Lead-free relaxor ferroelectric ceramics (1−x)(K0.5Bi0.5)TiO3–xBi(Ni0.5Ti0.5)O3were prepared by a conventional solid-state route, the phase transition behavior and corresponding electrical properties were investigated. A typical morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between rhombohedral and tetragonal ferroelectric phases was identified to be in the range of 0.05<x<0.07 where the optimum piezoelectric and electromechanical properties ofd33=126 pC/N andkP=18% were achieved. Most importantly, a high Curie temperature ~320 °C, around which the material shows a typical relaxor ferroelectric behavior characterized by the presence of diffuse phase transition and frequency dispersion, was obtained in MPB compositions, significantly higher than those of some existing MPB lead-free titanate systems. These results demonstrate a tremendous potential of the studied system for device applications.
