceramics show a remarkable d 33 of (1.1 ± 0.1) pC/N while still with a very high T c of (1340 ± 2)°C. Raman spectra indicate that the improvement of piezoelectricity could be attributed to the rotation and/or distortion of oxygen octahedron caused by possible Cu 2+ substitution at the A‐sites of Sr 2 Nb 2 O 7 .
