Graphical abstract: Display Omitted Highlights: ► (0.79 − x)Pb(In{sub 1/2}Nb{sub 1/2})O{sub 3}–0.21Pb(Zn{sub 1/3}Nb{sub 2/3})O{sub 3}–xPbTiO{sub 3} ceramics were prepared by two-step method. ► A morphotropic phase boundary region has been determined in the composition range of 0.28 < x < 0.32. ► The compositions within MPB region exhibit excellent piezoelectric properties. -- Abstract: (0.79 − x)Pb(In{sub 1/2}Nb{sub 1/2})O{sub 3}–0.21Pb(Zn{sub 1/3}Nb{sub 2/3})O{sub 3}–xPbTiO{sub 3} (x = 0.23–0.35) ternary ferroelectric system in the form of ceramics have been synthesized. Its structure and properties have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction and electric measurements. A morphotropic phase boundary region has been determined in the composition range of 0.28 < x < 0.32, where the Curie temperature T{sub C} and the rhombohedral–tetragonal phase transition temperature T{sub RT} were found to vary from 243 °C to 295 °C and 145 °C to 191 °C, respectively, much higher than PMNT and PZNT systems. The compositions within MPB region exhibit excellent piezoelectric properties such as piezoelectric coefficient d{sub 33} > 646 pC/N, T{sub RT} > 145 °C, T{sub C} > 273 °C and E{sub C} > 13 kV/cm for 0.5PIN–0.21PZN–0.29PT and 0.49PIN–0.21PZN–0.30PT, making the ceramics of this system a promising material for high power and high temperature application.
