Li, Ta modified (K,Na)NbO 3 single crystals with the size of 18 mm × 18 mm × 10 mm were successfully grown by top‐seeded solution growth method, with orthorhombic–tetra‐gonal phase transition temperature ∼79 °C and Curie temperature ∼276 °C. The electromechanical coupling factors k 33 and k t were found to be ∼88% and ∼65%, respectively. The piezoelectric coefficient d 33 for the [001] c poled crystals reached 255 pC/N. In addition, the electromechanical coupling factor exhibited high stability over the temperature range of –50 °C to 70 °C, making these lead free crystals good candidates for electromechanical applications.
