(Bi0.5K0.5)TiO3 (BKT) is a lead-free piezoelectric material that has attracted considerable attention for high-temperature applications. However, the fabrication of dense ceramics is challenging because of the volatilization of Bi and K during sintering. In this study, high-density (Bi0.5K0.5)1+xTiO3 ceramics were fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS), and the effects of Bi/K nonstoichiometry and heat-treatment conditions on their properties were investigated. The obtained ceramics exhibited relative densities higher than 95%. In addition, increasing x enhanced the ferroelectric phase transition and improved both ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties.
