Abstract

Abstract: The heightened piezoelectric performance observed in most explored perovskite systems is typically attributed to the electric-field-induced phase transition near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) or polymorphic phase boundary (PPB). This study, however, unveils a distinct piezoelectric enhancement mechanism in the xPb(Nb_2/3Ni_1/3)O₃-(1-x)Pb(Zr_0.3Ti_0.7)O₃ (PNN-PZT) system, diverging from the MPB/PPB-centered piezoelectric systems. Notably, the composition with x = 0.55, positioned close to the tetragonal-pseudocubic (T-PC) phase boundary, achieves an unprecedented piezoelectric coefficient (d₃₃) of 1264 pC/N, while retaining a tetragonal local structure. Importantly, on a local scale, electric fields do not incite phase transitions, suggesting that the exceptional piezoelectric performance in PNN-PZT stems from polarization extension near the T-PC boundary. Distinct from other mechanisms, the relative permittivity significantly increases post-poling due to this particular enhancement process. The dielectric behavior in poled specimens does not exhibit a conspicuous change at the ferroelectric-relaxor transition temperature. However, both the relative permittivity and planar electromechanical coupling coefficient experience a sharp rise in the temperature range of -25 °C to 25 °C. This investigation underscores the pivotal role of designing compositionally-driven T-PC phase boundaries, presenting a promising avenue for enhancing piezoelectric properties in ferroelectric ceramics.
