contents The origin of frequently observed ultrahigh electric-induced longitudinal strain, ranging from 1% to 26%, remains an open question. Recent evidence suggests that this phenomenon is linked to the bending deformation of samples, but the mechanisms driving this bending and the strong dependence of nominal strain on sample thickness have yet to be fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that the bending in piezoceramics can be induced by non-zero gradient of d31 acrcoss thickness direction. Our calculations show that in standard perovskite piezoceramics, such as KNbO3, a 0.69% concentration of oxygen vacancies results in a 6.3 pC/N change in d31 by inhibiting polarization rotation, which is sufficient to produce ultrahigh nominal strain in thin samples. The gradients of defect concentration, composition, and stress can all cause sufficient inhomogeneity in the distribution of d31, leading to the bending effect. We propose several approaches to distinguish true electric-induced strain from bending-induced effects. Our work provides clarity on the origin of nominal ultrahigh electricinduced strain and offers valuable insights for advancing piezoelectric materials.
