The antiferroelectric materials are accompanied by huge strain and energy storage and release in the process of fieldinduced antiferroelectricferroelectric phase transition, which make them great potential in highdensity energy storage devices and electromechanical transducers. An overview is given on the structure features and properties improvement of perovskite Pbbase antiferroelectric materials. The research progress as well as the problems on Pb (Zr, Ti)O3 (PZT)based antiferroelectric material are reviewed.
