A rapid surge in the research on piezoelectric sensors is occurring with the arrival of the Internet of Things. Single-phase oxide piezoelectric materials with giant piezoelectric voltage coefficient (g, induced voltage under applied stress) and high Curie temperature (T_c) are crucial towards providing desired performance for sensing, especially under harsh environmental conditions. Here, we report a grain-oriented (with 95% <001> texture) modified PbTiO₃ ceramic that has a high T_c (364°C) and an extremely large g₃₃ (115 × 10^-3 Vm N^-1) in comparison with other known single-phase oxide materials. Our results reveal that self-polarization due to grain orientation along the spontaneous polarization direction plays an important role in achieving large piezoelectric response in a domain motion-confined material. Finally, the phase field simulations confirm that the large piezoelectric voltage coefficient g₃₃ originates from maximized piezoelectric strain coefficient d₃₃ and minimized dielectric permittivity ε₃₃ in [001]-textured PbTiO₃ ceramics where domain wall motions are absent.
