In contrast to the reported phase diagrams determined using poled ceramics, an additional phase regionexhibitingP4bmnanodomainswas revealed at room temperature around the x = 0.06 morphotropic phase boundary, where optimal properties are obtained.In combination with dielectric characterizations, the hot-stage and room-temperature TEM study suggest an excellent structure-property correlation below 250 ºC. The P4bmnanodomains are associated with the“relaxorantiferroelectric” behavior, which is a new concept proposed in this study to describe the unique short-range-orderedantiferroelectricbehavior, while large ferroelectric domains give rise to long-range-ordered ferroelectric behaviors.In contrast to the sharpness of thecorresponding dielectric anomaly, thestructural transition between large ferroelectric domains and P4bmnanodomains occursgradually in a temperature range of several tens of degrees.The results are summarized as an updated phase diagram for unpoled(1-x)(Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3–xBaTiO3 ceramics. The 0.93(Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3–0.07BaTiO3ceramic was further investigated with the E-field in situ TEM technique.  The transition of the nanodomains of the relaxorantiferroelectricP4bm phase to the lamellar microdomains of the ferroelectric P4mm phase was revealed for the first time.  When the applied field increased further, the coalescence of lamellar microdomains into a huge P4mm domain was also recorded.  Our results directly confirmed the occurrence of an E-field induced phase transition during the poling process in morphotropic phase boundary compositions of the (1-x)(Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3–xBaTiO3 lead-free piezoceramics.
