BaTiO3 ceramics with different domain sizes were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and normal sintering (NS) using hydrothermally synthesized 100 nm and 500 nm powders. It was found that their piezoelectric constant d(33) shows great dependence on the size of ferroelectric domains. A high d(33) up to 416 pC/N was obtained in the SPSed ceramics derived from 100 nm powders, whose domain width was identified <50nm by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). However, the d(33) values are 216 and 193 pC/N, respectively for the BaTiO3 ceramics prepared by SPS using 500 nm powders and by NS using 100 nm powders, whose microscale domains can be observed by optical microscopy.
