摘要

Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-based ergodic relaxor (ER) ferroelectrics show great potential in high-precision actuators due to their ultralow hysteresis electrostrain. However, the relatively small electrostrain value limits their applications. Grain and defect engineering in a simple ER ferroelectric ceramic (0.65Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.35SrTiO3) successfully generate a high strain of > 0.7% with an ultralow hysteresis of < 12% at room temperature. It was found that sintering temperature play a vital role in the relaxor characteristics, electrobending and asymmetric field-induced strain behaviors by modulating the grain size, core–shell structure, and defect concentration. It was experimentally observed that with the increase in sintering temperature, the core–shell structure gradually disappears while the grain size and \(\left( {V_{A}^{{\prime \prime }} - V_{O}^{{ \cdot \cdot }} } \right)\) V A - V O · · defect dipoles concentration increases obviously, making the enhanced dielectric relaxation, ferroelectric ergodicity, electrostrain asymmetry, and electrostrain value. This work will contribute to understanding the importance of sintering temperature in inducing large electrostrain in the defect-engineered BNT-based ER ferroelectric ceramics.
