Antiferroelectric 0.94(Bi 0.534 Na 0.5 )TiO 3 -0.06BaTiO 3 ceramics were prepared using a solid-state reaction method, involving the addition of excessive amounts of Bi2O3 . The resulting ceramics featured a very high phase transition temperature (Tm~330°C), from the antiferroelectric to the paraelectric phase, and a low depolarization temperature (Td<25°C). The broad temperature range, within which antiferroelectric properties are retained, of the prepared materials indicates their higher potential over lead-based antiferroelectric ceramics such as PZT-based materials that exhibit a lower T m ≤170°C. The lower Td and higher T m obtained val- ues, relative to those reported in the literature, are believed to be due to the formation of A-site vacancies originating from the incorporation of excess Bi into the perovskite structure of the studied sample. In addition, the synthesized sample shows a high dielectric constant of ~1460, in a temperature range of 50-150°C at 1 kHz, and a high energy storage density of 0.71 J/cm 3 , which is an asset in energy storage capacitor applications.
