One of the important requirements for piezoelectric materials for use as high strain actuators is that they exhibit large unipolar electrostrain with minimum hysteresis. While large unipolar electrostrain >1% is generally achievable in good quality single crystals, most polycrystalline piezoelectric show low values < 0.4%. Unipolar electrostrain 0.5%–0.7% in polycrystalline piezoelectrics has often been reported in Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-based compositions at the non-ergodic ergodic boundary. Not amenable to poling, such materials exhibit almost nearly zero direct piezoelectric coefficient (d33 ∼ 0 pC/N) and cannot be simultaneously used as a sensor. In this paper, we report a combination of large unipolar electrostrain of ∼0.6% with small strain hysteresis of 25% in a Sn-modified relaxor ferroelectric system PbTiO3–Bi(Ni1/2Zr1/2)O3. It exhibits d33 ∼ 340 pC/N, which is stable up to 130 °C, and large signal converse piezoelectric coefficient d33* ∼ 1200 pm/V. A combination of large d33 and d33* in the same material makes it an important candidate for simultaneous use as a sensor and high strain actuators. X-ray diffraction study in situ with the electric field suggests that large electrostrain with low strain hysteresis in this system is because of the increased reversible switching of the field stabilized tetragonal ferroelastic domains.
