Sr is often doped on the Ba-site of ferroelectric perovskite BaTiO3-based PTC ceramics to move the Curie point of BaTiO3 from similar to 120 degrees C to a lower value for special applications. However, the addition of Sr often decreases their temperature coefficients. Although many methods were adopted to improve it, the temperature coefficient is still under 25%. In this paper, we introduced a small amount x of (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 into BaTiO3-SrTiO3 PTC ceramics. As a result, the temperature coefficient of (1-x) (BaTiO3-SrTiO3)-x(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 ceramics reached an extra high value similar to 38.3% at x = 0.02 and meanwhile its room temperature resistivity was still a practical value of similar to 555.7 Omega cm. The maximum temperature coefficient reached up to similar to 54.0% at x = 0.03 and the corresponding room temperature resistivity was similar to 4930.2 Omega cm. The shift of the Curie point caused by the addition of BNT can be easily offset because that its amount was small. The excellent temperature coefficient was attributed to the weakened relaxation behavior induced by addition of BNT.
