    A model of a novel 1–3-type composite containing two ferroelectric components is put forward. In this composite, ferroelectric single crystal (SC) rods and ferroelectric ceramic rods are distributed in a polymer matrix. For a lead-free 1–1–3 composite based on domain-engineered [Lix(K1yNay)1x](Nb1zTaz)O3:Mn SC, effective piezoelectric coefficients d3j and g3j and energy-harvesting figures of merit (FOMs) d3jg3j are studied taking an active influence of the ferroelectric components into account. In a new mmc diagram, regions of volume fractions of SC (m) and ceramic (mc) are determined where FOM d33g33 changes from 61011 to 91011 Pa1. Effective parameters of the 1–1–3 and related 1–0–3 composites are compared, and consistency is shown. The large longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient g33 and FOM d33g33 of the lead-free 1–1–3 composite are to be of interest in piezoelectric sensorics and energy harvesting.
