A new lead-free solid solution of (1–x) NaNbO 3-x Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15( Ti 0.9 Zr 0.1) O 3 was prepared by a traditional sintering method and its phase transition, dielectric and piezoelectric properties were studied. Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15( Ti 0.9 Zr 0.1) O 3 diffuses into NaNbO3 lattices to form a new solid solution with perovskite structure. The addition of Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15( Ti 0.9 Zr 0.1) O 3(x≥0.025) transforms NaNbO3 from antiferroelectric to ferroelectric. The diffusive ferroelectric–paraelectric phase transition is induced in the ceramics with high concentration of Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15( Ti 0.9 Zr 0.1) O 3. The ceramics with x = 0.05–0.125 possess large Pr values of 18.6–25.5 μC/cm2. A morphotropic phase boundary between tetragonal and orthorhombic phases is formed at 0.05 < x < 0.15, leading to a significant enhancement of piezoelectric properties. The ceramic with x = 0.125 situated near the morphotropic phase boundary exhibits the optimum piezoelectric properties: d33 = 151 pC/N and kp = 31.6%.
