Researchers worldwide have started diving deep into revolutionary sustainable materials called non-toxic lead-free ceramics for a sustainable and safe environment. These days' literature has suggested that Bi-based perovskite compounds are considered to be potential non-lead/lead-free candidates that have attracted much attention because of their giant dielectric response over a wide temperature and frequency interval. Some of the interesting materials among them involve Ba(Fe0.5Ta0.5)O3 (BFT) and (1-x)(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-xBiTiO3 with their remarkable dielectric, piezoelectric and electromagnetic properties. For the contents of this paper, the lead-free perovskite-type ceramics (1-x)Ba0.06(Na0.5Bi0.5)0.94TiO3-xBa(F0.5Ta0.5)O3 (0≤ x ≤1.0) is prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction technique using high purity(>99.9%) carbonates/oxides of BaCO3, Na2CO3, Bi2CO3, TiO2 and Ta2O5. Successful formation of the desired compound is confirmed by XRD and FTIR. The electrical impedance, dielectric constant, and conductivity of the ceramics were studied using a computer-interfaced Impedance analyzer where the temperature was varied at a rate of 5°C/min. In the ceramics, a high degree of polarization was indicated at low applied frequencies, which is directly correlated to high temperature. Short-range translation barrier hopping initiated by thermal activation was also noticed. The ac conductivity, impedance, and other factors with their dependence on applied frequency have been studied to understand its conduction mechanism better. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
