Owing to their low dielectric loss and high permittivity values, dielectric ceramics have garnered a lot of interest from the scientific and industrial sectors. These properties allow for their downsizing and use in a variety of electronic circuits. This present work focuses on the impact of the substitution of W6+ with Mo6+ on the structural and dielectric features of the crystalline phases in a similar TTB structure within the Ba0.54Na0.46Nb1.29W(0.37−x)MoxO5 system, with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.33 mol%. These crystalline phases were elaborated using the conventional solid-state reaction method and analyzed with XRD, Raman, and dielectric techniques. The Rietveld refinement method showed that all these phases are characterized by tetragonal structure and the P4bm space group. The Raman spectra corresponded well to a TTB-like structure, and all the bands were assigned. The dielectric measurements of the prepared ceramic samples facilitated the determination of their phase transition temperature (Tc) and the dielectric responses. This investigation focused on determining dielectric permittivity (ε′) and its correlation with increases in MoO3 content in the ceramic structure.

Using the solid-state process, the new compound Ba0.54Na0.46Nb1.29W0.37O5 was effectively produced in a single crystalline phase. The material’s characteristics were determined by X-ray diffraction and Raman techniques. The Rietveld method was applied to refine the structural properties of this sample using X-ray diffraction data and derive the diffraction line profile. The cell parameters a = b = 12.37843 ± 0.02 and c = 3.93526 ± 0.02 were accustomed to crystallizing this compound in the tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) structure of the space group P4bm. Thanks to Raman measurements, we were able to detect numerous vibration modes in this crystalline phase. The adsorption of methylene blue (MB) on crystalline phase was studied by UV–visible spectroscopy. On account of methylene blue adsorption on Ba0.54Na0.46Nb1.29W0.37O5, it was discovered that this material can be used to remove organic pollutants and thus be used for water treatment.
