Lead-free piezoelectric Bi0.5(Na0.78K0.22)0.5(Ti1-xHfx)O3ceramics (abbreviated as BNKTH-100x,x=0–0.05) were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The effects of Hf substitution on the crystal structure and electromechanical properties were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the BNKTH-100xceramics revealed a single-phase perovskite structure with no evidence of secondary phases. The temperature-dependent dielectric curves of the BNKTH-100xceramics were found to broaden with increasing Hf concentration. The electric-field-induced strain of the BNKTH-100xceramics increased up tox=0.03 and then decreased. An enhanced electric-field-induced strain of 0.38% is observed for the BNKTH-3 ceramic. The corresponding normalized strain (Smax/Emax=d33*) for this composition was 475 pm/V at an applied electric field of 80 kV/cm. The BNKTH-3 ceramic can be considered as a promising candidate material for lead-free electromechanical applications.
