Pressure driven depolarization behavior has been widely investigated for its scientific significance and practical applications. However, previous related studies were all based on lead-containing ferroelectric (FE) materials leading to detrimental environmental concerns. In the present work, we report the pressure driven depolarization behavior in Bi-based lead-free 0.97[(1-x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-xBiAlO3)]-0.03K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (BNT-x) ceramics. Particularly, with increasing hydrostatic pressure from 0 MPa to 495 MPa, the remanent polarization of BNT-0.04 decreases from 30.7 μC/cm2 to 8.2 μC/cm2, reducing ∼73% of its initial value. The observed depolarization phenomenon is associated with the pressure induced polar FE-nonpolar relaxor phase transition. The results reveal BNT based ceramics as promising lead free candidates for mechanical-electrical energy conversion applications based on the pressure driven depolarization behavior.
