In this work, (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3)4+ cationic substitution in lead-free polycrystalline Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 (NBT) has been adopted to synthesize by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The cationic substitution was introduced into NBT through compositional modification, which significantly restricted grain growth and promoted a ferroelectric to relaxor ferroelectric phase transition. The substitution of (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3)4+ influenced the crystal structure, ferroelectric, dielectric properties, and micromorphology, which had been investigated systematically. The enhancement of relaxor nature is found with this substitution and further verified by dielectric curve, polarization (P) - electric field (E) hysteresis loop, and current (I)- electric field (E) curve. The recoverable energy density was determined to be 1.09 J/cm3 and 1.24 J/cm3 at 101 kV/cm and 114 kV/cm in the 10 mol% and 20 mol% of (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3)4+ substituted systems, respectively. Furthermore, over the 35 ˚C to 490 ˚C temperature range, the 30 mol% (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3)4+ substituted composition showed superior thermal stability in the permittivity. Therefore, this study concluded that these cationic substituted NBT compositions are appropriate materials for applications involving higher-temperature and energy storage in electronic devices. • Recoverable energy storage density (W rec) ≈ 1.24 J/cm3 obtained in the 20 mol% with the efficiency of 54 %. • The introduction of (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3)4+decreases the grain size and improve BDS to improve W rec. • Thermal stability increases in the 35- 490 ˚C temperature range, in the 30 mol% (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3)4+composition.
