Bismuth layered-structure oxides in the Bi3Ti(TaxNb1−x)O9 quasi-binary system were synthesized by the conventional solid state reaction approach, and their ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties were evaluated together with the structures. The XRD analysis showed that all the ceramics were the single phase. It was found that the remnant polarization (Pr) reached a maximum of 4.2 µC/cm2 when x = 0.5 mol%. In addition, a bright up-conversional photoluminescence (UC) can be measured by partial substituting Er3+ for Bi3+. Under 980 nm radiation excitation, three emission bands located at green (534, 549 nm) and red (670 nm) wavelength regions were obtained at room temperature. These Er3+ doped Bi3Ti(Ta0.5Nb0.5)O9 based ferroelectrics could be used as a multifunctional material for a wide range of applications.
