Compositional design by multiphase coexistence is regarded as a guiding rule for material design to develop high-performance piezoelectric materials. An open question is whether a certain PZT composition outside of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region can obtain high piezoelectric response like that close to MPB region. Here, a non-MPB composition, rhombohedral Pb(Zr0.54Ti0.46)O-3 was selected as the parent material. The optimized electrical properties were obtained by Sm doping with a large piezoelectric coefficient d(33) of 590 pC/N, a high planar electromechanical coupling factors k(p) of 57.1%, a large piezoelectric strain S of 0.31% (d(33)* = 632 pm/V), and a promising Curie temperature of 335 degrees C, compared to the commercial PZT5. The enhancement of piezoelectric response can be ascribed to the donor characteristics by Sm replacement, which contribute to polarization orientation of ferroelectric dipoles. This work broadens the domain of high-performance piezoelectrics by developing novel solid solutions beyond the MPB framework. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
