Abstract

Na0.65Bi0.45Cu3Ti4O12 ceramics were successful prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction technique. Compared to Na0.50Bi0.50Cu3Ti4O12 (NBCTO), the composition of Na0.65Bi0.45Cu3Ti4O12 was designed in terms of changing the Na/Bi ratio. Colossal dielectric permittivity of ~1.2 × 104 at 1 kHz was obtained in Na0.65Bi0.45Cu3Ti4O12 ceramics. Interestingly, three frequency dispersions were observed in the frequency dependence of dielectric constant measured at different temperatures. The investigation of electric modulus displayed that the giant low-frequency dielectric constant was attributed to Maxwell–Wagner polarization at the grain boundaries and the frequency dispersion in middle-frequency range was due to the grain polarization. Except grain response and grain boundaries response reflected by two semicircles in the impedance spectroscopy, another electrical response associated with nonzero high frequency intercept was found. The grain resistance Rg and grain boundaries resistance R gb was ~600 Ω and 3.9 × 105 Ω, respectively. The large intrinsic permittivity as high as ~700 was obtained. Furthermore, two dielectric anomalies observed in the temperature dependent of dielectric constant were discussed in detail. The results indicated change in the Na/Bi ratio had a significant effect on the electrical properties of NBCTO ceramics.
