Summary:Lead‐free BNT ‐based piezoceramics, (1− x ) Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 – x Bi ( Mg 0.5 Ti 0.5 ) O 3 [(1− x ) BNT – x BMT ] (0.00 ≤  x  ≤   0.06) binary system, were synthesized using a conventional ceramic fabrication method. Effect of Bi ( Mg 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 3 ( BMT ) substitution on room temperature (RT) crystal structure, and temperature dependence of electric properties were investigated. The XRD indicates that a pure perovskite phase is formed. The introduction of BMT decreases E C of BNT from 7.3 to 4.0 kV/mm, and increases d 33 from 58 pC/N to 110 pC/N for the x  =   0.05. The system shows a typical ferroelectric ( FE ) polarization loop P ( E ) and butterfly bipolar strain‐electric S ( E ) curve at RT. For the composition of 0.95 BNT –0.05 BMT antiferroelectric ( AFE ) phase appears near 80°C, characterized by a constricted P ( E ) loop and altered bipolar S ( E ) butterfly, and gradually prevails with increasing temperature. Temperature dependence of dielectric constant shows that T C increases from 310°C for pure BNT to 352°C for the x  =   0.05. The results indicate that the piezoelectric properties of BNT have been improved by means of Bi ( Mg 0.5 Ti 0.5 ) O 3 substitution.
