Lead‐free piezoelectric (1 – x – y )( Bi 1/2 Na 1/2 ) TiO 3 – x BaTiO 3 – y ( K 0.5 Na 0.5 ) NbO 3 ( BNT – BT – KNN ) ceramics were examined in situ under increasing temperature in the transmission electron microscope. Changing superstructure reflections indicate a transition from rhombohedral to tetragonal to cubic phase with broad coexistence regions. The additional evolution of the microstructure in combination with dielectric measurements leads to a model of two relaxor‐type phase evolutions with temperature.
