Abstract In this study, the ultra‐low porous auxetic piezoelectric composite made of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and hollow polyvinylidine difluoride (PVDF) is first proposed by combining “additive” and “subtractive” approaches. The electromechanical properties of the auxetic piezoelectric composite are investigated by finite element analysis. It is found that the ultra‐low porosity in the composite may lead to great extensibility along with the excellent figures of merit obtained in conventional highly porous piezoelectric ceramics. The small amount of additional PVDF can greatly tune the electromechanical properties of composite and effectively reduce the maximum stress of PZT. To elucidate the role of Poisson’s ratio on the electromechanical properties of piezoelectric materials, the relationship expressions among some electromechanical coefficients are derived. Moreover, the semi‐empirical expression of “longitudinal” compliance coefficients and a simple strategy for predicting some electromechanical coefficients are presented to instruct design and application of the ultra‐low porous auxetic piezoelectric materials.
