Abstract It is difficult to realize the balanced development of piezoelectric response {piezoelectric constant (d33) and strain} and temperature stability of potassium-sodium niobate ceramics. Here, we constructed one kind of lead-free piezoceramic system of 0.965K0.45Na0.55Nb0.96Sb0.04O3-0.035(Bi1-xHox)0.5Na0.5HfO3, and rhombohedral & tetragonal (R-T) multiphase coexistence maintains in a wide compositional range of x = 0.05–0.55. Greatly improved temperature stability of piezoelectric response is realized by doping rare earth Ho. Excellent temperature stability of both strain and d33 mainly originates from the weak temperature dependence of domain structure as well as the increased R-T phase transition temperature. As a result, the addition of rare earth Ho can boost temperature stability of potassium-sodium niobate-based ceramics.
