Lead-based ferroelectric materials dominate the electronic industry due to their possible applications in sensors, actuators, advanced storage materials, microwave devices, and MEMS. Due to the toxicity of lead, there is a need for the development of environmentally compatible alternatives. Lead-free ternary solid solutions of (1−2x)K0.5Bi0.5TiO3-xBaTiO3-xLiNbO3 (KBLN100x) with x = 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.09 are synthesized using a standard solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction studies confirm the pseudocubic structure of the samples. Structural, Raman, dielectric and piezoelctric studies indicate that a normal to relaxor ferroelectric transition occurs as dopant concentration increases, and it is attributed to the increase in charge fluctuation and site disorder that resulted in the reduction in correlation lengths of the inbuilt dipole moments. A recoverable energy density of 1.3 J/cm3 was achieved for the KBLN7 sample, making it an attractive candidate in the energy storage realm. A strain value of 0.17% with Smax/Emax of 218 pm/V is observed for KBLN3 sample, indicating that K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (KBT)-based systems can be used for actuator applications on further improvement. The normal-relaxor crossover of KBT with appropriate dopants indicates that KBT-based systems are efficient for both actuator and energy storage applications on improvising and tuning as required.
