From the application point of view, high electric field-induced strain with ultra-low hysteresis or hysteresis-free characteristic is highly desired in high-precision displacement actuators. In this work, lead-free Ba(ZrxTi1-x)O-3 (BZT) ferroelectrics with x in the range between 0.02 and 0.1 were fabricated by a conventional solid state reaction method. The structural evolution and electrical properties were investigated systematically with an emphasis on electrostrictive effect. As x increases from 0.02 to 0.1, the crystal lattice parameters (a and c axes) increase while the tetragonality (c/a-1) goes down. In addition, the Curie temperature (T-C) of BZT decreases gradually, while the temperatures corresponding to tetragonal-to-orthorhombic (T-O) and orthorhombic-to-rhombohedral (O-R) phase transitions increase. Ultra-low hysteresis (0.15% at 60 kV/cm) are observed in all studied compositions. Most importantly, a high longitudinal electrostrictive coefficient Q(33) (0.0453 m(4)/C-2) was also identified in x = 0.1 composition. This work not only reports high electric field-induced strains with ultra-low hysteresis and high Q(33) in lead-free BZT ferroelectrics, but also indicates a potential application for BZT ceramics in high-precision displacement actuators.
