Many noncentrosymmetric compounds [1, 2] are related to basic materials of present electronics and optics. For example, ferroelectricity [3], piezoelectricity [4], and second-order nonlinear optical [5, 6] behavior are the basis of numerous applications. Therein, the formation of FE and AFE state is of great interest for the study of phase transition physics. The performance of anti-/ferroelectric materials is strongly dependent on phase transformation process, which is mainly determined by the external electric field, pressure and temperature [7]. As an important kind of electronic materials, AFE materials have been extensively investigated for applications in energy storage capacitors [8, 9], ultrafast charge-discharge equipment [10, 11], electrocaloric cooling devices [12, 13] and pyroelectric security sensors [14, 15] due to their external electric field-induced FE/AFE phase switching behavior. In early papers, the investigations on FE/AFE transitions have been focused on Pb (Zr, Ti) O3 (PZT)-based AFE ceramics with low PbTiO3 (PT) and numbers of peculiarities of FE/AFE phase transitions have been reported [16–21]. For example, the electric field-induced AFE to FE phase transition [16, 17], the temperature-driven FE to AFE phase transition [18, 20] and the electric field-induced AFE to AFE phase transition process [19, 21]. Nevertheless, most of PZT-based AFE ceramics are easily damaged near the AFE/FE phase switching electric field due to low breakdown fields [7]. Therefore, many strategies have been applied to improve their electrical performances, including adjusting their constitutions and external field conditions [22–24]. However, the adjustable component interval and electric field range are relatively narrow, which is severely limited in practical applications as an AFE material.
