In this work, we confirmed the electric -induced transition (EPT) in (K,Na)NbO 3 -based ceramics through experiment and theory. Through in-situ x-ray diffraction measurement, electric field -induced phases (EP) could be observed in the ceramics. To explain the appearance of EP, a new function ex E λ ( ) was introduced to the six order Devonshire theory when the external electric field was applied. The further studies indicate that EPT had two possible forms, i.e., tetragonal -electric induced phase transition (T-EP) and rhombohedral -electric induced phase transition (R-EP), and then T-EP plays a more positive role than R-EP in terms of piezoelectric response. Also, a giant piezoelectricity (d 33 =435~490 pC/N), a high Curie temperature (T C =205~235°C), and converse piezoelectric coefficient (d 33 * =500~890 pm/V) can be achieved by choosing optimum metal oxides as well as their content. We believe that a) Corresponding
