The electric field-induced strain in lead-free piezoceramics is generally limited to less than 0.4%, which hinders their practical applications such as actuator. Herein we report a new composition of 0.94Bi(0.5)Na(0.5)TiO(30.06)Ba(0.85)Ca(0.15)Ti(0.9)Zr(0.1)O(3-x)Li(0.06)(K0.5Na0.5)(0.94)NbO3 (BNT-BCZT-xLKNN) ceramics by adding two modifiers (i. e., Li-0.06(K0.5Na0.5)(0.94)NbO3 and Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3) featuring with a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) into the Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 system. The BNT-BCZT-0.02LKNN shows a high strain of 0.5% as well as a strain-electric field ratio (S-max/E-max) of 625 pm/V, which is one of the best performances compared with reported lead-free piezoceramics. Rietveld refinement and microstructure analysis confirmed the existence of tetragonal (P4bm) and rhombohedral (R3c) phases, and a small part of ferroelectric domains embedded into relaxors according to the PFM, both facilitating the relaxor-to-ferroelectric transformation under an external electric field. As a result, a high strain is obtained in the BNT-BCZT-LKNN system. Our work provides an effective strategy for designing novel lead-free materials with high strain.
